Manufactured in India, supplied in Goa
SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl in Goa
We manufacture soundBlanket mass loaded vinyl at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Goa. Goa is hospitality, coastal damp and a licensing conversation about how loud a venue can be after dark.

This comes from our own plant, not a trading desk. We do not have an office in your city and we will not invent one. What we can give you is factory pricing, consistent material and a technical answer before you commit.
01 / The product
What you are buying, and what it fixes in Goa
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 Goa is mostly resorts and hotels, beach clubs and restaurants, villas, guest rooms, clinics, offices.
Villas, apartments and older Portuguese era houses with tile and stone floors, in a humid coastal climate with heavy monsoon.
- 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 Goa.
02 / Specification
Published specification, identical wherever we ship it
The specification below is the same everywhere we supply, because a specification that changed by city would not be a specification. What changes is which grade and build-up is the right buy, and that is what the rest of this page is about.
- 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
| Density | 2100 kg per cubic metre |
|---|---|
| 2.5 mm | STC 30, 5.25 kg per sq m |
| 4 mm | STC 34, 8.4 kg per sq m |
| 6 mm | 12.6 kg per sq m, STC on request |
| Roll size | 5 x 1.2 m, 6 sq m per roll |
| Form | Limp sheet, cuts with a knife, seams lapped and sealed |
If a consultant has set the target, we will quote against their figures rather than ours, and stay out of the scope they own. More on working with acoustic consultants.
03 / On the ground
What the buildings in Goa do to the specification
- Loud inside, quiet at the boundary
A club or beach venue has to hold its energy and keep it off the neighbours after hours. That is containment, and it decides whether the operation keeps trading.
- Guest rooms fail at the door
Corridor noise and the room next door generate more complaints than the room acoustics ever do. Door and wall detailing does that work.
- Salt air and heavy monsoon
PET felt does not absorb moisture, rot or feed mould, which matters where mineral products sag within a single season here.
- Season dates are fixed
The season does not move. We give real dispatch and transit dates so a fit-out is not waiting on a truck.
- The housing stock
Villas, apartments and older Portuguese era houses with tile and stone floors, in a humid coastal climate with heavy monsoon.
- The studio and content scene
A small but active music and content scene working out of villas and converted rooms with neighbours and noise limits close by.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Conditions
Why the climate in Goa changes the material, not the target
Goa 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.
For a Goa 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 Goa, with real dates
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | three to four days |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | three to four days |
| 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 2 to 4 working days from our plant at Palwal. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
By road from Palwal, roughly sixteen hundred kilometres, normally three to four days on a dedicated truck.
10 rolls for 2.5 mm and 4 mm. Other thicknesses are made to order at 10 tonnes per thickness.
| 2.5 mm | 10 rolls, 60 sq m, about 315 kg |
|---|---|
| 4 mm | 10 rolls, 60 sq m, about 504 kg |
| 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 / Straight talk
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.
-
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 Goa
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.
Goa: questions we are actually asked
Where are the soundBlanket mass loaded vinyl you supply to Goa actually made?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Goa as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Goa is hospitality, coastal damp and a licensing conversation about how loud a venue can be after dark. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What decides the specification for a Goa project?
A club or beach venue has to hold its energy and keep it off the neighbours after hours. That is containment, and it decides whether the operation keeps trading. Corridor noise and the room next door generate more complaints than the room acoustics ever do. Door and wall detailing does that work. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Will this material last in the Goa climate?
Goa 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 Goa?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: three to four days, dispatch: 2 to 4 working days. Standard items dispatch in 2 to 4 working days from our plant at Palwal. 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.
How is the order packed and what is the minimum?
10 rolls for 2.5 mm and 4 mm. Other thicknesses are made to order at 10 tonnes per thickness. 2.5 mm, 10 rolls, 60 sq m, about 315 kg. 4 mm, 10 rolls, 60 sq m, about 504 kg. 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.
