Manufactured in India, supplied in Jeddah
Soundproofing materials in Jeddah
We manufacture soundproofing materials at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Jeddah. Made at our own plant in India and shipped straight into Jeddah, so the container lands at the city rather than a long drive away.

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 Jeddah 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 Jeddah is mostly hotels and hospitality, corporate offices, apartments, hospitals, schools, retail.
Villas and apartment blocks are concrete and block with hard stone or tile throughout. Mass is there, but every room is live and impact noise between floors is untreated.
- 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 Jeddah.

02 / Specification
The published figures, unchanged by location
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.

- Standard partition4 mm membrane on an independent leaf. The common specification
- Heavy6 mm membrane and full decoupling. Plant, machine enclosure, low frequency

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.
03 / On the ground
What we see driving Jeddah briefs
- The port is at the city
Direct sea into Jeddah keeps the road leg short and the landed cost predictable, which is unusual in this region.
- A gateway for pilgrimage hospitality
Large hotel quantities often continue inland from here. Tell us if that is happening and we stage and pack for the second leg.
- Coastal humidity
PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which matters on a humid Red Sea coast where mineral products sag.
- Guest rooms fail at the door
Corridor noise and the next room cause more complaints than room acoustics. Door and wall detailing is where the work is.
- Plant and HVAC
Cooling runs year round at high load, so chillers, AHUs and large duct runs are constant sources. Plant room lining and duct attenuation carry most of the result.
- The housing stock
Villas and apartment blocks are concrete and block with hard stone or tile throughout. Mass is there, but every room is live and impact noise between floors is untreated.
If you are specifying for a Jeddah 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 Jeddah, before acoustics is discussed
Jeddah is hot and dry for most of the year, with dust and high daytime surface temperatures, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even 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 risk we design against here is dust ingress and thermal movement in long runs.
For a Jeddah interior where the finish leads, we will say plainly what each option costs you acoustically. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Supply
Getting it to Jeddah, with real dates
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Jeddah, then a short road run or onward inland |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea into Jeddah |
| 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 direct into Jeddah, then a short road run to site or onward inland. Air freight for samples and urgent quantities.
06 / Before you buy
Where this goes wrong, said plainly
-
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.
-
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.
-
Local approvals that nobody actually holds
We hold no Jeddah certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.

Jeddah: questions we are actually asked
Is there a Jeddah factory behind this product?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Jeddah as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped straight into Jeddah, so the container lands at the city rather than a long drive away. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What decides the specification for a Jeddah project?
Direct sea into Jeddah keeps the road leg short and the landed cost predictable, which is unusual in this region. Large hotel quantities often continue inland from here. Tell us if that is happening and we stage and pack for the second leg. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Does Jeddah weather shorten the life of this material?
Jeddah is hot and dry for most of the year, with dust and high daytime surface temperatures. 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.
How does an order actually travel to Jeddah?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Jeddah, then a short road run or onward 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 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.
How is the order packed and what is the minimum?
Minimum order is confirmed with the quote. Rolls on core tubes, boards palletised, fixings and tapes listed on the same packing list.
Next step
Tell us the room, we will tell you the build-up
Send what you have. We will give you a layer by layer build-up, a bill of quantities and a date material lands, and we will flag anything in the brief that will not achieve what you want.
