Manufactured in India, supplied in Muscat
SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl in Muscat
We manufacture soundBlanket mass loaded vinyl at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Muscat. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Sohar or Salalah, both short runs from western India, then road to site.

01 / Start here
What you are buying, and what it fixes in Muscat
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 Muscat is mostly hotels and resorts, government and corporate buildings, villas, hospitals, schools, auditoriums.
Villas and low rise blocks in concrete and block with stone or tile floors. Mass is present, impact noise between floors and live rooms are not addressed.
- 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 Muscat.
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.
- 2.5 mmSTC 30, 5.25 kg per sq m. Ducts, light partitions, retrofit where depth is tight
- 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
| Density | 2100 kg per cubic metre |

On a Muscat job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.
03 / In this market
What the buildings in Muscat do to the specification
- Stone and masonry interiors
Hard surfaces in generous volumes hold sound for a long time, so ceiling absorption usually does most of the work.
- Heat and coastal humidity
PET felt does not hold moisture, sag or feed mould, which matters where mineral products fail quickly.
- A short sea leg
Western India to Omani ports is a quick run, which keeps lead times realistic and makes repeat orders practical.
- Design led hospitality
Resorts here are judged on how they look as much as how they perform. Colour consistency across a full order is part of the job.
- The housing stock
Villas and low rise blocks in concrete and block with stone or tile floors. Mass is present, impact noise between floors and live rooms are not addressed.
- The studio and content scene
A small but growing production sector fitting rooms into existing commercial shells where the background noise floor decides the outcome.
For a Muscat practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate
The Muscat climate decides the material list
Muscat 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.
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 / Route to site
What the route into Muscat actually looks like
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Sohar or Salalah, then road to Muscat |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Sohar or Salalah |
| 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 Sohar or Salalah, then road to Muscat. 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.
06 / Worth knowing
Four honest warnings before you buy
-
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.
-
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.
-
Local approvals that nobody actually holds
We hold no Muscat certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.
Muscat: questions we are actually asked
Do you manufacture soundBlanket mass loaded vinyl in Muscat?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Muscat as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Sohar or Salalah, both short runs from western India, then road to site. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What changes the specification on a Muscat job?
Western India to Omani ports is a quick run, which keeps lead times realistic and makes repeat orders practical. Resorts here are judged on how they look as much as how they perform. Colour consistency across a full order is part of the job. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Will this material last in the Muscat climate?
Muscat 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.
What is the delivery time into Muscat?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Sohar or Salalah, then road to Muscat, 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.
When are soundBlanket mass loaded vinyl the wrong purchase?
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.
