Quick picker: Roll (this product) for custom shapes, large continuous areas, and behind drywall. for spot-treating a window, behind a TV, or a small wall section. How Mass Loaded Vinyl works Noise has one big enemy: mass. The denser the surface, the less sound passes through. Most apartment walls, hollow doors, and car panels don't have enough mass - that's why you can hear the neighbor's TV, traffic on the freeway, or your washing machine three rooms away.
This sheet is 2 lb/sq ft (9.8 kg/m²) - the same pros spec into recording studios and home theaters. The full 1 m x 1 m sheet weighs about 22 lb (9.8 kg). That mass is what blocks airborne sound.

▾ Do I need a contractor to install this? No. Most customers install it themselves with scissors and double-sided tape in under an hour. The sheet is heavy (~22 lb / 9.8 kg) so two people make it easier on a wall or ceiling.
▾ How do I cut a 1 m x 1 m sheet? Lay it flat, mark the cut line on the back with a marker, then cut with sharp scissors or a utility knife against a straight edge. It cuts cleanly without splintering.
▾ Will it block my neighbor's bass or subwoofer? It will reduce it. Low-frequency bass is the hardest noise to block; for heavy bass, layer 2 lb/sq ft MLV behind drywall with an air gap. Mid and high frequencies are blocked dramatically - STC 31-33 turns loud speech into a muffled murmur.
▾ Is 2 lb/sq ft heavy enough for shared apartment walls? Yes. 2 lb/sq ft is the industry-standard MLV pros use behind drywall in recording studios. For thin shared walls, layer it on top of the existing drywall and add an acoustic underlay if possible.
▾ Does it smell? No. Low-emission, non-toxic, fire-retardant. Safe for bedrooms and nurseries.
▾ Can I paint it or cover it with fabric? Yes. Most customers cover with fabric, drywall, or acoustic foam panels for a finished look. The black color works fine bare in garages, basements, and vehicles.
▾ Will it stick to a brick wall? Use construction adhesive on brick or concrete. Double-sided tape, staples, and screws work for drywall, doors, and metal.
▾ How many sheets cover one wall? An 8 ft x 10 ft wall (~2.4 x 3 m) is about 80 sq ft (~7.2 m²) - that's about 8 sheets. For most apartment walls, 2-4 sheets covers a focused trouble spot.
▾ Is it waterproof? Yes. Safe in basements, garages, vehicles, and laundry rooms.
▾ Can I return it if it doesn't work? Yes - 100-day returns on unused, sealed sheets. servicearrowzoom.com with your order number.
