Manufactured in India, supplied in Hong Kong
Soundproof curtains in Hong Kong
We manufacture soundproof curtains at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Hong Kong. Made at our own plant in India and shipped straight into Hong Kong, so the container lands where it is needed rather than a road leg away.

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 / The material
What you are buying, and what it fixes in Hong Kong
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 Hong Kong is mostly apartments, offices, hotels and dining, clinics, schools, studios.
Very dense reinforced concrete towers with hard floors and minimal separation between units. Impact and airborne noise between flats is constant.
- 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 Hong Kong.
02 / Data sheet
The numbers, and they do not move by city
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.
- Standard5.5 kg per sq m. Openings, stages, temporary partitions

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 / In this market
What decides the build-up in Hong Kong
- Depth is the expensive part
Every millimetre a wall grows into the room is paid for at Hong Kong rates. A dense thin membrane usually beats a thicker framed build-up here on total cost.
- Concrete towers, live rooms
The structure blocks a great deal already. The problem is hard interiors and impact through slabs rather than airborne transfer.
- Plant on every roof and podium
Cooling plant sits within metres of windows in a dense city, so plant noise reaches more people than any single source.
- The port is right here
Direct sea into Hong Kong keeps the chain short and the landed cost predictable.
- The housing stock
Very dense reinforced concrete towers with hard floors and minimal separation between units. Impact and airborne noise between flats is constant.
- The studio and content scene
Studios go into industrial buildings where the neighbouring tenancy and the building plant decide what is achievable.
Architects working in Hong Kong usually need the build-up before the product. We will draw the section and mark what does the work. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate and durability
Durability in Hong Kong, before acoustics is discussed
Hong Kong is hot summers, mild winters and a distinct wet season, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
PET felt handles the wet months without absorbing moisture or feeding mould. Timber and wood wool want a ventilated cavity and a stable indoor RH.
The risk we design against here is wet-season humidity behind linings.
Interior designers tend to arrive with the look already decided. We will tell you which finish gets there without losing the acoustics. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Supply
Getting it to Hong Kong, with real dates
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Hong Kong, then a short road run to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea into Hong Kong |
| 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 direct into Hong Kong, 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 / Straight talk
What we will tell you that a reseller will not
-
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.

Suppliers who imply a Hong Kong 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.
Hong Kong: questions we are actually asked
Do you manufacture soundproof curtains in Hong Kong?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Hong Kong as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped straight into Hong Kong, so the container lands where it is needed rather than a road leg away. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What changes the specification on a Hong Kong job?
Every millimetre a wall grows into the room is paid for at Hong Kong rates. A dense thin membrane usually beats a thicker framed build-up here on total cost. The structure blocks a great deal already. The problem is hard interiors and impact through slabs rather than airborne transfer. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Hong Kong climate affect this product?
Hong Kong is hot summers, mild winters and a distinct wet season. PET felt handles the wet months without absorbing moisture or feeding mould. Timber and wood wool want a ventilated cavity and a stable indoor RH. The failure we design against here is wet-season humidity behind linings.
What is the delivery time into Hong Kong?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Hong Kong, 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.
When are soundproof curtains the wrong purchase?
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.
How is the order packed and what is the minimum?
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.

Drawings in, BOQ and a delivered date out
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.
