Mass panels
EASYmass mass plates are excellent for improving sound insulation without taking up extra space. They are made from a special polymer mixed with barium sulphate, a natural mineral. This provides high mass even with thin plates. They are convenient for adding weight to existing plates, floors, and ducts to reduce sound transmission. The mass plates do not contain heavy metals or bitumen.
What are mass panels?
Mass loaded vinyl is designed to add extra mass to surfaces like floors and walls, improving sound insulation. The higher the weight of the surface you add, the better the sound insulation will be.
These sheets, made of plastic, are suitable for improving the sound insulation of various materials such as plastic, wood, steel and aluminium.
Soundproofing mass panels
Sound-insulating mass plates are versatile. They can be used for isolating floors, air ducts, pipes, and even for reducing noise in generators, motors, machines, and compressors.
Unlike traditional materials, our sound insulation mats do not contain heavy bitumen or metals. They are filled with a combination of polymer and the natural mineral barium sulphate.
FAQ
What are mass plates
Mass loaded vinyl, also known as MLV, are flexible yet heavy soundproofing materials.
MLV consists of vinyl to which mineral fillers have been added to increase the mass. Thanks to this extra mass, the material is particularly effective at damping sounds such as voices, music, footsteps, and traffic noise.
Despite its relatively high weight, MLV is thin and therefore easy to apply in various constructions, such as walls and floors.
How do mass-loaded panels work against sound?
Due to the combination of high weight and flexibility, Mass Loaded Vinyl (MLV) is particularly effective in sound insulation. It blocks sound waves and dampens vibrations across a wide frequency range.
Can mass slabs be combined with other insulating materials?
Mass plates are ideally suited in combination with decoupled partition walls, floating floors, and absorbent materials. For example, they contribute to both sound insulation and vibration damping in machine enclosures.
How do you mount large plates in a wall, floor, or ceiling?
Mass Loaded Vinyl (MLV) can be glued with contact adhesive or mechanically attached (for example, with nails) to lightweight surfaces such as wood or other board materials. The material is suitable for both flat and slightly curved surfaces.
For which applications are mass plates suitable?
Massive panels are versatile for improving sound insulation, for example in partition walls, floors, strengthening doors and shutters, machine enclosures, speaker cabinets, and ventilation ducts. Additionally, they are especially suitable as draught seals for wooden floors.
