Manufactured in India, supplied in China
Soundproofing materials in China
We manufacture soundproofing materials at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into China. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Shanghai, Ningbo or Shenzhen.

- Made at our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, India
- One batch across the order, no blending between runs
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 / The material
What this material is and where it earns its place in China
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 China is mostly specification-led projects, international hotel and office fit-out, studios, showrooms.
Reinforced concrete towers with block infill and hard floors. Mass is good, impact noise through the slab and between flats is the complaint.
- 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 China.

02 / The numbers
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

Consultants get the raw data, not a sales sheet. That is the whole of our side of the job, and it is set out under working with acoustic consultants.
03 / Local conditions
What the buildings in China do to the specification
- We are not the default here
Domestic supply is abundant and competitive. We are worth importing when the specification, the colour consistency or the supply chain is the reason, not the price.
- Concrete towers, hard interiors
The structure blocks well, so the recurring problems are live rooms and impact passing down through slabs.
- Colour across a large order
Where a single project runs across many floors, batch to batch consistency is usually the reason people come to a single manufacturer.
- Well served ports
Shanghai, Ningbo and Shenzhen all run frequently from India, so routing is straightforward.
- Plant and HVAC
Central plant, VRF and split units, with risers and duct runs carrying noise between floors.
- The housing stock
Reinforced concrete towers with block infill and hard floors. Mass is good, impact noise through the slab and between flats is the complaint.
If you are specifying for a China project, we can give you a section, a BOQ and the honest limits of each layer. See how we support architects.
04 / Durability
Why the climate in China changes the material, not the target
China 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.
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 / Route to site
How material reaches a China site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Shanghai, Ningbo or Shenzhen, then road to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Shanghai or Ningbo |
| 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 Shanghai, Ningbo or Shenzhen, then road to site. Air freight for samples and urgent quantities.
06 / Before you buy
What we will tell you that a reseller will not
-
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.
-
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 China 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.

China: questions we are actually asked
Do you manufacture soundproofing materials in China?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into China as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Shanghai, Ningbo or Shenzhen. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What do you look at first on a China enquiry?
Domestic supply is abundant and competitive. We are worth importing when the specification, the colour consistency or the supply chain is the reason, not the price. The structure blocks well, so the recurring problems are live rooms and impact passing down through slabs. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Will this material last in the China climate?
China 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.
How does an order actually travel to China?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Shanghai, Ningbo or Shenzhen, 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.
When are soundproofing materials the wrong purchase?
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.
What quantity do we have to order, and in what packaging?
Minimum order is confirmed with the quote. Rolls on core tubes, boards palletised, fixings and tapes listed on the same packing list.
