Manufactured in India, supplied in Morocco
SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl in Morocco
We manufacture soundBlanket mass loaded vinyl at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Morocco. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Tanger Med or Casablanca, both busy and well connected, then road to site.

01 / The material
What this material is and where it earns its place in Morocco
A limp, high density sheet that adds mass to a partition, floor or duct without adding depth. It is the barrier product, not an absorber, and it is the right answer when the problem is noise passing through a structure.
Work reaching us from Morocco is mostly manufacturing plants, hotels and riads, offices, restaurants, schools, hospitals.
Concrete and block construction with tile and zellige floors, in blocks around courtyards that reflect sound between homes.
- Wall, decoupled Independent stud, membrane between the boards, cavity absorption, two boards. The membrane is one part of a system, never the whole answer.
- Floor, floating Membrane under a resilient layer and a floating deck, so impact energy is broken before it reaches the slab.
- Duct and plant wrap Membrane wrapped over the duct with a decoupling layer beneath, sealed at every lap.
- What it will not do Mass fixed hard to an existing wall gives far less than the same mass on an independent leaf. If we are told the wall cannot be thickened, we will say what the membrane will and will not achieve rather than quote the laboratory figure and let the site find out.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for SoundBlanket MLV are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Morocco.
02 / Data sheet
The published figures, unchanged by location
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.

- 4 mmSTC 34, 8.4 kg per sq m. Party walls, floors, plant rooms, the common specification
- 6 mm12.6 kg per sq m. Machine enclosures and low frequency problems

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.
03 / In this market
What decides the build-up in Morocco
- Two very different markets
Automotive and component plants need enclosure and mass. Hospitality in older buildings needs shallow internal work. We quote them differently.
- Traditional buildings, hard surfaces
Tile, stone and plaster in tall rooms hold sound for a long time, and the structure usually cannot be altered.
- Tanger Med is a major hub
Frequent sailings and good onward connections make this one of the easier African routes to plan around.
- Hot and dry inland, humid on the coast
PET felt is stable in both and does not sag, shed fibre or hold moisture.
- The housing stock
Concrete and block construction with tile and zellige floors, in blocks around courtyards that reflect sound between homes.
- The studio and content scene
A growing film and production sector using converted buildings with good mass and hard surfaces.
For a Morocco practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate
What the Morocco climate rules in and rules out
Morocco 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.
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.
05 / Supply
Getting it to Morocco, with real dates
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Tanger Med or Casablanca, then road to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Tanger Med |
| Packing | Rolls on core tubes, wrapped and end capped, 5 x 1.2 m. Weights on the packing list, because a full roll is heavy and site access matters. |
| Lead time | 4 to 7 working days. Full container quantities scheduled against the vessel. |
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 Tanger Med or Casablanca, then road to site. Air freight for samples and urgent quantities.
The same minimums apply on export as on domestic orders.
| 2.5 mm and 4 mm | 10 rolls, 60 sq m |
|---|---|
| 6 mm and other thicknesses | 10 tonnes per thickness |
A SoundBlanket roll is 5 x 1.2 m, which is 6 sq m. At 2100 kg per cubic metre a roll weighs about 31.5 kg at 2.5 mm and about 50.4 kg at 4 mm, so a 10 roll minimum is 60 sq m and roughly 315 kg at 2.5 mm or 504 kg at 4 mm.

What we will tell you that a reseller will not
-
The wrong product for the problem
Mass fixed hard to an existing wall gives far less than the same mass on an independent leaf. If we are told the wall cannot be thickened, we will say what the membrane will and will not achieve rather than quote the laboratory figure and let the site find out.
-
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.
-
Local approvals that nobody actually holds
We hold no Morocco certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.
Morocco: questions we are actually asked
Do you manufacture soundBlanket mass loaded vinyl in Morocco?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Morocco as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Tanger Med or Casablanca, both busy and well connected, then road to site. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What do you look at first on a Morocco enquiry?
Automotive and component plants need enclosure and mass. Hospitality in older buildings needs shallow internal work. We quote them differently. Tile, stone and plaster in tall rooms hold sound for a long time, and the structure usually cannot be altered. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Morocco climate affect this product?
Morocco 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.
What is the delivery time into Morocco?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Tanger Med or Casablanca, 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, not after.
What should you not buy soundBlanket mass loaded vinyl for?
Mass fixed hard to an existing wall gives far less than the same mass on an independent leaf. If we are told the wall cannot be thickened, we will say what the membrane will and will not achieve rather than quote the laboratory figure and let the site find out.
How is the order packed and what is the minimum?
The same minimums apply on export as on domestic orders. 2.5 mm and 4 mm, 10 rolls, 60 sq m. 6 mm and other thicknesses, 10 tonnes per thickness. A SoundBlanket roll is 5 x 1.2 m, which is 6 sq m. At 2100 kg per cubic metre a roll weighs about 31.5 kg at 2.5 mm and about 50.4 kg at 4 mm, so a 10 roll minimum is 60 sq m and roughly 315 kg at 2.5 mm or 504 kg at 4 mm. Rolls on core tubes, wrapped and end capped, 5 x 1.2 m. Weights on the packing list, because a full roll is heavy and site access matters.
