Manufactured in India, supplied in Hungary
Soundproofing materials in Hungary
We manufacture soundproofing materials at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Hungary. Made at our own plant in India and routed through Koper, then rail and road inland.

- ASTM E90 for the barrier, ASTM C423 for the absorber
- Made at our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, India
- One batch across the order, no blending between runs
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 / What it is
The material, and what it actually does on a Hungary job
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 Hungary is mostly automotive plants, offices and service centres, hotels, panel block housing, schools, hospitals.
Masonry blocks with timber floors in older stock and panel housing in concrete, both with hard finishes.
- 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 Hungary.

02 / Specification sheet
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.
- 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

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 / Local conditions
What the buildings in Hungary do to the specification
- Landlocked, so plan the inland leg
Koper then rail and road. We quote the sea leg and the inland leg separately so the programme runs on real dates.
- Automotive plant noise
Presses, robots and conveyors are low frequency and structure-borne. Enclosure at the source rather than absorption on a far wall.
- Panel block housing
Prefabricated concrete passes speech and footfall between flats through thin connected elements. Mass is the only reliable answer.
- Budapest conversions
Old buildings turned into offices and hotels, with tall rooms and hard plaster that hold sound far too long.
- Plant and HVAC
District heating and split units, with condensers in courtyards that reflect noise back into flats.
- The housing stock
Masonry blocks with timber floors in older stock and panel housing in concrete, both with hard finishes.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Durability
What the Hungary climate rules in and rules out
Hungary is cool and damp, with long heating seasons and cold external walls, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
Cold wall build-ups and long heating seasons mean interstitial condensation is a real risk behind any lining. PET felt is unaffected by damp air and will not feed mould where a fabric-faced mineral product would.
The risk we design against here is condensation behind linings in older, poorly insulated stock.
For a Hungary interior where the finish leads, we will say plainly what each option costs you acoustically. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Route to site
What the route into Hungary actually looks like
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Koper, then rail and road inland |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Koper, then rail |
| 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 Koper, then rail and road inland. Air freight for samples and urgent quantities.
06 / Before you buy
What we will tell you that a reseller will not
-
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.
-
Square footage quoted before the room is understood
Anyone can price a wall. Working out how much material the room actually needs usually reduces the order, which is why not everyone does it.
-
A claim of being local to Hungary
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.
07 / In projects
How it looks once it is installed
Hungary: questions we are actually asked
Do you manufacture soundproofing materials in Hungary?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Hungary as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and routed through Koper, then rail and road inland. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What do you look at first on a Hungary enquiry?
Koper then rail and road. We quote the sea leg and the inland leg separately so the programme runs on real dates. Presses, robots and conveyors are low frequency and structure-borne. Enclosure at the source rather than absorption on a far wall. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Is this the right material for Hungary conditions?
Hungary is cool and damp, with long heating seasons and cold external walls. Cold wall build-ups and long heating seasons mean interstitial condensation is a real risk behind any lining. PET felt is unaffected by damp air and will not feed mould where a fabric-faced mineral product would. The failure we design against here is condensation behind linings in older, poorly insulated stock.
What is the delivery time into Hungary?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Koper, then rail and 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 should you not buy soundproofing materials for?
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.
What is the minimum order and how is it packed?
Minimum order is confirmed with the quote. Rolls on core tubes, boards palletised, fixings and tapes listed on the same packing list.
