01 / Start here
What this is, and what it changes in a Dubai room
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 Dubai is mostly hotels and fit-out, towers and apartments, retail and malls, offices, clinics, studios.
Towers and villas are concrete and block with stone or porcelain floors throughout. Mass is not the problem, impact noise and live rooms are.
- 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 Dubai.
02 / The numbers
Published specification, identical wherever we ship it
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 Dubai job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.
03 / Local conditions
What decides the build-up in Dubai
- A short sea leg from India
Western Indian ports to Jebel Ali is one of the quickest runs we operate, which is why a factory abroad can still hold a Dubai programme date.
- A professional fit-out market
Contractors here compare products line by line and expect documentation with the quote. That suits a manufacturer who can answer for what is in the material.
- Sealed against the heat
Buildings stay closed with heavy cooling running all year, so mechanical noise accumulates and rooms stay live.
- Impact through slabs
Hard flooring over concrete passes footfall straight down between apartments. The underlay goes in before the finish, not after the complaint.
- The housing stock
Towers and villas are concrete and block with stone or porcelain floors throughout. Mass is not the problem, impact noise and live rooms are.
- The studio and content scene
Production rooms are fitted inside existing office and warehouse shells. Plant noise and neighbouring tenancies set the achievable noise floor.
If you are specifying for a Dubai project, we can give you a section, a BOQ and the honest limits of each layer. See how we support architects.
04 / Conditions
Why the climate in Dubai changes the material, not the target
Dubai is hot and dry for most of the year, with dust and high daytime surface temperatures, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
Dust is the enemy of open-cell products. PET felt does not shed, does not hold dust in the way fabric-wrapped glass wool does, and wipes down. Timber needs a stable indoor RH or it moves.
The risk we design against here is dust ingress and thermal movement in long runs.
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 Dubai site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Jebel Ali, then road to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Jebel Ali |
| 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 Jebel Ali, then road to site. The short transit means sea works for most programmes. 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.
06 / Worth knowing
What we will tell you that a reseller will not
-
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 Dubai 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.
Dubai: questions we are actually asked
Is there a Dubai 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 Dubai as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Jebel Ali. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
Why would a Dubai build-up differ from anywhere else?
Western Indian ports to Jebel Ali is one of the quickest runs we operate, which is why a factory abroad can still hold a Dubai programme date. Contractors here compare products line by line and expect documentation with the quote. That suits a manufacturer who can answer for what is in the material. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Is this the right material for Dubai conditions?
Dubai is hot and dry for most of the year, with dust and high daytime surface temperatures. Dust is the enemy of open-cell products. PET felt does not shed, does not hold dust in the way fabric-wrapped glass wool does, and wipes down. Timber needs a stable indoor RH or it moves. The failure we design against here is dust ingress and thermal movement in long runs.
When would material land on a Dubai site?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Jebel Ali, 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 will soundproof curtains 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. 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.
