Mass Loaded Vinyl

By Sweetwater on February 12, 2013

Mass loaded vinyl, or MLV, is a heavy, limp vinyl sheeting material that usually has been impregnated with metal particles to increase its mass. Mass loaded vinyl is used for adding mass to walls and ceilings as part of a soundproofing or sound control scheme. Often mass loaded vinyl is sandwiched between sheets of other material, such as between two layers of drywall, to create wall and ceiling covering. In some cases, mass loaded vinyl is denser (heavier per square foot) than sheet lead. A great example of mass loaded vinyl is Auralex SheetBlok.

If you do not, interest will be charged on the promo balance from the purchase date. The required minimum monthly payments may or may not pay off the promo balance before the end of the promo period, depending on purchase amount, promo length and payment allocation.

The estimated required monthly payment shown which excludes taxes and delivery equals the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown. If you make these payments by the due date each month, you should pay off this amount financed within the promo period, if it is the only balance you are paying off. If you have other balances on your account, this payment will be added to any other minimum monthly payments.
