Cinema and multiplex soundproofing in Jaipur
Screens stacked beside and above each other, each running full range at high level. Bleed between auditoria is the failure everyone hears, and it is decided by the shell, not the finishes. Palace hotels, banquet halls and auditoria are very large stone volumes with long decay times.
- Screen to screen
- Independent construction between auditoria, with services broken at the line.
- In room response
- Heavy absorption on side and rear walls so the mix is heard as intended.
- Plant and projection
- Equipment noise into the auditorium, treated at source.

01 / What it is
The product, described honestly, for a Jaipur brief
Screens stacked beside and above each other, each running full range at high level. Bleed between auditoria is the failure everyone hears, and it is decided by the shell, not the finishes.
Palace hotels, banquet halls and auditoria are very large stone volumes with long decay times.
Work reaching us from Jaipur is mostly heritage hotels, wedding and banquet venues, jewellery workshops, offices, schools, clinics.
- The venue is the product A banquet hall has to hold amplified music and still let a speech be understood. Those pull in opposite directions unless the ceiling is handled properly.
- Heritage fabric stays Stone, lime plaster and high ceilings that cannot be altered. Work has to be internal, shallow and ideally reversible.
- Workshops and cutting Gem and jewellery units where cutting and polishing run all day close to occupied areas.
- Screen to screen Independent construction between auditoria, with services broken at the line.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for cinema soundproofing are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Jaipur.
02 / The build-up
What goes where, from the structure in
-
Layer 1
SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl
A limp, high density sheet that adds mass to a partition, floor or duct without adding depth. In Jaipur, split units, VRF outdoor banks and diesel generator sets sit close to occupied areas, often on the same terrace as a bedroom. Generator enclosure and condenser screening are the recurring jobs.
Wall, decoupled. Independent stud, membrane between the boards, cavity absorption, two boards. The membrane is one part of a system, never the whole answer.
-
Layer 2
Acoustic panels
The full absorber range rather than one product: plain PET felt, printed felt, grooved panels and fabric finishes, chosen by how the room is used and how it has to look. In Jaipur, palace hotels, banquet halls and auditoria are very large stone volumes with long decay times.
Ceiling first. In most rooms the ceiling is the largest untreated surface and the cheapest square metre of result.
-
Layer 3
Acoustic carpet and rugs
A tile carpet with a dense polyester face on a felt backing. In Jaipur, school buildings are stone and concrete with high ceilings and courtyards that amplify break time noise.
Over a resilient underlay. Where impact noise to the floor below is the actual complaint, the underlay does that work, not the carpet.
Architects working in Jaipur usually need the build-up before the product. We will draw the section and mark what does the work. See how we support architects.
03 / Local conditions
What we see driving Jaipur briefs
- The venue is the product
A banquet hall has to hold amplified music and still let a speech be understood. Those pull in opposite directions unless the ceiling is handled properly.
- Heritage fabric stays
Stone, lime plaster and high ceilings that cannot be altered. Work has to be internal, shallow and ideally reversible.
- Workshops and cutting
Gem and jewellery units where cutting and polishing run all day close to occupied areas.
- Next day from the plant
A few hours by road. Low freight cost, quick samples, and easy replacement.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Palace hotels, banquet halls and auditoria are very large stone volumes with long decay times.

For a Jaipur interior where the finish leads, we will say plainly what each option costs you acoustically. See how we work with interior designers.
04 / Climate
Durability in Jaipur, before acoustics is discussed
Jaipur is hot and dry for most of the year, with dust and high daytime surface temperatures, and that narrows the material list before acoustics is discussed.
Dust is the enemy of open-cell products. PET felt does not shed, does not hold dust in the way fabric-wrapped glass wool does, and wipes down. Timber needs a stable indoor RH or it moves.
The failure we design against here is dust ingress and thermal movement in long runs.
Consultants get the raw data, not a sales sheet. That is the whole of our side of the job, and it is set out under working with acoustic consultants.
06 / Straight talk
Six mistakes that turn into a second fit-out
-
A shared service void running across the wall line
Square metre for square metre the ceiling is the cheapest result in the room. Skipping it and buying wall panels instead is the most common way to overspend.
-
Treating the auditorium to fix bleed from the next screen
Small on the drawing, expensive on site, and almost always found after handover.
-
Doors and lobbies specified late and undersized
A 6 mm undercut under a door leaves a hole the size of a brick. The wall around it is then decorative.
-
Treating it as a generic Jaipur job
A banquet hall has to hold amplified music and still let a speech be understood. Those pull in opposite directions unless the ceiling is handled properly.
05 / Getting it there
Supply into Jaipur, start to site
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | a day |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | a day |
| Support | Drawings, build-ups, BOQ and material that arrives complete |
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 two hundred and fifty kilometres, usually next day on a dedicated truck.
Questions from Jaipur projects
What makes cinema and multiplex soundproofing different in Jaipur?
Palace hotels, banquet halls and auditoria are very large stone volumes with long decay times. A banquet hall has to hold amplified music and still let a speech be understood. Those pull in opposite directions unless the ceiling is handled properly.
Where should the budget go first on a Jaipur project?
Screen to screen. Independent construction between auditoria, with services broken at the line. In room response. Heavy absorption on side and rear walls so the mix is heard as intended.
Do you have an office or installation team in Jaipur?
No. We manufacture in India and supply into Jaipur. We give you drawings, build-ups, a BOQ and material that arrives complete, and we will tell you plainly when a job needs a local contractor we cannot be.
How does material get to a Jaipur site?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: a day, 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 goes wrong most often on this kind of project?
A shared service void running across the wall line. Treating the auditorium to fix bleed from the next screen.
What do you need from us to quote?
A plan, a section through the critical partition or ceiling, and what the room is for. From that we can give a build-up and a BOQ rather than a price per square foot.
Next step
Send the drawings, get a straight answer
A plan and a section is enough. We will come back with a build-up, a BOQ and a delivered date, and we will say so if what you are asking for will not work.
