Manufactured in India, supplied in Italy
Soundproofing materials in Italy
We manufacture soundproofing materials at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Italy. Made at our own plant in India, shipped in container loads into Genoa, La Spezia or Trieste, and specified against your drawings before anything leaves the factory.

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 / What it is
The material, and what it actually does on a Italy 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 Italy is mostly apartments, hotels, restaurants, showrooms, offices, studios, clinics, schools.
Masonry palazzi and later concrete blocks, with terrazzo and tile floors and shared courtyards that carry sound between flats.
- 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 Italy.

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

On a Italy job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.
03 / In this market
What decides the build-up in Italy
- Hard shells, long reverberation
Masonry, marble, terrazzo and plaster reflect almost everything. A room can measure fine on paper and still be unusable for speech until something absorbent goes on the ceiling.
- Heritage limits what you can touch
In a protected building you often cannot alter the structure or the facade, so the work has to be internal, shallow and ideally reversible. That rules out most thick framed systems.
- Condominio living
Shared stairwells, party walls and slabs between flats mean neighbour complaints arrive fast. Mass plus a resilient break does more here than any surface treatment.
- Appearance is half the brief
Italian clients look at the panel before they listen to it. We supply consistent colour across a full order and finishes that survive a design review.
- Plant and HVAC
Split and multi-split systems with condensers in courtyards that reflect noise back into every flat.
- The housing stock
Masonry palazzi and later concrete blocks, with terrazzo and tile floors and shared courtyards that carry sound between flats.
If you are specifying for a Italy project, we can give you a section, a BOQ and the honest limits of each layer. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate and durability
Durability in Italy, before acoustics is discussed
Italy is hot dry summers and mild wet winters, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
The swing between a dry summer and a wet winter moves timber. PET felt is dimensionally stable across that swing; slat panels want a stable substrate and a ventilated fixing.
The risk we design against here is seasonal movement in timber and winter damp in unheated stock.
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 / Route to site
Getting it to Italy, with real dates
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Genoa, La Spezia or Trieste, then road to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Genoa |
| 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 Genoa, La Spezia or Trieste, then road to site anywhere in the country. Air freight for samples and urgent quantities.
06 / Before you buy
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.
-
Local approvals that nobody actually holds
We hold no Italy certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.
07 / In projects
The material in real interiors
Italy: questions we are actually asked
Where are the soundproofing materials you supply to Italy actually made?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Italy as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India, shipped in container loads into Genoa, La Spezia or Trieste, and specified against your drawings before anything leaves the factory. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What decides the specification for a Italy project?
Masonry, marble, terrazzo and plaster reflect almost everything. A room can measure fine on paper and still be unusable for speech until something absorbent goes on the ceiling. In a protected building you often cannot alter the structure or the facade, so the work has to be internal, shallow and ideally reversible. That rules out most thick framed systems. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Does Italy weather shorten the life of this material?
Italy is hot dry summers and mild wet winters. The swing between a dry summer and a wet winter moves timber. PET felt is dimensionally stable across that swing; slat panels want a stable substrate and a ventilated fixing. The failure we design against here is seasonal movement in timber and winter damp in unheated stock.
How quickly can material reach a site in Italy?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Genoa, La Spezia or Trieste, then road 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.
Where do soundproofing materials fail to help?
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.
