Cinema and multiplex soundproofing in Ludhiana
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. Auditoriums, banquet halls and places of worship are large hard volumes in concrete and stone where speech falls apart long before anyone calls the room echoey.
- 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.

01 / The material
What this material is and where it earns its place in Ludhiana
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.
Auditoriums, banquet halls and places of worship are large hard volumes in concrete and stone where speech falls apart long before anyone calls the room echoey.
Work reaching us from Ludhiana is mostly knitting and textile units, workshops, worker areas, offices, showrooms, schools, clinics.
- Machine noise, all shift Knitting and processing machines run continuously. The honest fix is enclosing or barriering the machine, not lining the walls of the hall.
- Industry beside housing Units sit close to homes, so noise leaving the building matters as much as noise inside it. Those are two different treatments.
- Hard halls, no intelligibility Large sheds with steel and concrete surfaces make instructions and alarms hard to understand. Targeted absorption fixes that without touching the machines.
- 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 Ludhiana.
02 / The build-up
The stack, in the order it is installed
-
Layer 1
SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl
A limp, high density sheet that adds mass to a partition, floor or duct without adding depth. In Ludhiana, agro processing and light engineering plant, with generator sets and machinery close to occupied buildings.
Duct and plant wrap. Membrane wrapped over the duct with a decoupling layer beneath, sealed at every lap.
-
Layer 2
Acoustic panels
The full absorber range rather than one product: plain PET felt, printed felt, grooved panels and fabric finishes, chosen by how the room is used and how it has to look. In Ludhiana, auditoriums, banquet halls and places of worship are large hard volumes in concrete and stone where speech falls apart long before anyone calls the room echoey.
Ceiling first. In most rooms the ceiling is the largest untreated surface and the cheapest square metre of result.
-
Layer 3
PET felt acoustic panels
A rigid non-woven panel pressed from 100% polyester fibre, a large part of it recycled. In Ludhiana, large school and college campuses in concrete and tile, with halls carrying assembly and performance.
Over a porous backing. Panel over mineral or PET backing where the room needs genuine low mid control.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
03 / On the ground
What we see driving Ludhiana briefs
- Machine noise, all shift
Knitting and processing machines run continuously. The honest fix is enclosing or barriering the machine, not lining the walls of the hall.
- Industry beside housing
Units sit close to homes, so noise leaving the building matters as much as noise inside it. Those are two different treatments.
- Hard halls, no intelligibility
Large sheds with steel and concrete surfaces make instructions and alarms hard to understand. Targeted absorption fixes that without touching the machines.
- One to two days by road
A dedicated truck from Palwal, with samples sent ahead so you can check the material before committing.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Auditoriums, banquet halls and places of worship are large hard volumes in concrete and stone where speech falls apart long before anyone calls the room echoey.
04 / Room by room
Room by room, on a typical Ludhiana job
-
Screen to screen
Independent construction between auditoria, with services broken at the line. Knitting and processing machines run continuously. The honest fix is enclosing or barriering the machine, not lining the walls of the hall.
- SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl, 2100 kg per cubic metre
- Acoustic carpet and rugs, 4 mm
- PET felt acoustic panels, 4 to 24 mm
-
In room response
Heavy absorption on side and rear walls so the mix is heard as intended. Units sit close to homes, so noise leaving the building matters as much as noise inside it. Those are two different treatments.
- SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl, STC 30, 5.25 kg per sq m
- Acoustic carpet and rugs, High density polyester
- PET felt acoustic panels, 1220 x 2440 mm standard, 4 x 8 ft
-
Plant and projection
Equipment noise into the auditorium, treated at source. Large sheds with steel and concrete surfaces make instructions and alarms hard to understand. Targeted absorption fixes that without touching the machines.
- SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl, STC 34, 8.4 kg per sq m
- Acoustic carpet and rugs, Felt
- PET felt acoustic panels, 2440 x 4270 mm, 2.44 x 4.27 m, 8 x 14 ft
Interior designers tend to arrive with the look already decided. We will tell you which finish gets there without losing the acoustics. See how we work with interior designers.
04 / Climate and durability
Why the climate in Ludhiana changes the material, not the target
Ludhiana is hot summers, mild winters and a distinct wet season, and that narrows the material list before acoustics is 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 failure we design against here is wet-season humidity behind linings.
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.

Where this kind of project usually fails
-
A shared service void running across the wall line
A treated wall under a bare hard ceiling gives you a fraction of the reduction you paid for, and the room still sounds wrong.
-
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
Soundproofing fails at the gaps, not the materials. One unsealed service penetration can undo a correctly built wall.
-
Treating it as a generic Ludhiana job
Knitting and processing machines run continuously. The honest fix is enclosing or barriering the machine, not lining the walls of the hall.
05 / Supply
Getting it to Ludhiana, with real dates
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | one to two days |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | one to 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 three hundred and fifty kilometres. Full loads on a dedicated truck, smaller consignments on a shared vehicle.
Questions from Ludhiana projects
What makes cinema and multiplex soundproofing different in Ludhiana?
Auditoriums, banquet halls and places of worship are large hard volumes in concrete and stone where speech falls apart long before anyone calls the room echoey. Knitting and processing machines run continuously. The honest fix is enclosing or barriering the machine, not lining the walls of the hall.
Where should the budget go first on a Ludhiana 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 Ludhiana?
No. We manufacture in India and supply into Ludhiana. 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 Ludhiana site?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: one to 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.
