Manufactured in India, supplied in Georgia
SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl in Georgia
We manufacture soundBlanket mass loaded vinyl at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Georgia. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Poti or Batumi on the Black Sea, then a short road run inland.

01 / The material
What this material is and where it earns its place in Georgia
A limp, high density sheet that adds mass to a partition, floor or duct without adding depth. It is the barrier product, not an absorber, and it is the right answer when the problem is noise passing through a structure.
Work reaching us from Georgia is mostly coastal hotels, Tbilisi restoration and conversions, offices, restaurants, schools, clinics.
Soviet era blocks and older masonry buildings with timber floors, plus new concrete towers with hard finishes.
- Wall, decoupled Independent stud, membrane between the boards, cavity absorption, two boards. The membrane is one part of a system, never the whole answer.
- Floor, floating Membrane under a resilient layer and a floating deck, so impact energy is broken before it reaches the slab.
- Duct and plant wrap Membrane wrapped over the duct with a decoupling layer beneath, sealed at every lap.
- What it will not do Mass fixed hard to an existing wall gives far less than the same mass on an independent leaf. If we are told the wall cannot be thickened, we will say what the membrane will and will not achieve rather than quote the laboratory figure and let the site find out.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for SoundBlanket MLV are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Georgia.
02 / Specification
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.
- 2.5 mmSTC 30, 5.25 kg per sq m. Ducts, light partitions, retrofit where depth is tight
- 4 mmSTC 34, 8.4 kg per sq m. Party walls, floors, plant rooms, the common specification
- 6 mm12.6 kg per sq m. Machine enclosures and low frequency problems

On a Georgia job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.
03 / Local conditions
The Georgia conditions that change the answer
- Two markets, two answers
New coastal hotels are built and can be designed properly. Tbilisi conversions keep the original structure and need shallow internal work.
- Soviet era panel housing
Prefabricated blocks pass speech and footfall between flats through thin connected elements. Mass and decoupling, not surface treatment.
- Seismic detailing
Movement joints have to stay free, so an acoustic layer must not stiffen across them.
- Black Sea ports are close to the market
Poti and Batumi are both a short run from the main centres, which keeps the inland cost low.
- The housing stock
Soviet era blocks and older masonry buildings with timber floors, plus new concrete towers with hard finishes.
- The studio and content scene
A growing film and music sector using converted buildings with good mass and hard surfaces.
If you are specifying for a Georgia 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
Durability in Georgia, before acoustics is discussed
Georgia is mild summers and cold, wet winters, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
Cold external walls and long heating seasons make condensation behind a lining the thing to design out. PET felt is unaffected by damp air.
The risk we design against here is condensation and cold bridging behind new linings.
For a Georgia interior where the finish leads, we will say plainly what each option costs you acoustically. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Supply
Getting it to Georgia, with real dates
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Poti or Batumi, then road inland |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Poti or Batumi |
| Packing | Rolls on core tubes, wrapped and end capped, 5 x 1.2 m. Weights on the packing list, because a full roll is heavy and site access matters. |
| Lead time | 4 to 7 working days. Full container quantities scheduled against the vessel. |
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 Poti or Batumi, then road inland. Air freight for samples and urgent quantities.
The same minimums apply on export as on domestic orders.
| 2.5 mm and 4 mm | 10 rolls, 60 sq m |
|---|---|
| 6 mm and other thicknesses | 10 tonnes per thickness |
A SoundBlanket roll is 5 x 1.2 m, which is 6 sq m. At 2100 kg per cubic metre a roll weighs about 31.5 kg at 2.5 mm and about 50.4 kg at 4 mm, so a 10 roll minimum is 60 sq m and roughly 315 kg at 2.5 mm or 504 kg at 4 mm.
06 / Worth knowing
What we will tell you that a reseller will not
-
The wrong product for the problem
Mass fixed hard to an existing wall gives far less than the same mass on an independent leaf. If we are told the wall cannot be thickened, we will say what the membrane will and will not achieve rather than quote the laboratory figure and let the site find out.
-
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 Georgia 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.
Georgia: questions we are actually asked
Are these soundBlanket mass loaded vinyl made in Georgia?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Georgia as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Poti or Batumi on the Black Sea, then a short road run inland. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
Why would a Georgia build-up differ from anywhere else?
New coastal hotels are built and can be designed properly. Tbilisi conversions keep the original structure and need shallow internal work. Prefabricated blocks pass speech and footfall between flats through thin connected elements. Mass and decoupling, not surface treatment. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Does Georgia weather shorten the life of this material?
Georgia is mild summers and cold, wet winters. Cold external walls and long heating seasons make condensation behind a lining the thing to design out. PET felt is unaffected by damp air. The failure we design against here is condensation and cold bridging behind new linings.
How quickly can material reach a site in Georgia?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Poti or Batumi, then road inland, 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 soundBlanket mass loaded vinyl not do?
Mass fixed hard to an existing wall gives far less than the same mass on an independent leaf. If we are told the wall cannot be thickened, we will say what the membrane will and will not achieve rather than quote the laboratory figure and let the site find out.
What is the minimum order and how is it packed?
The same minimums apply on export as on domestic orders. 2.5 mm and 4 mm, 10 rolls, 60 sq m. 6 mm and other thicknesses, 10 tonnes per thickness. A SoundBlanket roll is 5 x 1.2 m, which is 6 sq m. At 2100 kg per cubic metre a roll weighs about 31.5 kg at 2.5 mm and about 50.4 kg at 4 mm, so a 10 roll minimum is 60 sq m and roughly 315 kg at 2.5 mm or 504 kg at 4 mm. Rolls on core tubes, wrapped and end capped, 5 x 1.2 m. Weights on the packing list, because a full roll is heavy and site access matters.
