Manufactured in India, supplied in Miami
Soundproof curtains in Miami
We manufacture soundproof curtains at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Miami. Made at our own plant in India and shipped straight into PortMiami, so the container lands in the city rather than a day of trucking away.

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 / Start here
What this is, and what it changes in a Miami 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 Miami is mostly condo towers, hotels and lounges, restaurants, offices, clinics, home theatres.
American homes are timber frame with gypsum board on both faces, so a party wall or a basement ceiling has almost no mass. Adding a second leaf with a limp membrane between does more than any amount of surface treatment.
- 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 Miami.
02 / Specification
The published figures, unchanged by location
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.

Consultants get the raw data, not a sales sheet. That is the whole of our side of the job, and it is set out under working with acoustic consultants.
03 / In this market
What the buildings in Miami do to the specification
- Heat and humidity
Our PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which matters in a climate where mineral products sag and hold damp.
- Concrete towers, hard interiors
The structure has mass, so airborne transfer between units is usually not the issue. Reverberation inside glass, tile and terrazzo rooms is, and that is a treatment job.
- Impact noise through slabs
Hard flooring over a concrete slab passes footfall straight down. A resilient underlay is the fix, and it has to go in before the finish, not after the complaint.
- The port is in the city
Containers land at PortMiami and reach site the same day, which is the practical reason a factory in India competes here on landed cost.
- The housing stock
American homes are timber frame with gypsum board on both faces, so a party wall or a basement ceiling has almost no mass. Adding a second leaf with a limp membrane between does more than any amount of surface treatment.
- The studio and content scene
Home and project studios go into basements and converted garages with equipment budgets far ahead of the building. The room leaks to the floor above long before it sounds wrong inside.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate
What the Miami climate rules in and rules out
Miami is hot dry summers and mild wet winters, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
The swing between a dry summer and a wet winter moves timber. PET felt is dimensionally stable across that swing; slat panels want a stable substrate and a ventilated fixing.
The risk we design against here is seasonal movement in timber and winter damp in unheated stock.
Designers get colour, pattern and CNC options with the absorption figure attached to each. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Getting it there
How material reaches a Miami site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | PortMiami, then a short road run to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea into PortMiami |
| 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. The sea leg from India is long, so plan the full door to door window into the programme. We give real dates, not optimistic ones.
Sea freight direct into PortMiami, then a short road run to site. Air freight for samples, approvals 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
What we will tell you that a reseller will not
-
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.
-
Local approvals that nobody actually holds
We hold no Miami certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.
Miami: questions we are actually asked
Where are the soundproof curtains you supply to Miami actually made?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Miami as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped straight into PortMiami, so the container lands in the city rather than a day of trucking away. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What changes the specification on a Miami job?
The structure has mass, so airborne transfer between units is usually not the issue. Reverberation inside glass, tile and terrazzo rooms is, and that is a treatment job. Hard flooring over a concrete slab passes footfall straight down. A resilient underlay is the fix, and it has to go in before the finish, not after the complaint. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Is this the right material for Miami conditions?
Miami is hot dry summers and mild wet winters. The swing between a dry summer and a wet winter moves timber. PET felt is dimensionally stable across that swing; slat panels want a stable substrate and a ventilated fixing. The failure we design against here is seasonal movement in timber and winter damp in unheated stock.
When would material land on a Miami site?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: PortMiami, then a short road run to site, dispatch: 4 to 7 working days. Standard items dispatch in 4 to 7 working days. The sea leg from India is long, so plan the full door to door window into the programme. We give real dates, not optimistic ones.
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?
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.
