Soundproof curtains in Chandigarh
We manufacture soundproof curtains at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Chandigarh. Chandigarh was built in exposed concrete on purpose, and exposed concrete reflects almost everything that hits it.

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 / The material
What this material is and where it earns its place in Chandigarh
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 Chandigarh is mostly institutional and government buildings, colleges, offices, auditoriums, clinics, hotels.
Planned sector housing in RC frame with stone and tile floors, in low rise blocks that share walls between units.
- 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 Chandigarh.
02 / The numbers
One specification sheet, the same in every market
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.

Where a consultant is already engaged on a Chandigarh project, we supply to their specification and send the test reports rather than describing them. More on working with acoustic consultants.
03 / On the ground
What decides the build-up in Chandigarh
- Concrete is the finish
Exposed board-marked concrete cannot be covered without losing the building. Absorption has to go on the ceiling plane or high on the wall, discreetly.
- Generous volumes
Rooms here are larger and taller than equivalents elsewhere, which lengthens reverberation and defeats speech.
- Planned, low rise, quiet outside
External noise is rarely the issue. What comes to us is the room itself and noise between rooms.
- Next day from the plant
A few hours by road, so samples and replacements are straightforward.
- The housing stock
Planned sector housing in RC frame with stone and tile floors, in low rise blocks that share walls between units.
- 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.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Conditions
Durability in Chandigarh, before acoustics is discussed
Chandigarh 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 Chandigarh interior where the finish leads, we will say plainly what each option costs you acoustically. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Getting it there
What the route into Chandigarh actually looks like
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | a day |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | a day |
| Packing | Rolled and bagged with track and fixings listed separately. |
| Lead time | Made to size. Confirmed at quote. |
Standard items dispatch in 2 to 4 working days from our plant at Palwal. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
By road from Palwal, roughly three hundred kilometres, normally next day on a dedicated truck.
5 curtains.
| Any size | 5 pieces |

Curtains are made to size, so the minimum is counted in pieces rather than area.
06 / Read this first
Where this goes wrong, said plainly
-
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 Chandigarh certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.
Chandigarh: questions we are actually asked
Is there a Chandigarh 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 Chandigarh as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Chandigarh was built in exposed concrete on purpose, and exposed concrete reflects almost everything that hits it. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What changes the specification on a Chandigarh job?
Exposed board-marked concrete cannot be covered without losing the building. Absorption has to go on the ceiling plane or high on the wall, discreetly. Rooms here are larger and taller than equivalents elsewhere, which lengthens reverberation and defeats speech. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Is this the right material for Chandigarh conditions?
Chandigarh 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 Chandigarh site?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: a day, dispatch: 2 to 4 working days. Standard items dispatch in 2 to 4 working days from our plant at Palwal. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
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.
How is the order packed and what is the minimum?
5 curtains. 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
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.
