Manufactured in India, supplied in Bali
Soundproof curtains in Bali
We manufacture soundproof curtains at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Bali. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Surabaya or Benoa, then road or inter-island onward to site.

Manufacturer, not reseller. We hold no local approvals and will not imply we do. You get the price the factory quotes, material that matches across a large order, and advice that sometimes talks you out of a purchase.
01 / Start here
What you are buying, and what it fixes in Bali
A layered curtain with a mass loaded vinyl core, used where an opening has to stay an opening. It is the answer for a doorway, a stage, a partition that must move, not a substitute for a wall.
Work reaching us from Bali is mostly resorts and villas, beach clubs and restaurants, spas, offices, guest rooms.
Concrete frame with block infill in cities, timber and light construction outside them. Apartment stock shares walls and slabs that were never detailed for two households.
- Full height with return Curtain taken floor to soffit with a side return and an overlap, because the gap is what leaks, not the fabric.
- Track with a seal Ceiling track plus a floor seal or drape, so the perimeter is closed when it is drawn.
- Double layer at a doorway Two curtains with an air gap where a single layer will not reach the target.
- What it will not do A curtain is only as good as its perimeter. Hung short, hung flat against a frame, or with a gap at the side, it will measure nothing like the figure on the sheet.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for soundproof curtains are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Bali.
02 / Data sheet
The published figures, unchanged by location
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.
- Standard5.5 kg per sq m. Openings, stages, temporary partitions

If a consultant has set the target, we will quote against their figures rather than ours, and stay out of the scope they own. More on working with acoustic consultants.
03 / In this market
What we see driving Bali briefs
- Humidity and salt destroy the wrong material
PET felt does not absorb moisture, rot or feed mould. Mineral products sag here within a single season.
- Buildings that are only partly enclosed
Open pavilions and sliding walls mean there is often no envelope to isolate. The honest answer is treating what is there and telling you what cannot be fixed.
- Beach clubs and neighbours
Late trading venues beside villas and other resorts, where containment of low frequency is what keeps the operation on good terms.
- An onward leg to the island
Material arrives and then continues by road or ferry. Tell us and we pack for the second journey.
- The housing stock
Concrete frame with block infill in cities, timber and light construction outside them. Apartment stock shares walls and slabs that were never detailed for two households.
- The studio and content scene
A large content and music scene works out of rooms in commercial buildings with thin partitions and constant neighbouring activity.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate
Why the climate in Bali changes the material, not the target
Bali is warm and humid through most of the year, with a long wet season, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
Humidity is the deciding factor. PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which is why it outlasts fabric-wrapped mineral wool in this climate. Wood wool and timber need a ventilated cavity behind them.
The risk we design against here is mould, sagging fabric finishes and swelling in timber.
For a Bali interior where the finish leads, we will say plainly what each option costs you acoustically. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Route to site
Supply into Bali, start to site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Surabaya or Benoa, then road to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Surabaya or Benoa |
| Packing | Rolled and bagged with track and fixings listed separately. |
| Lead time | Made to size. Confirmed at quote. |
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 Surabaya or Benoa, then road or ferry onward to site. Air freight for samples.
The same 5 piece minimum applies on export.
| Any size | 5 pieces |

Curtains are made to size, so the minimum is counted in pieces rather than area.
06 / Worth knowing
What we will tell you that a reseller will not
-
The wrong product for the problem
A curtain is only as good as its perimeter. Hung short, hung flat against a frame, or with a gap at the side, it will measure nothing like the figure on the sheet. We quote the detail, not just the fabric.
-
A number chased without a measurement
If nobody has measured the room or set a target, the specification is a guess with a decimal point in it. We will ask for the target before we quote the quantity.
-
Local approvals that nobody actually holds
We hold no Bali certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.
Bali: questions we are actually asked
Are these soundproof curtains made in Bali?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Bali as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Surabaya or Benoa, then road or inter-island onward to site. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What decides the specification for a Bali project?
Open pavilions and sliding walls mean there is often no envelope to isolate. The honest answer is treating what is there and telling you what cannot be fixed. Late trading venues beside villas and other resorts, where containment of low frequency is what keeps the operation on good terms. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Bali climate affect this product?
Bali is warm and humid through most of the year, with a long wet season. Humidity is the deciding factor. PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which is why it outlasts fabric-wrapped mineral wool in this climate. Wood wool and timber need a ventilated cavity behind them. The failure we design against here is mould, sagging fabric finishes and swelling in timber.
What is the delivery time into Bali?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Surabaya or Benoa, then road to site, 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 should you not buy soundproof curtains for?
A curtain is only as good as its perimeter. Hung short, hung flat against a frame, or with a gap at the side, it will measure nothing like the figure on the sheet. We quote the detail, not just the fabric.
Is there a minimum order, and how does it arrive?
The same 5 piece minimum applies on export. Any size, 5 pieces. Curtains are made to size, so the minimum is counted in pieces rather than area. Rolled and bagged with track and fixings listed separately.
