Manufactured in India, supplied in Cambodia
Soundproofing materials in Cambodia
We manufacture soundproofing materials at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Cambodia. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Sihanoukville, then road to Phnom Penh or Siem Reap.

- 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 / The product
What this is, and what it changes in a Cambodia room
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 Cambodia is mostly garment and manufacturing units, hotels, offices, schools, hospitals, restaurants.
Concrete frame with block infill, shophouses and new condominium towers, all with hard floors and shared walls.
- 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 Cambodia.

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.
- 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 Cambodia job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.
03 / In this market
The Cambodia conditions that change the answer
- Generators are part of the building
Standby generation runs often enough to be a permanent condition and sits close to occupied space. Enclosure at the source is the only real fix.
- Garment floors at scale
Large production halls with continuous machine noise and rooms where instructions and alarms must be understood.
- Tropical humidity
PET felt does not hold moisture or feed mould, which decides whether a ceiling survives more than a couple of seasons.
- Hospitality in heritage towns
Hotel work where guest room isolation and function room acoustics are the recurring briefs.
- Plant and HVAC
Split units with condensers on facades and in narrow gaps between buildings.
- The housing stock
Concrete frame with block infill, shophouses and new condominium towers, all with hard floors and shared walls.
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 Cambodia changes the material, not the target
Cambodia 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.
If the visual is fixed and the room still has to perform, that is a solvable problem and a conversation worth having early. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Logistics
How material reaches a Cambodia site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Sihanoukville, then road to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Sihanoukville |
| 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 Sihanoukville, then road to site. Air freight for samples and urgent quantities.

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.
-
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.
-
A claim of being local to Cambodia
We manufacture in India and supply here. We do not run an office in this city and we will not pretend to, because you would find out on the first site visit.

The material in real interiors
Cambodia: questions we are actually asked
Is there a Cambodia 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 Cambodia as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Sihanoukville, then road to Phnom Penh or Siem Reap. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What changes the specification on a Cambodia job?
Standby generation runs often enough to be a permanent condition and sits close to occupied space. Enclosure at the source is the only real fix. Large production halls with continuous machine noise and rooms where instructions and alarms must be understood. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Cambodia climate affect this product?
Cambodia 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 quickly can material reach a site in Cambodia?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Sihanoukville, 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 soundproofing materials for?
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.
How is the order packed and what is the minimum?
Minimum order is confirmed with the quote. Rolls on core tubes, boards palletised, fixings and tapes listed on the same packing list.
Next step
Tell us the room, we will tell you the build-up
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.
