Manufactured in India, supplied in Chennai
Soundproof curtains in Chennai
We manufacture soundproof curtains at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Chennai. Chennai is coastal, hot and industrial, and salt air decides which acoustic materials are still doing their job in five years.

Manufacturer, not reseller. We hold no local approvals and will not imply we do. You get the price the factory quotes, material that matches across a large order, and advice that sometimes talks you out of a purchase.
01 / Start here
What you are buying, and what it fixes in Chennai
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 Chennai is mostly IT corridor offices, automotive plants, recording and dubbing rooms, hospitals, schools, hotels.
RC frame houses and apartments with hard floors, built for heat and humidity with open plan layouts that carry sound room to room.
- 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.

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 Chennai.
02 / Data sheet
The numbers, and they do not move by city
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.

On a Chennai job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.
03 / Local conditions
What we see driving Chennai briefs
- Salt air and humidity
PET felt does not absorb moisture, rot or feed mould. On a coastal site that is the difference between a ceiling that lasts and one that sags in two monsoons.
- Automotive plants
Presses, conveyors and test rooms where the answer is enclosure and mass rather than absorption on a far wall.
- Dubbing and recording rooms
A long established film sound industry, mostly in rooms inside occupied buildings. Isolation first, tuning second.
- Sealed against the heat
Rooms stay closed and conditioned for most of the year, so sound builds up inside instead of leaking away.
- The housing stock
RC frame houses and apartments with hard floors, built for heat and humidity with open plan layouts that carry sound room to room.
- 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
The Chennai climate decides the material list
Chennai 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.
For a Chennai 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 Chennai actually looks like
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | five days |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | five days |
| 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 twenty two hundred kilometres, normally five days 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 / Straight talk
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.
-
Square footage quoted before the room is understood
Anyone can price a wall. Working out how much material the room actually needs usually reduces the order, which is why not everyone does it.

Suppliers who imply a Chennai presence
Ask any supplier where the material is made and who carries the warranty. We make it at Palwal in Haryana and we say so on every page, including this one.
Chennai: questions we are actually asked
Are these soundproof curtains made in Chennai?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Chennai as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Chennai is coastal, hot and industrial, and salt air decides which acoustic materials are still doing their job in five years. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
Why would a Chennai build-up differ from anywhere else?
PET felt does not absorb moisture, rot or feed mould. On a coastal site that is the difference between a ceiling that lasts and one that sags in two monsoons. Presses, conveyors and test rooms where the answer is enclosure and mass rather than absorption on a far wall. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Is this the right material for Chennai conditions?
Chennai 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.
When would material land on a Chennai site?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: five days, 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.
What should you not buy soundproof curtains for?
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 quantity do we have to order, and in what packaging?
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
Drawings in, BOQ and a delivered date out
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.
