Manufactured in India, supplied in Kanpur
Soundproof curtains in Kanpur
We manufacture soundproof curtains at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Kanpur. Kanpur is an old industrial city, and a lot of what we supply goes into working units rather than interiors.

Manufacturer, not reseller. We hold no local approvals and will not imply we do. You get the price the factory quotes, material that matches across a large order, and advice that sometimes talks you out of a purchase.
01 / The material
What you are buying, and what it fixes in Kanpur
A layered curtain with a mass loaded vinyl core, used where an opening has to stay an opening. It is the answer for a doorway, a stage, a partition that must move, not a substitute for a wall.
Work reaching us from Kanpur is mostly leather and textile units, engineering workshops, offices, colleges, hospitals, banquet halls.
Independent houses and builder flats in brick and RC frame, often built floor by floor for different households, so the slab between them was never detailed as a separation.
- Full height with return Curtain taken floor to soffit with a side return and an overlap, because the gap is what leaks, not the fabric.
- Track with a seal Ceiling track plus a floor seal or drape, so the perimeter is closed when it is drawn.
- Double layer at a doorway Two curtains with an air gap where a single layer will not reach the target.
- What it will not do A curtain is only as good as its perimeter. Hung short, hung flat against a frame, or with a gap at the side, it will measure nothing like the figure on the sheet.

02 / Specification
One specification sheet, the same in every market
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.

What decides the build-up in Kanpur
- Machinery, long shifts
Continuous machine noise for whole shifts. Enclosure or barrier at the machine is the honest fix, not lining the hall.
- Industry beside housing
Units sit close to homes, so noise leaving the building matters as much as noise inside it. Two different treatments.
- Older building stock
Solid masonry with high ceilings, which holds sound and offers little in the way of a cavity to work with.
- Next day from the plant
A short run, so freight stays cheap and samples reach you quickly.
- The housing stock
Independent houses and builder flats in brick and RC frame, often built floor by floor for different households, so the slab between them was never detailed as a separation.
- 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
What the Kanpur climate rules in and rules out
Kanpur is hot summers, mild winters and a distinct wet season, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
PET felt handles the wet months without absorbing moisture or feeding mould. Timber and wood wool want a ventilated cavity and a stable indoor RH.
The risk we design against here is wet-season humidity behind linings.
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.
05 / Supply
Getting it to Kanpur, with real dates
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | a day |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | a day |
| Packing | Rolled and bagged with track and fixings listed separately. |
| Lead time | Made to size. Confirmed at quote. |
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 five hundred kilometres, normally next day on a dedicated truck.
5 curtains.
| Any size | 5 pieces |

Curtains are made to size, so the minimum is counted in pieces rather than area.
06 / Worth knowing
Where this goes wrong, said plainly
-
The wrong product for the problem
A curtain is only as good as its perimeter. Hung short, hung flat against a frame, or with a gap at the side, it will measure nothing like the figure on the sheet. We quote the detail, not just the fabric.
-
Square footage quoted before the room is understood
Anyone can price a wall. Working out how much material the room actually needs usually reduces the order, which is why not everyone does it.

A claim of being local to Kanpur
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.
Kanpur: questions we are actually asked
Is there a Kanpur 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 Kanpur as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Kanpur is an old industrial city, and a lot of what we supply goes into working units rather than interiors. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
Why would a Kanpur build-up differ from anywhere else?
Continuous machine noise for whole shifts. Enclosure or barrier at the machine is the honest fix, not lining the hall. Units sit close to homes, so noise leaving the building matters as much as noise inside it. Two different treatments. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Is this the right material for Kanpur conditions?
Kanpur is hot summers, mild winters and a distinct wet season. PET felt handles the wet months without absorbing moisture or feeding mould. Timber and wood wool want a ventilated cavity and a stable indoor RH. The failure we design against here is wet-season humidity behind linings.
How quickly can material reach a site in Kanpur?
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.
Where do soundproof curtains fail to help?
A curtain is only as good as its perimeter. Hung short, hung flat against a frame, or with a gap at the side, it will measure nothing like the figure on the sheet. We quote the detail, not just the fabric.
What is the minimum order and how is it packed?
5 curtains. Any size, 5 pieces. Curtains are made to size, so the minimum is counted in pieces rather than area. Rolled and bagged with track and fixings listed separately.
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.
