Soundproof curtains in Kuala Lumpur
We manufacture soundproof curtains at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Kuala Lumpur. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Port Klang, about an hour from the city, so the inland leg stays short.

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 product
What this is, and what it changes in a Kuala Lumpur room
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 Kuala Lumpur is mostly mixed use developments, condo towers, hotels, offices, restaurants, clinics, studios.
Concrete frame condominiums and terrace houses with hard tile floors throughout, sharing walls and slabs.
- 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 Kuala Lumpur.
02 / Specification
One specification sheet, the same in every market
These figures are published and they do not move. The thing worth arguing about is not the number on the sheet, it is which grade and which build-up suits the room you are treating.

On a Kuala Lumpur job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.
03 / On the ground
What we see driving Kuala Lumpur briefs
- Humidity all year
PET felt does not hold moisture or feed mould, which matters where mineral products sag within a few seasons.
- Everything in one building
Retail, plant, offices and homes stacked vertically means noise travels between uses that were never meant to share a structure.
- Concrete towers, hard interiors
The frame has mass, so the issue is usually reverberation inside and impact through slabs rather than airborne transfer.
- An hour from the port
Port Klang is close, which keeps the inland cost low and the date predictable.
- The housing stock
Concrete frame condominiums and terrace houses with hard tile floors throughout, sharing walls and slabs.
- The studio and content scene
A growing content and music sector working out of shop lots and commercial floors with thin partitions.
Architects working in Kuala Lumpur usually need the build-up before the product. We will draw the section and mark what does the work. See how we support architects.
04 / Conditions
The Kuala Lumpur climate decides the material list
Kuala Lumpur 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
How material reaches a Kuala Lumpur site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Port Klang, then a short road run into the city |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Port Klang |
| Packing | Rolled and bagged with track and fixings listed separately. |
| Lead time | Made to size. Confirmed at quote. |
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 into Port Klang, then a short road run into Kuala Lumpur. Air freight for samples and urgent quantities.
The same 5 piece minimum applies on export.
| Any size | 5 pieces |

Curtains are made to size, so the minimum is counted in pieces rather than area.
06 / Straight talk
Four honest warnings before you buy
-
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.
-
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 Kuala Lumpur
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.
Kuala Lumpur: questions we are actually asked
Is there a Kuala Lumpur 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 Kuala Lumpur as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Port Klang, about an hour from the city, so the inland leg stays short. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What decides the specification for a Kuala Lumpur project?
Retail, plant, offices and homes stacked vertically means noise travels between uses that were never meant to share a structure. The frame has mass, so the issue is usually reverberation inside and impact through slabs rather than airborne transfer. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Is this the right material for Kuala Lumpur conditions?
Kuala Lumpur 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.
How does an order actually travel to Kuala Lumpur?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Port Klang, then a short road run into the city, 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.
When are soundproof curtains the wrong purchase?
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?
The same 5 piece minimum applies on export. 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
Send a plan and a section, get a real build-up
We quote from drawings, not from a square foot rate. Send a plan and the section through the critical wall or ceiling and you will get something you can actually build from.
