In its base form, MLV is a thin (typically 1/8 or 1/4 thickness) sheet of vinyl that is infused with Calcium Carbonate (non-toxic & very dense) to add weight to such a thin product. The charcoal BlocknZorbe panels add density and absorption, while the Quiet Quilt acoustic blanket is an exterior rated absorptive blanket. If you're adding absorption to soften the barrier so that it reflects less sound and transmits less sound through it, you don't need to cover 100% of the fence but more coverage is better.Our recommendation is to cover both sides with wood panels to create a mass loaded vinyl sandwich. Use nails or screws to attach the material to your frame, making sure to overlap the sheets 2 to 3 inches to ensure you don't have any gaps. As for adding density with mass loaded vinyl, if the posts and rails of your fence are the frame, the mass loaded vinyl is the picture.

Mass loaded vinyl works so well for fences, because it’s cost-effective, thin relative to its density, and very durable for outdoor use. It ’s best to incorporate mass loaded vinyl sound barrier during the initial construction, ideally nailed or screwed in between your fence panels. They're frequently used on construction sites, in event spaces, and around industrial rigs.Īnother option for fences is mass loaded vinyl. The fence should be at least 8 feet tall, as close to the noise source as possible, and have no gaps. These sound blankets can be used with wood fences, chain link fences, or any other structure where it can be hung. If you’re building your own fence, you'll get the best results if you combine the fence with Quiet Quilt Soundproof Blankets. Chain link fences are cheap and easy to build, and great support for an exterior-rated soundproof blanket.
