Manufactured in India, supplied in Jodhpur
SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl in Jodhpur
We manufacture soundBlanket mass loaded vinyl at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Jodhpur. Jodhpur makes furniture and handicrafts for export and hosts a great deal of hospitality, so our material goes into workshops and hotels in roughly equal measure.

01 / Start here
The material, and what it actually does on a Jodhpur job
A limp, high density sheet that adds mass to a partition, floor or duct without adding depth. It is the barrier product, not an absorber, and it is the right answer when the problem is noise passing through a structure.
Work reaching us from Jodhpur is mostly furniture and stone workshops, heritage hotels, restaurants, offices, schools, clinics.
Stone and RC construction with stone floors throughout, in a dry dusty climate where dust ingress matters more than damp.
- Wall, decoupled Independent stud, membrane between the boards, cavity absorption, two boards. The membrane is one part of a system, never the whole answer.
- Floor, floating Membrane under a resilient layer and a floating deck, so impact energy is broken before it reaches the slab.
- Duct and plant wrap Membrane wrapped over the duct with a decoupling layer beneath, sealed at every lap.
- What it will not do Mass fixed hard to an existing wall gives far less than the same mass on an independent leaf. If we are told the wall cannot be thickened, we will say what the membrane will and will not achieve rather than quote the laboratory figure and let the site find out.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for SoundBlanket MLV are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Jodhpur.
02 / Specification
The numbers, and they do not move by city
We publish one data sheet for every market. If a supplier quotes you a different figure for the same product in a different city, one of the two numbers is wrong.
- 2.5 mmSTC 30, 5.25 kg per sq m. Ducts, light partitions, retrofit where depth is tight
- 4 mmSTC 34, 8.4 kg per sq m. Party walls, floors, plant rooms, the common specification
- 6 mm12.6 kg per sq m. Machine enclosures and low frequency problems
| Density | 2100 kg per cubic metre |
|---|---|
| 2.5 mm | STC 30, 5.25 kg per sq m |
| 4 mm | STC 34, 8.4 kg per sq m |
| 6 mm | 12.6 kg per sq m, STC on request |
| Roll size | 5 x 1.2 m, 6 sq m per roll |
| Form | Limp sheet, cuts with a knife, seams lapped and sealed |
On a Jodhpur job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.
03 / Local conditions
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.
- The housing stock
Stone and RC construction with stone floors throughout, in a dry dusty climate where dust ingress matters more than damp.
- The studio and content scene
Studios go into basements, terrace rooms and back rooms with neighbours on every side and a generator somewhere in the lane. Isolating from the building has to come before treating the room.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate and durability
Why the climate in Jodhpur changes the material, not the target
Jodhpur 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 Jodhpur interior where the finish leads, we will say plainly what each option costs you acoustically. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Route to site
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 |
| Packing | Rolls on core tubes, wrapped and end capped, 5 x 1.2 m. Weights on the packing list, because a full roll is heavy and site access matters. |
| Lead time | 4 to 7 working days. Full container quantities scheduled against the vessel. |
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.
10 rolls for 2.5 mm and 4 mm. Other thicknesses are made to order at 10 tonnes per thickness.
| 2.5 mm | 10 rolls, 60 sq m, about 315 kg |
|---|---|
| 4 mm | 10 rolls, 60 sq m, about 504 kg |
| 6 mm and other thicknesses | 10 tonnes per thickness |
A SoundBlanket roll is 5 x 1.2 m, which is 6 sq m. At 2100 kg per cubic metre a roll weighs about 31.5 kg at 2.5 mm and about 50.4 kg at 4 mm, so a 10 roll minimum is 60 sq m and roughly 315 kg at 2.5 mm or 504 kg at 4 mm.

Where this goes wrong, said plainly
-
The wrong product for the problem
Mass fixed hard to an existing wall gives far less than the same mass on an independent leaf. If we are told the wall cannot be thickened, we will say what the membrane will and will not achieve rather than quote the laboratory figure and let the site find out.
-
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.
-
A claim of being local to Jodhpur
We manufacture in India and supply here. We do not run an office in this city and we will not pretend to, because you would find out on the first site visit.
Jodhpur: questions we are actually asked
Where are the soundBlanket mass loaded vinyl you supply to Jodhpur actually made?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Jodhpur as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Jodhpur makes furniture and handicrafts for export and hosts a great deal of hospitality, so our material goes into workshops and hotels in roughly equal measure. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What decides the specification for a Jodhpur project?
Cutting, sanding and polishing produce continuous high level noise. Enclosure and barrier at the machine is the only honest answer. Stone, lime plaster and high ceilings hold sound for a long time. Speech stops being intelligible before the room sounds obviously wrong. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Does Jodhpur weather shorten the life of this material?
Jodhpur 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 quickly can material reach a site in Jodhpur?
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.
When are soundBlanket mass loaded vinyl the wrong purchase?
Mass fixed hard to an existing wall gives far less than the same mass on an independent leaf. If we are told the wall cannot be thickened, we will say what the membrane will and will not achieve rather than quote the laboratory figure and let the site find out.
What quantity do we have to order, and in what packaging?
10 rolls for 2.5 mm and 4 mm. Other thicknesses are made to order at 10 tonnes per thickness. 2.5 mm, 10 rolls, 60 sq m, about 315 kg. 4 mm, 10 rolls, 60 sq m, about 504 kg. 6 mm and other thicknesses, 10 tonnes per thickness. A SoundBlanket roll is 5 x 1.2 m, which is 6 sq m. At 2100 kg per cubic metre a roll weighs about 31.5 kg at 2.5 mm and about 50.4 kg at 4 mm, so a 10 roll minimum is 60 sq m and roughly 315 kg at 2.5 mm or 504 kg at 4 mm. Rolls on core tubes, wrapped and end capped, 5 x 1.2 m. Weights on the packing list, because a full roll is heavy and site access matters.
