- 1). Measure the wall area of your cubicle to determine how much MLV, plasterboard and foam you will need. Buy the thinnest possible plasterboard, 1/4 inch, as space-saving is imperative in a cubicle. For the foam, buy double the amount of wall space you want to cover. Again, go for 1/4-inch thick foam.
- 2). Add water to the universal bonding compound, a gypsum-based compound for direct bonding plasterboard to walls, until it forms a liquid difficult to stir. Spread the compund over both sides of the MLV, using a paint roller, and attach foam padding. This is your soundproofing sheet. The foam is there to absorb sound waves stopped by the MLV.
- 3). Cover one side of your soundproofing sheet with universal bonding compound and hold it flat against the wall of your cubicle. Hold it until you can feel a bond form then leave it to dry. Continue until you have covered all wall space of your cubicle.
- 4). Spread universal bonding compound on the underside of a plasterboard sheet. Press the plasterboard against the exposed side of the soundproofing sheet. Wait until a bond is formed, as before, and then leave to dry. Continue until all sides of the cubicle have been covered.
