How to Soundproof Noisy Pipes

Measure the circumference and length of the pipe section you want to treat. Cut your mass loaded vinyl so it fully wraps the pipe with slight overlap at the seam.

You can choose Luxury Liner Pro™, which has closed cell foam already fused to the vinyl, or you can use Luxury Liner™ Foil Faced Mass Loaded Vinyl with OverKill Pro™ installed as the first layer between the pipe and the vinyl for situations where you need to reflect radiant heat away from the pipe as well.

Wrap the pipe so the decoupling layer sits directly against the pipe surface. This prevents vibration from transferring into the mass loaded vinyl and improves overall noise reduction.

You can use our double sided tape to help hold the material in place until you can fasten it.

Secure the wrapped material using nylon cable ties spaced evenly along the pipe (every couple of feet works). The ties should be snug but not so tight that they compress the decoupling layer completely. This step ensures the barrier is secure to the pipe.

Seal every seam and overlap using tape to prevent sound leaks. Any exposed gaps can allow airborne noise to escape, reducing the effectiveness of the installation. Use our foil tape or vinyl tape to tape the seams.
