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
The product, described honestly, for a Egypt brief
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 Egypt is mostly new development and government buildings, hotels and resorts, offices, hospitals, schools, venues.
Reinforced concrete frames with block infill and hard tile floors, in blocks that sit close together with narrow 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 Egypt.
02 / Specification sheet
Published specification, identical wherever we ship it
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.

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 / In this market
What decides the build-up in Egypt
- Convenient sailings
Our routes to Europe already pass this way, which keeps frequency good and freight competitive.
- Development at scale
Very large single orders where the same detail repeats across many buildings. Batch consistency matters more than the figure on one sheet.
- Heat, dust and sealed buildings
Closed up with heavy cooling, so plant noise accumulates inside and rooms stay hard and live.
- Assembly and function spaces
Large halls in concrete and stone where speech stops being intelligible well before the room sounds wrong.
- The housing stock
Reinforced concrete frames with block infill and hard tile floors, in blocks that sit close together with narrow light wells between them.
- The studio and content scene
A large and long established film and music industry working in rooms that were never built for it.
For a Egypt practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate
The Egypt climate decides the material list
Egypt 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 / Supply
How material reaches a Egypt site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Alexandria, Port Said or Sokhna, then road to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Alexandria or Port Said |
| 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 Alexandria, Port Said or Sokhna, then road to site. 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
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.

Suppliers who imply a Egypt 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.
Egypt: questions we are actually asked
Is there a Egypt 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 Egypt as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Alexandria, Port Said or Sokhna. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What do you look at first on a Egypt enquiry?
Our routes to Europe already pass this way, which keeps frequency good and freight competitive. Very large single orders where the same detail repeats across many buildings. Batch consistency matters more than the figure on one sheet. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Is this the right material for Egypt conditions?
Egypt 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.
What is the delivery time into Egypt?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Alexandria, Port Said or Sokhna, 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 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.
Is there a minimum order, and how does it arrive?
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.
Next step
Tell us the room, we will tell you the build-up
We quote from drawings, not from a square foot rate. Send a plan and the section through the critical wall or ceiling and you will get something you can actually build from.
