01 / Start here
The material, and what it actually does on a Medina 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 Medina is mostly new hotels, residential towers, assembly and function halls, offices, clinics, schools.
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 Medina.
02 / Data sheet
Published specification, identical wherever we ship it
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.

Where a consultant is already engaged on a Medina project, we supply to their specification and send the test reports rather than describing them. More on working with acoustic consultants.
03 / On the ground
What we see driving Medina briefs
- Decisions still on paper
On a new build the isolation layer costs a fraction of what it costs to retrofit. Send the drawings early and we will mark where the build-up will fail before it is built.
- Large halls, long reverberation
Big assembly spaces in concrete and stone hold sound for a long time. Absorption has to be placed where it recovers intelligibility, not spread evenly to hit a number.
- Long programmes need consistent stock
A tower fitted out over many months needs the last delivery to match the first. We hold batch consistency and tell you if a colour is changing.
- Quiet city, loud buildings
The noise that reaches guests here is rarely from the street. It is the corridor, the next room and the plant, which is a detailing problem rather than a facade problem.
- 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 Medina project, we can give you a section, a BOQ and the honest limits of each layer. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate and durability
Durability in Medina, before acoustics is discussed
Medina 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 Medina interior where the finish leads, we will say plainly what each option costs you acoustically. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Logistics
How material reaches a Medina site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Jeddah or Yanbu, then road to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Jeddah or Yanbu |
| 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.
Sea freight into Jeddah or Yanbu, then road 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 / Worth knowing
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.
-
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 Medina
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.
Medina: questions we are actually asked
Is there a Medina 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 Medina as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Jeddah or Yanbu, then road to site, with the inland leg written into the dates we quote. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What do you look at first on a Medina enquiry?
On a new build the isolation layer costs a fraction of what it costs to retrofit. Send the drawings early and we will mark where the build-up will fail before it is built. Big assembly spaces in concrete and stone hold sound for a long time. Absorption has to be placed where it recovers intelligibility, not spread evenly to hit a number. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Medina climate affect this product?
Medina 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 Medina?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Jeddah or Yanbu, then road 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.
What should you not buy soundproof curtains for?
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
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.
