Wall Blokker Lite Data Sheet Wall Blokker Lite Specs

Commercial Acoustics Wall Blokker Lite is a lightweight, 0.6 lb/sf, 1/16″ thick EVA-based soundproofing membrane engineered to block airborne noise and dampen structure-borne vibration. With a stand-alone STC rating of 21, it can raise partition ratings into the STC 50–70+ range, making it an ideal solution for metal-stud wall assemblies.

Durable yet flexible, Wall Blokker Lite installs quickly by stapling or nailing directly to studs before drywall. Designed as an affordable alternative to heavier sound membranes, it has been tested in the most common assemblies across the hospitality and multi-family industries.

Wall Blokker Lite Product Description

Commercial Acoustics Wall Blokker Lite is a lightweight, EVA-based soundproofing membrane designed for effective noise reduction in hospitality, multi-family, and residential projects. At just 1/16″ thick and weighing 0.6 lb/sf, Wall Blokker Lite installs easily on metal or wood studs to reduce sound transfer while keeping material weight and cost low. With a stand-alone STC rating of 21, it can raise partition ratings into the STC 50–55+ range when integrated into common metal-stud walls.

Developed as a cost-effective alternative to traditional PVC-based MLV, Wall Blokker Lite maintains durability without off-gassing or material breakdown. Its balance of mass and flexibility provides both airborne noise blocking and structure-borne vibration control, making it a practical solution for projects that need dependable soundproofing performance at a lower weight.

1.5 DELIVERY, STORAGE, AND HANDLING
A. All materials shall be delivered in original unopened packaging.
B. Wall Blokker may be stored in a wet or dry environment and may be stored outdoors for up to three months on construction sites without special tarps or covering.

If stored below freezing temperatures, material may require up to 48 hours of acclimation to regain pliability.
Acclimate Wall Blokker Lite for a minimum of 24 hours at temperatures 60 degrees (F) or greater to reduce material stiffness when handling.
If material stiffens, it may be softened more rapidly using a heat gun.

1.6 PROJECT CONDITIONS
A. Wall Blokker Lite is typically installed after framing, insulation, and electrical are complete. Insulation should be installed in the wall cavity in addition for optimal performance.
B. Ensure that all applicable inspections are completed prior to installation of Wall Blokker Lite.
C. Wall Blokker Lite may be installed prior to “drying in” the building (prior to installation of windows and doors).

Drywall should be installed within 2-4 weeks afterwards to prevent excessive wear.
a. For longer delays, washers should be installed for securely fasten the material.
Drywall installation permanently attaches Wall Blokker Lite to the stud.

PART 3 – EXECUTION

3.1 PREPARATION
A. Wall and/or stud assembly to receive Wall Blokker must be structurally sound prior to installation.
B. Wall must be clean and free of debris.

Protrusions greater than 1/16” shall be scraped from the surface to avoid puncturing.
C. See Section 1.6 for additional project condition requirements.

3.2 INSTALLATION
A. Starting in one corner of the room, install Wall Blokker Lite flush with the top of the top plate, and hang it vertically.
B. Wood Studs:

Attach Wall Blokker Lite to the top of the wood top plate using wide-crown ½” staples or pan head screws.
Fasten every 12” horizontally along the top plate.
Straighten Wall Blokker Lite from the top down so that it is flush against the studs.
Attach Wall Blokker Lite to the center of each vertical wood stud using ½” staples or pan head screws.
Fasten every 36” vertically along the center of each stud using an exterior fastener pattern, only fastening to the stud where the seam falls.
C. Metal Studs:
Attach Wall Blokker Lite directly to the light gauge metal studs using drywall screws.
Fasten every 12” horizontally along the top.
a. Wall Blokker Lite installed on walls greater than 15’ in height shall be secured with
washers along the top to prevent the fasteners from tearing the material.
b. Fasteners shall be used on intermediate studs (in addition to exterior studs) every 12’ vertically.
Straighten Wall Blokker Lite from the top down so that it is flush against the studs.
Attach Wall Blokker Lite to the center of each vertical stud using drywall screws.
Fasten every 36” vertically along the center of each stud.

3.3 PROCEDURE
A. Install Wall Blokker Lite as required on all walls.
B. Keep fasteners as flush as possible to prevent protrusion into the finished wallboard.

Fasteners shall not protrude more than 1/16” from Wall Blokker Lite surface.
C. Do NOT overlap the seams of separate sheets.
Tightly butt the side of the next sheet of Wall Blokker Lite to the edge of the existing attached sheet.
D. For seams that do not fall on a stud, tape with “Seam-Seal” or equivalent.
If seams fall on the stud with gaps greater than 1/8”, then taping is also required.
Ensure that there are no bubbles or wrinkles in the tape. Commercial tape alternatives include commercial duct tape.
The tape is semi-permanent and will be permanently sealed in position when drywall is installed. Drywall installation will seal Wall Blokker against the existing studs.
E. Cut Wall Blokker Lite to fit around irregular objects and penetrations including outlets, switches, and junction boxes.
Gaps shall be less than 1/8”.
Gaps greater than 1/8” shall be sealed with acoustical or non-hardening caulk.
Gaps greater than 1/4” may be filled with backer rod or fiber batting.
Putty pads should be installed on the back of all electrical boxes.
F. Caulk the bottom of the floor plate at the floor line with acoustical sealant.
G. Install drywall per normal technique (ASTM C840).
Wall Blokker Lite will be fastened permanently when the gypsum board is installed.
