Soundproofing materials in Ho Chi Minh City

- Made at our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, India
- One batch across the order, no blending between runs
We make this ourselves and ship it to you. No local branch, no borrowed certifications, no dealer margin. One batch across the whole order, and an honest answer when the product is wrong for the problem.
01 / The material
What you are buying, and what it fixes in Ho Chi Minh City
The blocking side of the range taken together: mass loaded vinyl, resilient layers, cavity absorption and the build-ups they belong in. This is the page for someone whose problem is noise getting through, not a room that sounds wrong.
Work reaching us from Ho Chi Minh City is mostly tube houses and apartments, towers and offices, manufacturing, hotels, schools, clinics.
Tube houses and apartment towers in concrete and block, sharing walls with neighbours on both sides and hard floors throughout.
- Independent leaf A second wall that does not touch the first. Nothing else comes close for the money.
- Resilient bar Where a full independent leaf will not fit. Effective, and very easy to short circuit with one wrong screw.
- Floating floor Resilient layer and deck, to break impact energy before it reaches the structure.
- What it will not do Soundproofing fails at the gaps, not the materials. A service penetration, a back to back socket, or a door undercut will undo a correctly built wall.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for our soundproofing materials are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Ho Chi Minh City.

02 / Data sheet
The published figures, unchanged by location
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.
- Light retrofit2.5 mm membrane. Where depth is not available
- Standard partition4 mm membrane on an independent leaf. The common specification
- Heavy6 mm membrane and full decoupling. Plant, machine enclosure, low frequency

On a Ho Chi Minh City job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.
03 / In this market
What we see driving Ho Chi Minh City briefs
- Narrow, deep, shared on both sides
The tube house has party walls left and right and an open front onto the street, so noise arrives from three directions at once.
- Traffic never stops
Constant street noise gets in through openings and glazing. The facade is where the first money should go, not the wall.
- New towers, hard interiors
Concrete frames with tile and glass inside. The structure blocks, the room rings.
- Tropical humidity all year
PET felt does not hold moisture or feed mould, which matters where mineral products sag within a couple of seasons.
- Plant and HVAC
Split units with condensers on facades and in narrow gaps between buildings that act as reverberant shafts.
- The housing stock
Tube houses and apartment towers in concrete and block, sharing walls with neighbours on both sides and hard floors throughout.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate and durability
Durability in Ho Chi Minh City, before acoustics is discussed
Ho Chi Minh City 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 / Route to site
Getting it to Ho Chi Minh City, with real dates
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Cat Lai or Cai Mep, then a short road run into the city |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Cat Lai or Cai Mep |
| Packing | Rolls on core tubes, boards palletised, fixings and tapes listed on the same packing list. |
| Lead time | 4 to 7 working days for stock items. |
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 Cat Lai or Cai Mep, then a short road run into the city. Air freight for samples and urgent quantities.
06 / Straight talk
Four honest warnings before you buy
-
The wrong product for the problem
Soundproofing fails at the gaps, not the materials. A service penetration, a back to back socket, or a door undercut will undo a correctly built wall. We would rather spend the conversation on the detail than on the product.
-
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.
-
A claim of being local to Ho Chi Minh City
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.

Ho Chi Minh City: questions we are actually asked
Do you manufacture soundproofing materials in Ho Chi Minh City?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Ho Chi Minh City as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Cat Lai or Cai Mep, then a short road run into the city. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
Why would a Ho Chi Minh City build-up differ from anywhere else?
The tube house has party walls left and right and an open front onto the street, so noise arrives from three directions at once. Constant street noise gets in through openings and glazing. The facade is where the first money should go, not the wall. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Will this material last in the Ho Chi Minh City climate?
Ho Chi Minh City 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.
When would material land on a Ho Chi Minh City site?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Cat Lai or Cai Mep, then a short road run into the city, 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.
When are soundproofing materials the wrong purchase?
Soundproofing fails at the gaps, not the materials. A service penetration, a back to back socket, or a door undercut will undo a correctly built wall. We would rather spend the conversation on the detail than on the product.
Is there a minimum order, and how does it arrive?
Minimum order is confirmed with the quote. Rolls on core tubes, boards palletised, fixings and tapes listed on the same packing list.
