Manufactured in India, supplied in Ghana
Soundproof curtains in Ghana
We manufacture soundproof curtains at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Ghana. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Tema, which sits next to Accra, so the road leg for most work is short.

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 product
What this material is and where it earns its place in Ghana
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 Ghana is mostly offices, hotels, places of assembly, schools, hospitals, apartments, studios.
Concrete and block construction with hard floors, in compounds and estates where units sit close together.
- 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 Ghana.
02 / Specification
The published figures, unchanged by location
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.

On a Ghana job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.
03 / On the ground
What we see driving Ghana briefs
- Generators run regularly
Standby generation sits close to occupied space in most commercial buildings. Enclosure at the source is what works, not absorption on a wall.
- New concrete construction
Walls carry mass, so the recurring problem is hard, live interiors rather than sound passing between rooms.
- Large assembly spaces
Halls and places of assembly used by big congregations, where intelligibility fails long before anyone calls the room echoey.
- Tema is next to the market
The port sits beside Accra, so most deliveries have almost no inland leg.
- The housing stock
Concrete and block construction with hard floors, in compounds and estates where units sit close together.
- The studio and content scene
A strong music and content scene working inside converted rooms with generators nearby.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Conditions
Durability in Ghana, before acoustics is discussed
Ghana 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.
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 / Getting it there
Supply into Ghana, start to site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Tema, next to Accra, then a short road run to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Tema |
| 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 Tema, then a short road run 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
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.
-
A claim of being local to Ghana
We manufacture in India and supply here. We do not run an office in this city and we will not pretend to, because you would find out on the first site visit.
Ghana: questions we are actually asked
Are these soundproof curtains made in Ghana?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Ghana as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Tema, which sits next to Accra, so the road leg for most work is short. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What decides the specification for a Ghana project?
Standby generation sits close to occupied space in most commercial buildings. Enclosure at the source is what works, not absorption on a wall. Walls carry mass, so the recurring problem is hard, live interiors rather than sound passing between rooms. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Is this the right material for Ghana conditions?
Ghana 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.
How does an order actually travel to Ghana?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Tema, next to Accra, then a short road run 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.
