The British School, Qatar – Acoustic Supply for Multi-Purpose Hall (MPH)

Project Snapshot

Client:

The British School

Location:

Qatar

Application:

Acoustic and sound isolation treatment for Multi-Purpose Hall (MPH)

Products Supplied:

SoundBlanket® MLV 4 mm (Sound Isolation)
Turbo™ Acoustic Foams (Echo Control)

Objective:

Create a controlled acoustic environment suitable for school assemblies, performances, and events.

Client Challenge

The Multi-Purpose Hall (MPH) at The British School required a dual acoustic approach to:

Block sound transmission to adjoining spaces

Control echo and reverberation within the hall for speech clarity

Ensure materials used were safe, effective, and school-friendly

The challenge was to supply high-performance, durable acoustic materials suitable for a high-use educational facility.

Our Approach

We supplied two complementary products to achieve the required results:

SoundBlanket® MLV 4 mm

Installed behind walls to create a high-STC barrier preventing noise transfer.

Slim profile suitable for large halls without consuming usable space.

Turbo™ Acoustic Foams

Added to hall surfaces to absorb echo and reduce reverberation, ideal for speeches, performances, and student gatherings.

High NRC foam engineered for clear sound and comfort in multi-functional educational spaces.

Products & Specifications

SoundBlanket® MLV 4 mm

Frequently Asked Questions

What was supplied to The British School, Qatar?

SoundBlanket MLV 4 mm as the sound isolation layer and Turbo acoustic foam for echo control, for the Multi-Purpose Hall. The brief required both, because the hall had to be contained from adjoining spaces and controlled internally for speech.

Why does a multi-purpose hall need isolation as well as absorption?

Because it does two conflicting jobs. Assemblies and performances generate high levels that must not disturb classrooms nearby, which is an isolation problem answered with mass. At the same time speech from the stage has to be intelligible in the hall, which is an absorption problem. Neither product solves the other's job.

What STC does SoundBlanket MLV 4 mm achieve?

STC 34, tested to ASTM E90, at a density of 2100 kg/m3. It is installed behind the wall finish and sealed at every edge and penetration, since the sealing rather than the material is what usually decides the result on site.

Are these materials suitable for a school environment?

They are specified for it. The felt and foam grades used in education carry Class A fire classification to ASTM E84, and PET felt additionally carries UL GREENGUARD certification for low VOC emission, which is what allows it into occupied teaching spaces.

Does MMT Acoustix supply schools outside India?

Yes. This project was delivered in Qatar, and MMTPL supplies education, hospitality and infrastructure projects across 25+ export markets with ASTM, EN and ISO test documentation as the specification requires.

Who manufactured the materials for this project?

MMTPL (Mahabir Multi Tech Private Limited) manufactures the full range at its Palwal plant in Haryana, India, and supplies architects, consultants and turnkey contractors in India and 25+ export markets.
