Manufactured in India, supplied in Poland
SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl in Poland
We manufacture soundBlanket mass loaded vinyl at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Poland. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Gdansk or Gdynia, then road inland, which keeps the landed cost competitive against European production.

We are the manufacturer. There is no local office and we do not claim approvals we do not hold. What you get is factory pricing, one consistent batch across the order, and a straight answer on what the material will and will not do.
01 / What it is
The material, and what it actually does on a Poland job
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 Poland is mostly production halls, warehouses, offices, apartments, schools, clinics, hotels.
Panel block housing with concrete walls that carry mass but no impact isolation, alongside new concrete towers with hard finishes.
- 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 Poland.
02 / Specification 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

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 / On the ground
What decides the build-up in Poland
- Quoting against local manufacture
Poland makes a lot of building material itself. We win on container pricing and on being able to answer for what is in the product, not on being cheapest by a margin nobody believes.
- Industrial and logistics buildings
Production halls and warehouses need mass and isolation around plant, and absorption only where speech and alarms have to be understood.
- Panel block housing
Prefabricated concrete blocks pass footfall and speech between flats through thin, well connected elements. Surface treatment will not fix that.
- Direct sea into Gdansk
Containers come straight to the Baltic coast rather than through another country, which shortens the chain and keeps the date reliable.
- The housing stock
Panel block housing with concrete walls that carry mass but no impact isolation, alongside new concrete towers with hard finishes.
- The studio and content scene
A growing production and content sector fitting rooms into panel blocks and converted commercial buildings.
Architects working in Poland usually need the build-up before the product. We will draw the section and mark what does the work. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate and durability
Durability in Poland, before acoustics is discussed
Poland is cool and damp, with long heating seasons and cold external walls, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
Cold wall build-ups and long heating seasons mean interstitial condensation is a real risk behind any lining. PET felt is unaffected by damp air and will not feed mould where a fabric-faced mineral product would.
The risk we design against here is condensation behind linings in older, poorly insulated stock.
If the visual is fixed and the room still has to perform, that is a solvable problem and a conversation worth having early. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Getting it there
Supply into Poland, start to site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Gdansk or Gdynia, then road inland |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Gdansk |
| 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 Gdansk or Gdynia, then road inland. 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.

The things worth knowing before you place the order
-
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.

Suppliers who imply a Poland presence
Ask any supplier where the material is made and who carries the warranty. We make it at Palwal in Haryana and we say so on every page, including this one.
Poland: questions we are actually asked
Are these soundBlanket mass loaded vinyl made in Poland?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Poland as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Gdansk or Gdynia, then road inland, which keeps the landed cost competitive against European production. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What do you look at first on a Poland enquiry?
Poland makes a lot of building material itself. We win on container pricing and on being able to answer for what is in the product, not on being cheapest by a margin nobody believes. Production halls and warehouses need mass and isolation around plant, and absorption only where speech and alarms have to be understood. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Will this material last in the Poland climate?
Poland is cool and damp, with long heating seasons and cold external walls. Cold wall build-ups and long heating seasons mean interstitial condensation is a real risk behind any lining. PET felt is unaffected by damp air and will not feed mould where a fabric-faced mineral product would. The failure we design against here is condensation behind linings in older, poorly insulated stock.
What is the delivery time into Poland?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Gdansk or Gdynia, then road inland, 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 will soundBlanket mass loaded vinyl 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.
What quantity do we have to order, and in what packaging?
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.

Drawings in, BOQ and a delivered date out
A plan and a section is enough. We will come back with a build-up, a BOQ and a delivered date, and we will say so if what you are asking for will not work.
