Manufactured in India, supplied in Bali
Soundproofing materials in Bali
We manufacture soundproofing materials 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.

- Made at our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, India
- One batch across the order, no blending between runs
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 / Start here
The product, described honestly, for a Bali brief
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 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.
- 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 Bali.

02 / Specification sheet
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.
- 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

On a Bali job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.
03 / In this market
What decides the build-up in Bali
- 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.
- 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.
- An onward leg to the island
Material arrives and then continues by road or ferry. Tell us and we pack for the second journey.
- Plant and HVAC
Split units everywhere, with condensers on balconies and light wells that channel noise straight back into bedrooms.
- 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.
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 / Supply
Getting it to Bali, with real dates
| 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 | 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 Surabaya or Benoa, then road or ferry onward to site. Air freight for samples.
06 / Before you buy
Four honest warnings before you buy
-
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.
-
Coverage bought instead of a target
Lining every surface is a purchase, not a result. We would rather calculate the area against a reverberation target and sell you less of it.
-
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
Is there a Bali 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 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 changes the specification on a Bali job?
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.
Will this material last in the Bali climate?
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.
When are soundproofing materials the wrong purchase?
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.
Is there a minimum order, and how does it arrive?
Minimum order is confirmed with the quote. Rolls on core tubes, boards palletised, fixings and tapes listed on the same packing list.

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.
