This comes from our own plant, not a trading desk. We do not have an office in your city and we will not invent one. What we can give you is factory pricing, consistent material and a technical answer before you commit.
01 / What it is
The product, described honestly, for a Bhiwadi 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 Bhiwadi is mostly hotels and fit-out, towers and apartments, retail and malls, offices, clinics, studios.
Stone and RC construction with stone floors throughout, in a dry dusty climate where dust ingress matters more than damp.
- 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 Bhiwadi.
02 / Specification

Where a consultant is already engaged on a Bhiwadi 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 Bhiwadi do to the specification
- A short sea leg from India
Western Indian ports to Jebel Ali is one of the quickest runs we operate, which is why a factory abroad can still hold a Bhiwadi programme date.
- A professional fit-out market
Contractors here compare products line by line and expect documentation with the quote. That suits a manufacturer who can answer for what is in the material.
- Sealed against the heat
Buildings stay closed with heavy cooling running all year, so mechanical noise accumulates and rooms stay live.
- Impact through slabs
Hard flooring over concrete passes footfall straight down between apartments. The underlay goes in before the finish, not after the complaint.
- The housing stock
Stone and RC construction with stone floors throughout, in a dry dusty climate where dust ingress matters more than damp.
- The studio and content scene
Studios go into basements, terrace rooms and back rooms with neighbours on every side and a generator somewhere in the lane. Isolating from the building has to come before treating the room.
For a Bhiwadi practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
04 / Durability
What the Bhiwadi climate rules in and rules out
Bhiwadi is hot and dry for most of the year, with dust and high daytime surface temperatures, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
Dust is the enemy of open-cell products. PET felt does not shed, does not hold dust in the way fabric-wrapped glass wool does, and wipes down. Timber needs a stable indoor RH or it moves.
The risk we design against here is dust ingress and thermal movement in long runs.
Designers get colour, pattern and CNC options with the absorption figure attached to each. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Logistics
Getting it to Bhiwadi, with real dates
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Jebel Ali, then road to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Jebel Ali |
| 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. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
Sea freight into Jebel Ali, then road to site. The short transit means sea works for most programmes. Air freight for samples and urgent quantities.
10 rolls for 2.5 mm and 4 mm. Other thicknesses are made to order at 10 tonnes per thickness.
| 2.5 mm | 10 rolls, 60 sq m, about 315 kg |
|---|---|
| 4 mm | 10 rolls, 60 sq m, about 504 kg |
| 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
Where this goes wrong, said plainly
-
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.
-
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 Bhiwadi certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.
Bhiwadi: questions we are actually asked
Is there a Bhiwadi 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 Bhiwadi as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Jebel Ali. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What decides the specification for a Bhiwadi project?
Western Indian ports to Jebel Ali is one of the quickest runs we operate, which is why a factory abroad can still hold a Bhiwadi programme date. Contractors here compare products line by line and expect documentation with the quote. That suits a manufacturer who can answer for what is in the material. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Bhiwadi climate affect this product?
Bhiwadi is hot and dry for most of the year, with dust and high daytime surface temperatures. Dust is the enemy of open-cell products. PET felt does not shed, does not hold dust in the way fabric-wrapped glass wool does, and wipes down. Timber needs a stable indoor RH or it moves. The failure we design against here is dust ingress and thermal movement in long runs.
How quickly can material reach a site in Bhiwadi?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Jebel Ali, 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 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.
What is the minimum order and how is it packed?
10 rolls for 2.5 mm and 4 mm. Other thicknesses are made to order at 10 tonnes per thickness. 2.5 mm, 10 rolls, 60 sq m, about 315 kg. 4 mm, 10 rolls, 60 sq m, about 504 kg. 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.
