Cinema and multiplex soundproofing in Jodhpur
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.

The material, and what it actually does on a Jodhpur job
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 Jodhpur is mostly furniture and stone workshops, heritage hotels, restaurants, offices, schools, clinics.
- Stone and wood workshops Cutting, sanding and polishing produce continuous high level noise. Enclosure and barrier at the machine is the only honest answer.
- Heritage rooms are hard and tall Stone, lime plaster and high ceilings hold sound for a long time. Speech stops being intelligible before the room sounds obviously wrong.
- You often cannot alter the building In a heritage property the structure stays. Work has to be internal, shallow and reversible, which rules out most thick framed systems.
- 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 Jodhpur.
02 / The build-up
How the layers stack, from the structure inwards
-
Layer 1
SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl
A limp, high density sheet that adds mass to a partition, floor or duct without adding depth. In Jodhpur, 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.
Floor, floating. Membrane under a resilient layer and a floating deck, so impact energy is broken before it reaches the slab.
-
Layer 2
Acoustic carpet and rugs
A tile carpet with a dense polyester face on a felt backing. In Jodhpur, palace hotels, banquet halls and auditoria are very large stone volumes with long decay times.
Loose lay on tackifier. Tiles lifted individually for access under a raised floor, which is why tile beats broadloom in an office.
-
Layer 3
PET felt acoustic panels
A rigid non-woven panel pressed from 100% polyester fibre, a large part of it recycled. In Jodhpur, school buildings are stone and concrete with high ceilings and courtyards that amplify break time noise.
Over a porous backing. Panel over mineral or PET backing where the room needs genuine low mid control.
For a Jodhpur practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
03 / On the ground
What we see driving Jodhpur briefs
- Stone and wood workshops
Cutting, sanding and polishing produce continuous high level noise. Enclosure and barrier at the machine is the only honest answer.
- Heritage rooms are hard and tall
Stone, lime plaster and high ceilings hold sound for a long time. Speech stops being intelligible before the room sounds obviously wrong.
- You often cannot alter the building
In a heritage property the structure stays. Work has to be internal, shallow and reversible, which rules out most thick framed systems.
- Dry heat does not affect the material
PET felt does not sag, shed fibre or degrade at high temperature, which matters in roof voids and rooms that get genuinely hot.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Palace hotels, banquet halls and auditoria are very large stone volumes with long decay times.
04 / Room by room
Space by space, for Jodhpur briefs
-
Screen to screen
Independent construction between auditoria, with services broken at the line. Cutting, sanding and polishing produce continuous high level noise. Enclosure and barrier at the machine is the only honest answer.
- SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl, 2100 kg per cubic metre
- Acoustic panels, 1800 x 900 mm, image printed into the felt rather than onto a facing
- Acoustic carpet and rugs, High density polyester
-
In room response
Heavy absorption on side and rear walls so the mix is heard as intended. Stone, lime plaster and high ceilings hold sound for a long time. Speech stops being intelligible before the room sounds obviously wrong.
- SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl, STC 30, 5.25 kg per sq m
- Acoustic panels, Cut pattern in PET felt, adds visual rhythm without changing the absorber
- Acoustic carpet and rugs, Felt
-
Plant and projection
Equipment noise into the auditorium, treated at source. In a heritage property the structure stays. Work has to be internal, shallow and reversible, which rules out most thick framed systems.
- SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl, STC 34, 8.4 kg per sq m
- Acoustic panels, ASTM C423
- Acoustic carpet and rugs, 64 sq ft per pack
If the visual is fixed and the room still has to perform, that is a solvable problem and a conversation worth having early. See how we work with interior designers.
04 / Climate and durability
What the Jodhpur climate rules in and rules out
Jodhpur 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.
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.
06 / Straight talk
The six errors that cost the most
-
A shared service void running across the wall line
The ceiling is almost always the largest untreated surface, so leaving it out means paying for panels that cannot reach the target.
-
Treating the auditorium to fix bleed from the next screen
It sounds like a small detail until the room is finished and the complaint arrives.
-
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 Jodhpur job
Cutting, sanding and polishing produce continuous high level noise. Enclosure and barrier at the machine is the only honest answer.
05 / Getting it there
What the route into Jodhpur actually looks like
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | two days |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | two days |
| 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 six hundred kilometres, normally two days on a dedicated truck.
Questions from Jodhpur projects
What makes cinema and multiplex soundproofing different in Jodhpur?
Palace hotels, banquet halls and auditoria are very large stone volumes with long decay times. Cutting, sanding and polishing produce continuous high level noise. Enclosure and barrier at the machine is the only honest answer.
Where should the budget go first on a Jodhpur 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 Jodhpur?
No. We manufacture in India and supply into Jodhpur. 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 Jodhpur site?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: two days, 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.
