Manufactured in India, supplied in Austria
Soundproofing materials in Austria
We manufacture soundproofing materials at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Austria. Made at our own plant in India and routed through Koper or Hamburg, then rail and road inland.

- One batch across the order, no blending between runs
We make this ourselves and ship it to you. No local branch, no borrowed certifications, no dealer margin. One batch across the whole order, and an honest answer when the product is wrong for the problem.
01 / The material
What this is, and what it changes in a Austria room
The blocking side of the range taken together: mass loaded vinyl, resilient layers, cavity absorption and the build-ups they belong in. This is the page for someone whose problem is noise getting through, not a room that sounds wrong.
Work reaching us from Austria is mostly apartments, alpine hotels, offices, schools, clinics, studios, timber buildings.
Gruenderzeit blocks have solid masonry walls and timber joist floors, so footfall carries even where airborne noise does not. Newer stock is concrete and much harder inside.
- Independent leaf A second wall that does not touch the first. Nothing else comes close for the money.
- Resilient bar Where a full independent leaf will not fit. Effective, and very easy to short circuit with one wrong screw.
- Floating floor Resilient layer and deck, to break impact energy before it reaches the structure.
- What it will not do Soundproofing fails at the gaps, not the materials. A service penetration, a back to back socket, or a door undercut will undo a correctly built wall.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for our soundproofing materials are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Austria.

02 / Specification
The numbers, and they do not move by city
The specification below is the same everywhere we supply, because a specification that changed by city would not be a specification. What changes is which grade and build-up is the right buy, and that is what the rest of this page is about.
- Light retrofit2.5 mm membrane. Where depth is not available
- Standard partition4 mm membrane on an independent leaf. The common specification
- Heavy6 mm membrane and full decoupling. Plant, machine enclosure, low frequency

Where a consultant is already engaged on a Austria project, we supply to their specification and send the test reports rather than describing them. More on working with acoustic consultants.
03 / Local conditions
What the buildings in Austria do to the specification
- Landlocked, so plan the inland leg
Koper is the shorter route from India, Hamburg the more frequent one. Either way there is rail and road after the port, and we build that into the date rather than quoting you a port arrival.
- Timber construction is growing
Cross laminated and timber frame buildings are light. Light means low frequency passes easily, so the answer is added mass and a resilient break, not more absorption.
- Resort work runs to an opening date
Alpine hotel refurbishment happens in a short window between seasons. Real dispatch and transit dates matter more than a slightly better price.
- Numbers before materials
Send the target values and the build-up. We will tell you what our material reaches and where it will not get you there, in writing, before you commit.
- Plant and HVAC
Mechanical ventilation with heat recovery in newer buildings, so duct-borne noise is the source.
- The housing stock
Gruenderzeit blocks have solid masonry walls and timber joist floors, so footfall carries even where airborne noise does not. Newer stock is concrete and much harder inside.
Architects working in Austria usually need the build-up before the product. We will draw the section and mark what does the work. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate and durability
Why the climate in Austria changes the material, not the target
Austria is cool and damp, with long heating seasons and cold external walls, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
Cold wall build-ups and long heating seasons mean interstitial condensation is a real risk behind any lining. PET felt is unaffected by damp air and will not feed mould where a fabric-faced mineral product would.
The risk we design against here is condensation behind linings in older, poorly insulated stock.
Interior designers tend to arrive with the look already decided. We will tell you which finish gets there without losing the acoustics. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Supply
Getting it to Austria, with real dates
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Koper or Hamburg, then rail and road inland |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Koper or Hamburg |
| Packing | Rolls on core tubes, boards palletised, fixings and tapes listed on the same packing list. |
| Lead time | 4 to 7 working days for stock items. |
Standard items dispatch in 4 to 7 working days. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
Sea freight into Koper or Hamburg, then rail and road inland. Air freight for samples and urgent quantities.

What we will tell you that a reseller will not
-
The wrong product for the problem
Soundproofing fails at the gaps, not the materials. A service penetration, a back to back socket, or a door undercut will undo a correctly built wall. We would rather spend the conversation on the detail than on the product.
-
Square footage quoted before the room is understood
Anyone can price a wall. Working out how much material the room actually needs usually reduces the order, which is why not everyone does it.
-
Suppliers who imply a Austria presence
Ask any supplier where the material is made and who carries the warranty. We make it at Palwal in Haryana and we say so on every page, including this one.
07 / In projects
How it looks once it is installed
Austria: questions we are actually asked
Are these soundproofing materials made in Austria?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Austria as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and routed through Koper or Hamburg, then rail and road inland. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What do you look at first on a Austria enquiry?
Koper is the shorter route from India, Hamburg the more frequent one. Either way there is rail and road after the port, and we build that into the date rather than quoting you a port arrival. Cross laminated and timber frame buildings are light. Light means low frequency passes easily, so the answer is added mass and a resilient break, not more absorption. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Austria climate affect this product?
Austria is cool and damp, with long heating seasons and cold external walls. Cold wall build-ups and long heating seasons mean interstitial condensation is a real risk behind any lining. PET felt is unaffected by damp air and will not feed mould where a fabric-faced mineral product would. The failure we design against here is condensation behind linings in older, poorly insulated stock.
What is the delivery time into Austria?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Koper or Hamburg, then rail and road inland, dispatch: 4 to 7 working days. Standard items dispatch in 4 to 7 working days. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
What will soundproofing materials not do?
Soundproofing fails at the gaps, not the materials. A service penetration, a back to back socket, or a door undercut will undo a correctly built wall. We would rather spend the conversation on the detail than on the product.
What is the minimum order and how is it packed?
Minimum order is confirmed with the quote. Rolls on core tubes, boards palletised, fixings and tapes listed on the same packing list.
Next step
Send a plan and a section, get a real build-up
A plan and a section is enough. We will come back with a build-up, a BOQ and a delivered date, and we will say so if what you are asking for will not work.
