Venue and restaurant acoustics in Mohali
Two different jobs that get quoted as one: keeping bass inside the building for the neighbours, and making the room comfortable enough that guests can talk. Solving one does nothing for the other. 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.
- Containment
- Low frequency through structure to flats above and beside. Mass, decoupling and a sealed envelope.
- Table level comfort
- Absorption at the ceiling so guests stop raising their voices at each other.
- Entrance and service
- Doors, lobbies and extract paths, which is where most of the leakage actually is.

What you are buying, and what it fixes in Mohali
Two different jobs that get quoted as one: keeping bass inside the building for the neighbours, and making the room comfortable enough that guests can talk. Solving one does nothing for the other.
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 Mohali is mostly IT campuses, pharmaceutical plants, institutional buildings, offices, schools, clinics.
- New build, decisions still open On a new campus the ceiling and partition can be designed properly, which costs a fraction of fixing it after handover.
- Clean and controlled areas Pharmaceutical spaces where mechanical noise is a design problem rather than a comfort one.
- IT floors, hard finishes Open plans with glass and hard flooring carry every call. The ceiling plane usually has to do the work.
- Containment Low frequency through structure to flats above and beside. Mass, decoupling and a sealed envelope.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for venue soundproofing are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Mohali.

02 / The build-up
How the layers stack, from the structure inwards
-
Layer 1
SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl
A limp, high density sheet that adds mass to a partition, floor or duct without adding depth. In Mohali, agro processing and light engineering plant, with generator sets and machinery close to occupied buildings.
Floor, floating. Membrane under a resilient layer and a floating deck, so impact energy is broken before it reaches the slab.
-
Layer 2
Soundproofing materials
The blocking side of the range taken together: mass loaded vinyl, resilient layers, cavity absorption and the build-ups they belong in. In Mohali, 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.
Floating floor. Resilient layer and deck, to break impact energy before it reaches the structure.
-
Layer 3
Acoustic carpet and rugs
A tile carpet with a dense polyester face on a felt backing. In Mohali, large school and college campuses in concrete and tile, with halls carrying assembly and performance.
Zoned. Carpet in the circulation and meeting zones, hard floor elsewhere, so the treatment sits where the noise is made.
For a Mohali practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
03 / On the ground
The Mohali conditions that change the answer
- New build, decisions still open
On a new campus the ceiling and partition can be designed properly, which costs a fraction of fixing it after handover.
- Clean and controlled areas
Pharmaceutical spaces where mechanical noise is a design problem rather than a comfort one.
- IT floors, hard finishes
Open plans with glass and hard flooring carry every call. The ceiling plane usually has to do the work.
- Next day from the plant
A few hours by road, so samples and replacements are straightforward.
- 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.

Containment
Low frequency through structure to flats above and beside. Mass, decoupling and a sealed envelope. On a new campus the ceiling and partition can be designed properly, which costs a fraction of fixing it after handover.
- SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl, 2100 kg per cubic metre
- Soundproofing materials, 1800 x 900 x 20 mm, 100 kg per cubic metre, NRC 0.85
- Wooden slat acoustic panels, 2440 x 192 mm and 2440 x 128 mm
-
Table level comfort
Absorption at the ceiling so guests stop raising their voices at each other. Pharmaceutical spaces where mechanical noise is a design problem rather than a comfort one.
- SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl, STC 30, 5.25 kg per sq m
- Soundproofing materials, Mass, then decoupling, then cavity absorption, then sealing
- Wooden slat acoustic panels, 14, 16 and 18 mm
-
Entrance and service
Doors, lobbies and extract paths, which is where most of the leakage actually is. Open plans with glass and hard flooring carry every call. The ceiling plane usually has to do the work.
- SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl, STC 34, 8.4 kg per sq m
- Soundproofing materials, ASTM E90 for the barrier, ASTM C423 for the absorber
- Wooden slat acoustic panels, 96 sq ft per unit
Designers get colour, pattern and CNC options with the absorption figure attached to each. See how we work with interior designers.
04 / Climate and durability
Why the climate in Mohali changes the material, not the target
Mohali 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.
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.
06 / Before you buy
The six errors that cost the most
-
Panels on the wall as a neighbour noise solution
This is the one that comes back as a second fit-out rather than a snag.
-
A lobby with both doors able to open at once
A 6 mm undercut under a door leaves a hole the size of a brick. The wall around it is then decorative.
-
Extract ducting that bypasses every wall you built
Noise with a source is fixed at the source. Treating the receiving room is the expensive way to get a small result.
-
Treating it as a generic Mohali job
On a new campus the ceiling and partition can be designed properly, which costs a fraction of fixing it after handover.
05 / Logistics
What the route into Mohali actually looks like
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | next day |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | next day |
| 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 kilometres, normally next day on a dedicated truck.
Questions from Mohali projects
What makes venue and restaurant acoustics different in Mohali?
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. On a new campus the ceiling and partition can be designed properly, which costs a fraction of fixing it after handover.
Where should the budget go first on a Mohali project?
Containment. Low frequency through structure to flats above and beside. Mass, decoupling and a sealed envelope. Table level comfort. Absorption at the ceiling so guests stop raising their voices at each other.
Do you have an office or installation team in Mohali?
No. We manufacture in India and supply into Mohali. 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 Mohali site?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: next day, 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?
Panels on the wall as a neighbour noise solution. A lobby with both doors able to open at once.
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.
Next step
Tell us the room, we will tell you the 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.
