PVC Sound Barrier – Decoupler

PVC Sound Barrier with Closed-Cell Foam PVC Decoupler

High-Performance Noise Control for Demanding Environments

The Mass Loaded Vinyl Sound Barrier with PVC Foam Decoupler from Acoustical Surfaces is a professional-grade sound barrier roll designed to reduce noise transmission and improve the overall comfort and safety in a large number of varying environments. This high-density, multi-functional material combines a 1 lb. per square foot mass loaded vinyl noise barrier with a ¼” thick, closed-cell PVC foam decoupler to enhance acoustic separation between surfaces.

Ideal for use behind walls, ceilings, floors, ductwork, piping, machinery, and HVAC systems, this sound barrier is intended for superior sound control without compromising thermal insulation or durability.


Key Features:

  • Sound Transmission Reduction: Effectively blocks and contains airborne noise, improving acoustic performance in both residential and commercial applications.
  • Integrated Foam Decoupler: Enhances noise isolation by separating structural components and preventing vibration transfer.
  • Thermal Barrier: Offers added protection against temperature fluctuations, contributing to energy efficiency.
  • Durable & Moisture-Resistant: Resists mold, mildew, and degradation in demanding environments.
  • Safe & Reliable: Meets UL 94-HFTI Class C flammability standards for building material compliance.
  • Eco-Conscious Manufacturing: Produced using environmentally considerate PVC materials.


Product Specifications:

  • Material: 1 lb. Per Square Foot (~1/8” thick) Mass Loaded Vinyl with ¼” Thick Closed-Cell PVC Foam Backer
  • Thickness: 3/8″
  • Size: 54″ wide × 20′ roll
  • Colors: Vinyl: Black, Foam Decoupler: Grey
  • STC Rating: 27 (ASTM C423)
  • Installation: Can be mechanically fastened to most solid surfaces or laid onto horizontal surfaces

Designed to meet the needs of construction professionals, designers, and building owners, this sound barrier provides a durable, high-performance solution for modern acoustic challenges.
