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 material, and what it actually does on a Brisbane job
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 Brisbane is mostly timber housing and renovations, apartments, offices, venues, schools, clinics.
Timber frame in detached housing, concrete in apartments. Apartment party walls and slabs are the source of most complaints, and impact noise needs a resilient layer.
- 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 Brisbane.
02 / Data sheet
Published specification, identical wherever we ship it
We publish one data sheet for every market. If a supplier quotes you a different figure for the same product in a different city, one of the two numbers is wrong.

On a Brisbane job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.
03 / On the ground
What decides the build-up in Brisbane
- Subtropical humidity
PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which matters through a humid summer where mineral products sag.
- Houses raised on stumps
A timber floor over open air has almost no mass and nothing below it. Adding mass and closing the underfloor does more than anything applied inside the room.
- Apartments built light and fast
The same separating detail repeated across a development. Worth solving on the drawing rather than after settlement.
- A long sea leg
One of the longer routes we run. Ordering to a real schedule matters, so we quote the full window rather than the port date.
- The housing stock
Timber frame in detached housing, concrete in apartments. Apartment party walls and slabs are the source of most complaints, and impact noise needs a resilient layer.
- The studio and content scene
Home and project studios go into garages and converted rooms in detached housing, where the neighbour distance helps but the room does not.
For a Brisbane practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
04 / Durability
The Brisbane climate decides the material list
Brisbane is hot summers, mild winters and a distinct wet season, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
PET felt handles the wet months without absorbing moisture or feeding mould. Timber and wood wool want a ventilated cavity and a stable indoor RH.
The risk we design against here is wet-season humidity behind linings.
For a Brisbane interior where the finish leads, we will say plainly what each option costs you acoustically. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Supply
What the route into Brisbane actually looks like
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Port of Brisbane, then a short road run to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Port of Brisbane |
| 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. 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 the Port of Brisbane, then a short road run to site. Air freight for samples and urgent quantities.
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
The things worth knowing before you place the order
-
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.
-
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 Brisbane certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.
Brisbane: questions we are actually asked
Where are the soundproof curtains you supply to Brisbane actually made?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Brisbane as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into the Port of Brisbane. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What decides the specification for a Brisbane project?
A timber floor over open air has almost no mass and nothing below it. Adding mass and closing the underfloor does more than anything applied inside the room. PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which matters through a humid summer where mineral products sag. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Does Brisbane weather shorten the life of this material?
Brisbane is hot summers, mild winters and a distinct wet season. PET felt handles the wet months without absorbing moisture or feeding mould. Timber and wood wool want a ventilated cavity and a stable indoor RH. The failure we design against here is wet-season humidity behind linings.
When would material land on a Brisbane site?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Port of Brisbane, then a short road run to site, 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.
When are soundproof curtains the wrong purchase?
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.
What is the minimum order and how is it packed?
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.
Next step
Send the drawings, get a straight answer
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.
