Manufactured in India, supplied in Kozhikode
Soundproof curtains in Kozhikode
We manufacture soundproof curtains at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Kozhikode. Kozhikode is coastal, humid and building steadily, and humidity is the first thing that decides which acoustic material is worth installing here.

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 Kozhikode job
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 Kozhikode is mostly houses and apartments, hospitals, schools and colleges, auditoriums, hotels, offices.
Independent houses with high ceilings, tile floors and open plan layouts built for heat and very heavy monsoon, which rules out anything that absorbs moisture.
- 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.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for soundproof curtains are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Kozhikode.
02 / Specification
One specification sheet, the same in every market
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.
- Standard5.5 kg per sq m. Openings, stages, temporary partitions
| Build-up | 800 GSM face, foam, 3 mm SoundBlanket MLV core, foam, 800 GSM face |

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.

What the buildings in Kozhikode do to the specification
- Humidity beats everything else
PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould. In a monsoon climate that decides whether a ceiling is still good in five years.
- Large private houses
A lot of residential work here is generous in size and finished carefully, with dedicated rooms for music or cinema.
- Hospitals and colleges
Institutional buildings in concrete and tile, with consult rooms that need privacy and lecture rooms that need intelligibility.
- Five to six days by road
A long run, so we confirm the schedule before dispatch and send samples ahead of the order.
- The housing stock
Independent houses with high ceilings, tile floors and open plan layouts built for heat and very heavy monsoon, which rules out anything that absorbs moisture.
- 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.
For a Kozhikode practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate
Why the climate in Kozhikode changes the material, not the target
Kozhikode 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 / Supply
What the route into Kozhikode actually looks like
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | five to six days |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | five to six days |
| 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 two thousand five hundred kilometres, normally five to six days 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 / Straight talk
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.
-
Suppliers who imply a Kozhikode 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.
Kozhikode: questions we are actually asked
Is there a Kozhikode 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 Kozhikode as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Kozhikode is coastal, humid and building steadily, and humidity is the first thing that decides which acoustic material is worth installing here. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What decides the specification for a Kozhikode project?
PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould. In a monsoon climate that decides whether a ceiling is still good in five years. A lot of residential work here is generous in size and finished carefully, with dedicated rooms for music or cinema. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Will this material last in the Kozhikode climate?
Kozhikode 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.
When would material land on a Kozhikode site?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: five to six 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.
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 quantity do we have to order, and in what packaging?
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
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.
