We are the manufacturer. There is no local office and we do not claim approvals we do not hold. What you get is factory pricing, one consistent batch across the order, and a straight answer on what the material will and will not do.
01 / What it is
The product, described honestly, for a Azerbaijan brief
A limp, high density sheet that adds mass to a partition, floor or duct without adding depth. It is the barrier product, not an absorber, and it is the right answer when the problem is noise passing through a structure.
Work reaching us from Azerbaijan is mostly corporate and energy sector offices, hotels, apartment towers, hospitals, schools, venues.
Soviet era panel blocks and newer concrete towers, both with hard floors and slabs that pass impact noise.
- Wall, decoupled Independent stud, membrane between the boards, cavity absorption, two boards. The membrane is one part of a system, never the whole answer.
- Floor, floating Membrane under a resilient layer and a floating deck, so impact energy is broken before it reaches the slab.
- Duct and plant wrap Membrane wrapped over the duct with a decoupling layer beneath, sealed at every lap.
- What it will not do Mass fixed hard to an existing wall gives far less than the same mass on an independent leaf. If we are told the wall cannot be thickened, we will say what the membrane will and will not achieve rather than quote the laboratory figure and let the site find out.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for SoundBlanket MLV are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Azerbaijan.
02 / The numbers
One specification sheet, the same in every market
These figures are published and they do not move. The thing worth arguing about is not the number on the sheet, it is which grade and which build-up suits the room you are treating.
- 2.5 mmSTC 30, 5.25 kg per sq m. Ducts, light partitions, retrofit where depth is tight
- 4 mmSTC 34, 8.4 kg per sq m. Party walls, floors, plant rooms, the common specification
- 6 mm12.6 kg per sq m. Machine enclosures and low frequency problems
| Density | 2100 kg per cubic metre |
|---|---|
| 2.5 mm | STC 30, 5.25 kg per sq m |
| 4 mm | STC 34, 8.4 kg per sq m |
| 6 mm | 12.6 kg per sq m, STC on request |
| Roll size | 5 x 1.2 m, 6 sq m per roll |
| Form | Limp sheet, cuts with a knife, seams lapped and sealed |
Consultants get the raw data, not a sales sheet. That is the whole of our side of the job, and it is set out under working with acoustic consultants.
03 / Local conditions
What the buildings in Azerbaijan do to the specification
- A route with several legs
Sea to the Black Sea, then road across a border. We quote each leg separately so the programme is built on real dates rather than a port arrival.
- Packing has to survive the run
A long overland leg on mixed surfaces is hard on a pallet. We brace and wrap for that rather than for a short port transfer.
- Energy sector offices
Corporate floors and operations centres where speech privacy is a requirement rather than a comfort.
- Wind and sealed buildings
Baku buildings stay closed against the wind, so mechanical noise accumulates inside instead of escaping.
- The housing stock
Soviet era panel blocks and newer concrete towers, both with hard floors and slabs that pass impact noise.
- The studio and content scene
A small broadcast and music sector working in rooms inside existing buildings.
Architects working in Azerbaijan 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 / Conditions
Durability in Azerbaijan, before acoustics is discussed
Azerbaijan is mild summers and cold, wet winters, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
Cold external walls and long heating seasons make condensation behind a lining the thing to design out. PET felt is unaffected by damp air.
The risk we design against here is condensation and cold bridging behind new linings.
Designers get colour, pattern and CNC options with the absorption figure attached to each. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Route to site
How material reaches a Azerbaijan site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Poti, then road across Georgia into Azerbaijan |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Poti, then road |
| Packing | Rolls on core tubes, wrapped and end capped, 5 x 1.2 m. Weights on the packing list, because a full roll is heavy and site access matters. |
| Lead time | 4 to 7 working days. Full container quantities scheduled against the vessel. |
Standard items dispatch in 4 to 7 working days. The sea leg from India is long, so plan the full door to door window into the programme. We give real dates, not optimistic ones.
Sea freight into Poti, then road across Georgia into Azerbaijan. Air freight for samples and urgent quantities.
The same minimums apply on export as on domestic orders.
| 2.5 mm and 4 mm | 10 rolls, 60 sq m |
|---|---|
| 6 mm and other thicknesses | 10 tonnes per thickness |
A SoundBlanket roll is 5 x 1.2 m, which is 6 sq m. At 2100 kg per cubic metre a roll weighs about 31.5 kg at 2.5 mm and about 50.4 kg at 4 mm, so a 10 roll minimum is 60 sq m and roughly 315 kg at 2.5 mm or 504 kg at 4 mm.
06 / Straight talk
What we will tell you that a reseller will not
-
The wrong product for the problem
Mass fixed hard to an existing wall gives far less than the same mass on an independent leaf. If we are told the wall cannot be thickened, we will say what the membrane will and will not achieve rather than quote the laboratory figure and let the site find out.
-
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.
-
Local approvals that nobody actually holds
We hold no Azerbaijan certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.
Azerbaijan: questions we are actually asked
Is there a Azerbaijan factory behind this product?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Azerbaijan as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Poti on the Black Sea, then road across Georgia into Azerbaijan. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What do you look at first on a Azerbaijan enquiry?
Sea to the Black Sea, then road across a border. We quote each leg separately so the programme is built on real dates rather than a port arrival. A long overland leg on mixed surfaces is hard on a pallet. We brace and wrap for that rather than for a short port transfer. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Azerbaijan climate affect this product?
Azerbaijan is mild summers and cold, wet winters. Cold external walls and long heating seasons make condensation behind a lining the thing to design out. PET felt is unaffected by damp air. The failure we design against here is condensation and cold bridging behind new linings.
When would material land on a Azerbaijan site?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Poti, then road across Georgia into Azerbaijan, dispatch: 4 to 7 working days. Standard items dispatch in 4 to 7 working days. The sea leg from India is long, so plan the full door to door window into the programme. We give real dates, not optimistic ones.
What should you not buy soundBlanket mass loaded vinyl for?
Mass fixed hard to an existing wall gives far less than the same mass on an independent leaf. If we are told the wall cannot be thickened, we will say what the membrane will and will not achieve rather than quote the laboratory figure and let the site find out.
Is there a minimum order, and how does it arrive?
The same minimums apply on export as on domestic orders. 2.5 mm and 4 mm, 10 rolls, 60 sq m. 6 mm and other thicknesses, 10 tonnes per thickness. A SoundBlanket roll is 5 x 1.2 m, which is 6 sq m. At 2100 kg per cubic metre a roll weighs about 31.5 kg at 2.5 mm and about 50.4 kg at 4 mm, so a 10 roll minimum is 60 sq m and roughly 315 kg at 2.5 mm or 504 kg at 4 mm. Rolls on core tubes, wrapped and end capped, 5 x 1.2 m. Weights on the packing list, because a full roll is heavy and site access matters.
Next step
Tell us the room, we will tell you the build-up
We quote from drawings, not from a square foot rate. Send a plan and the section through the critical wall or ceiling and you will get something you can actually build from.
