Manufactured in India, supplied in Mumbai
Soundproofing materials in Mumbai
We manufacture soundproofing materials at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Mumbai. Mumbai gives us the smallest rooms and the hardest briefs in the country.

- BassBloc
- 1800 x 900 x 20 mm, 100 kg per cubic metre, NRC 0.85
- Principle
- Mass, then decoupling, then cavity absorption, then sealing
- Test standards
- ASTM E90 for the barrier, ASTM C423 for the absorber
- Lead time
- 4 to 7 working days for stock items
- ASTM E90 for the barrier, ASTM C423 for the absorber
- Made at our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, India
- One batch across the order, no blending between runs
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
The product, described honestly, for a Mumbai brief
The blocking side of the range taken together: mass loaded vinyl, resilient layers, cavity absorption and the build-ups they belong in. This is the page for someone whose problem is noise getting through, not a room that sounds wrong.
Work reaching us from Mumbai is mostly recording studios, offices, flats and redevelopment towers, restaurants, clinics, schools.
Towers and chawls side by side, in RC frame with tile floors. Redevelopment stock shares slabs and lift cores, and monsoon damp rules out anything that holds moisture.
- Independent leaf A second wall that does not touch the first. Nothing else comes close for the money.
- Resilient bar Where a full independent leaf will not fit. Effective, and very easy to short circuit with one wrong screw.
- Floating floor Resilient layer and deck, to break impact energy before it reaches the structure.
- What it will not do Soundproofing fails at the gaps, not the materials. A service penetration, a back to back socket, or a door undercut will undo a correctly built wall.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for our soundproofing materials are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Mumbai.

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.

On a Mumbai job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.
03 / In this market
The Mumbai conditions that change the answer
- Every centimetre is paid for
At Mumbai rates a wall that grows a hundred millimetres into the room costs real money. A dense membrane with a resilient break usually beats a thick framed build-up here.
- The studio capital
More recording and dubbing rooms per square kilometre than anywhere else we supply. They sit inside occupied buildings, so isolation comes before tuning, always.
- Monsoon damp defeats the wrong material
PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould. Mineral products sag here within a couple of seasons.
- Redevelopment, built fast
Old buildings replaced by towers on tight programmes. Acoustic detail is easy to lose unless it is specified before the slab is poured.
- Plant and HVAC
Split units, VRF outdoor banks and diesel generator sets sit close to occupied areas, often on the same terrace as a bedroom. Generator enclosure and condenser screening are the recurring jobs.
- The housing stock
Towers and chawls side by side, in RC frame with tile floors. Redevelopment stock shares slabs and lift cores, and monsoon damp rules out anything that holds moisture.
If you are specifying for a Mumbai project, we can give you a section, a BOQ and the honest limits of each layer. See how we support architects.
04 / Conditions
The Mumbai climate decides the material list
Mumbai is warm and humid through most of the year, with a long wet season, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
Humidity is the deciding factor. PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which is why it outlasts fabric-wrapped mineral wool in this climate. Wood wool and timber need a ventilated cavity behind them.
The risk we design against here is mould, sagging fabric finishes and swelling in timber.
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 Mumbai site
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | three to four days |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | three to four days |
| Packing | Rolls on core tubes, boards palletised, fixings and tapes listed on the same packing list. |
| Lead time | 4 to 7 working days for stock items. |
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 fourteen hundred kilometres, normally three to four days on a dedicated truck.

The things worth knowing before you place the order
-
The wrong product for the problem
Soundproofing fails at the gaps, not the materials. A service penetration, a back to back socket, or a door undercut will undo a correctly built wall. We would rather spend the conversation on the detail than on the product.
-
Coverage bought instead of a target
Lining every surface is a purchase, not a result. We would rather calculate the area against a reverberation target and sell you less of it.
-
A claim of being local to Mumbai
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.

The material in real interiors
Mumbai: questions we are actually asked
Where are the soundproofing materials you supply to Mumbai actually made?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Mumbai as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Mumbai gives us the smallest rooms and the hardest briefs in the country. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What do you look at first on a Mumbai enquiry?
At Mumbai rates a wall that grows a hundred millimetres into the room costs real money. A dense membrane with a resilient break usually beats a thick framed build-up here. More recording and dubbing rooms per square kilometre than anywhere else we supply. They sit inside occupied buildings, so isolation comes before tuning, always. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Does Mumbai weather shorten the life of this material?
Mumbai is warm and humid through most of the year, with a long wet season. Humidity is the deciding factor. PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which is why it outlasts fabric-wrapped mineral wool in this climate. Wood wool and timber need a ventilated cavity behind them. The failure we design against here is mould, sagging fabric finishes and swelling in timber.
When would material land on a Mumbai site?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: three to four days, 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.
Where do soundproofing materials fail to help?
Soundproofing fails at the gaps, not the materials. A service penetration, a back to back socket, or a door undercut will undo a correctly built wall. We would rather spend the conversation on the detail than on the product.
Is there a minimum order, and how does it arrive?
Minimum order is confirmed with the quote. Rolls on core tubes, boards palletised, fixings and tapes listed on the same packing list.

Drawings in, BOQ and a delivered date out
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.
