01 / What it is
The product, described honestly, for a Nigeria brief
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 Nigeria is mostly places of assembly, offices, hotels, generator and plant enclosures, schools, hospitals.
Concrete and block construction with hard floors. Estates and apartment blocks sit close together with generators between them.
- 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 Nigeria.
02 / The numbers
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.
- Standard5.5 kg per sq m. Openings, stages, temporary partitions

Where a consultant is already engaged on a Nigeria project, we supply to their specification and send the test reports rather than describing them. More on working with acoustic consultants.
03 / In this market
The Nigeria conditions that change the answer
- Humid and hot
PET felt does not hold moisture or feed mould, which matters where mineral products sag within a couple of seasons.
- Generators are a permanent condition
Standby generation runs constantly in many buildings and sits close to occupied space. Enclosure and mass, not absorption, is the answer.
- Very large assembly halls
Congregations in the thousands in hard concrete volumes. Intelligibility fails long before anyone describes the room as echoey.
- Port congestion is real
Lagos can be slow to clear. We quote a realistic window rather than a best case, and we will say if another port suits you better.
- The housing stock
Concrete and block construction with hard floors. Estates and apartment blocks sit close together with generators between them.
- The studio and content scene
A very large music and film industry working out of rooms inside commercial and residential buildings with constant generator noise.
For a Nigeria practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
04 / Conditions
Durability in Nigeria, before acoustics is discussed
Nigeria 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.
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 Nigeria, with real dates
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Lagos or Onne, then road to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Lagos or Onne |
| 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. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
Sea freight into Lagos or Onne, then road to site. Air freight for samples 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 / Before you buy
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.
-
A claim of being local to Nigeria
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.
Nigeria: questions we are actually asked
Is there a Nigeria factory behind this product?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Nigeria as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Lagos or Onne. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What changes the specification on a Nigeria job?
Standby generation runs constantly in many buildings and sits close to occupied space. Enclosure and mass, not absorption, is the answer. Congregations in the thousands in hard concrete volumes. Intelligibility fails long before anyone describes the room as echoey. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Is this the right material for Nigeria conditions?
Nigeria 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.
What is the delivery time into Nigeria?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Lagos or Onne, 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 soundproof curtains for?
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.
Next step
Tell us the room, we will tell you the build-up
Send what you have. We will give you a layer by layer build-up, a bill of quantities and a date material lands, and we will flag anything in the brief that will not achieve what you want.
