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 Dhaka 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 Dhaka is mostly apartments, offices, garment unit admin blocks, hospitals, schools, hotels, studios.
Reinforced concrete frames with brick infill and hard floors. Apartment blocks sit close together with shared walls and open light wells between them.
- 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 Dhaka.
02 / Data sheet
The numbers, and they do not move by city
These figures are published and they do not move. The thing worth arguing about is not the number on the sheet, it is which grade and which build-up suits the room you are treating.

Where a consultant is already engaged on a Dhaka 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 the buildings in Dhaka do to the specification
- Noise arrives from outside
Traffic, generators and construction reach the room through windows and gaps long before they come through the wall. Treat the weakest path, not the biggest surface.
- Generators in every gap
Standby generation sits in courtyards and alleys next to bedrooms and offices. Enclosure at the source is the only thing that works.
- Buildings against buildings
There is often no gap at all between structures, so sound moves between buildings as well as within them.
- A short route from the plant
Sea into Chattogram or overland through the border, which keeps lead times short and consignments flexible.
- The housing stock
Reinforced concrete frames with brick infill and hard floors. Apartment blocks sit close together with shared walls and open light wells between them.
- The studio and content scene
Studios go into apartment rooms and commercial floors with neighbours on every side and generators running during outages.
If you are specifying for a Dhaka project, we can give you a section, a BOQ and the honest limits of each layer. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate and durability
The Dhaka climate decides the material list
Dhaka 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.
Designers get colour, pattern and CNC options with the absorption figure attached to each. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Supply
Getting it to Dhaka, with real dates
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Chattogram or the land border, then road into Dhaka |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea or land border |
| 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. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
Sea freight into Chattogram or overland through the land border, then road into Dhaka. 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.

Four honest warnings before you buy
-
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.
-
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.
-
Suppliers who imply a Dhaka 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.
Dhaka: questions we are actually asked
Do you manufacture soundproof curtains in Dhaka?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Dhaka as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and moved by sea into Chattogram or overland through the land border, then road into the city. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What do you look at first on a Dhaka enquiry?
Traffic, generators and construction reach the room through windows and gaps long before they come through the wall. Treat the weakest path, not the biggest surface. Standby generation sits in courtyards and alleys next to bedrooms and offices. Enclosure at the source is the only thing that works. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Is this the right material for Dhaka conditions?
Dhaka 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.
What is the delivery time into Dhaka?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Chattogram or the land border, then road into Dhaka, 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.
Where do soundproof curtains fail to help?
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.

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.
