Manufactured in India, supplied in Mecca
Soundproof curtains in Mecca
We manufacture soundproof curtains at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Mecca. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Jeddah, which is a short road run from the city, so large hotel quantities land without a long inland leg.

We are the manufacturer. There is no local office and we do not claim approvals we do not hold. What you get is factory pricing, one consistent batch across the order, and a straight answer on what the material will and will not do.
01 / The material
What this material is and where it earns its place in Mecca
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 Mecca is mostly hotel guest rooms and corridors, lobbies, assembly and function halls, offices, clinics.
Villas and apartment blocks are concrete and block with hard stone or tile throughout. Mass is there, but every room is live and impact noise between floors is untreated.
- 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 Mecca.
02 / Specification sheet
Published specification, identical wherever we ship it
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.

On a Mecca job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.
03 / On the ground
What decides the build-up in Mecca
- Rooms occupied around the clock
In peak season somebody is always asleep and somebody is always in the corridor. Guest room isolation carries the whole guest experience, and door and corridor details cause more complaints than walls do.
- Refurbishment windows do not move
Work happens between seasons, on dates fixed long in advance. We give real dispatch and transit dates so the programme is not waiting on a container that will not land in time.
- Repeat detail at scale
A thousand rooms means the same build-up a thousand times. Consistent thickness and density across the whole order matters more than the headline figure on any one sheet.
- Halls built for crowds
Large assembly and function spaces in hard concrete carry long reverberation. Speech stops being intelligible long before the room sounds obviously wrong.
- The housing stock
Villas and apartment blocks are concrete and block with hard stone or tile throughout. Mass is there, but every room is live and impact noise between floors is untreated.
- The studio and content scene
Media and content production is growing quickly, and rooms are being built inside existing commercial shells with no isolation plan. The background noise floor is usually the first problem to solve.
If you are specifying for a Mecca project, we can give you a section, a BOQ and the honest limits of each layer. See how we support architects.
04 / Conditions
Why the climate in Mecca changes the material, not the target
Mecca 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 Mecca 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
Supply into Mecca, start to site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Jeddah, then a short road run to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Jeddah |
| 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 Jeddah, then a short road run to site. 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
The things worth knowing before you place the order
-
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 Mecca 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.
Mecca: questions we are actually asked
Is there a Mecca 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 Mecca as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Jeddah, which is a short road run from the city, so large hotel quantities land without a long inland leg. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What decides the specification for a Mecca project?
In peak season somebody is always asleep and somebody is always in the corridor. Guest room isolation carries the whole guest experience, and door and corridor details cause more complaints than walls do. Work happens between seasons, on dates fixed long in advance. We give real dispatch and transit dates so the programme is not waiting on a container that will not land in time. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Is this the right material for Mecca conditions?
Mecca 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 Mecca?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Jeddah, then a short road run to site, 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.
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.
Is there a minimum order, and how does it arrive?
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.
