Manufactured in India, supplied in Bangkok
Soundproofing materials in Bangkok
We manufacture soundproofing materials at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Bangkok. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Laem Chabang, roughly two hours from the city by road.

- Principle
- Mass, then decoupling, then cavity absorption, then sealing

- ASTM E90 for the barrier, ASTM C423 for the absorber
- Made at our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, India
- 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 / Start here
What this material is and where it earns its place in Bangkok
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 Bangkok is mostly condo towers, hotels and lounges, offices, restaurants, clinics, studios.
Concrete frame with block infill and hard tile floors throughout. Condominium party walls and slabs pass impact noise directly.
- 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 Bangkok.

02 / Data sheet
Published specification, identical wherever we ship it
Nothing below changes by location. The decisions that do change are grade, thickness and how the material is mounted, and those are covered further down.

- Standard partition4 mm membrane on an independent leaf. The common specification
- Heavy6 mm membrane and full decoupling. Plant, machine enclosure, low frequency

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 the buildings in Bangkok do to the specification
- Elevated rail and traffic
Trains and traffic close to facades put noise in through glazing, not through the wall. Fix the window path first.
- Concrete towers, live interiors
The structure blocks a lot already. The problem is tile, glass and stone inside making the room ring, and that is a treatment job.
- Impact through slabs
Hard flooring over concrete passes footfall straight down. A resilient underlay before the finish is the fix.
- Heat and humidity all year
Our PET felt does not hold moisture or feed mould, which matters where mineral products sag in a tropical climate.
- Plant and HVAC
Split units and VRF with condensers on balconies and in light wells, running at full load most of the year.
- The housing stock
Concrete frame with block infill and hard tile floors throughout. Condominium party walls and slabs pass impact noise directly.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Durability
Why the climate in Bangkok changes the material, not the target
Bangkok 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.
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
What the route into Bangkok actually looks like
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Laem Chabang, then a short road run into Bangkok |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Laem Chabang |
| 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.

06 / Worth knowing
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.
-
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 Bangkok certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.

Bangkok: questions we are actually asked
Is there a Bangkok 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 Bangkok as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Laem Chabang, roughly two hours from the city by road. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What decides the specification for a Bangkok project?
The structure blocks a lot already. The problem is tile, glass and stone inside making the room ring, and that is a treatment job. Trains and traffic close to facades put noise in through glazing, not through the wall. Fix the window path first. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Bangkok climate affect this product?
Bangkok 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.
How does an order actually travel to Bangkok?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Laem Chabang, then a short road run into Bangkok, 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.
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.
