Manufactured in India, supplied in Jakarta
Soundproofing materials in Jakarta
We manufacture soundproofing materials at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Jakarta. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Tanjung Priok, inside the city, so the road leg to site is short.

- 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
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 / Start here
What this material is and where it earns its place in Jakarta
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 Jakarta is mostly towers and offices, apartments, hotels, hospitals, schools, studios.
Concrete frame with block infill in cities, timber and light construction outside them. Apartment stock shares walls and slabs that were never detailed for two households.
- 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 Jakarta.

02 / Specification
Published specification, identical wherever we ship it
Nothing below changes by location. The decisions that do change are grade, thickness and how the material is mounted, and those are covered further down.
- 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 / In this market
What the buildings in Jakarta do to the specification
- The port is in the city
Tanjung Priok is close, which keeps the road leg short and the landed cost predictable.
- Noise arrives from outside
Traffic and construction reach rooms through glazing and openings long before they come through a wall. Fix the weakest path first.
- Concrete towers, live interiors
The structure blocks well. The problem is tile, glass and stone inside making the room ring.
- Standby generation
Power backup sits close to occupied space in most commercial buildings and runs often enough to matter.
- Plant and HVAC
Split units everywhere, with condensers on balconies and light wells that channel noise straight back into bedrooms.
- The housing stock
Concrete frame with block infill in cities, timber and light construction outside them. Apartment stock shares walls and slabs that were never detailed for two households.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate and durability
What the Jakarta climate rules in and rules out
Jakarta 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.
Designers get colour, pattern and CNC options with the absorption figure attached to each. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Logistics
How material reaches a Jakarta site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Tanjung Priok, then a short road run into the city |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Tanjung Priok |
| 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 Tanjung Priok, then a short road run into the city. Air freight for samples and urgent quantities.

The things worth knowing before you place the order
-
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.
-
Suppliers who imply a Jakarta 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.

The product on finished jobs
Jakarta: questions we are actually asked
Where are the soundproofing materials you supply to Jakarta actually made?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Jakarta as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Tanjung Priok, inside the city, so the road leg to site is short. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What changes the specification on a Jakarta job?
Traffic and construction reach rooms through glazing and openings long before they come through a wall. Fix the weakest path first. The structure blocks well. The problem is tile, glass and stone inside making the room ring. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Will this material last in the Jakarta climate?
Jakarta 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.
How quickly can material reach a site in Jakarta?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Tanjung Priok, 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.
What will soundproofing materials 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. 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.
