Manufactured in India, supplied in Portugal
Soundproofing materials in Portugal
We manufacture soundproofing materials at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Portugal. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Sines, Lisbon or Leixões, with deep water capacity on the Atlantic coast keeping the sea leg simple.

- One batch across the order, no blending between runs
We make this ourselves and ship it to you. No local branch, no borrowed certifications, no dealer margin. One batch across the whole order, and an honest answer when the product is wrong for the problem.
01 / Start here
The material, and what it actually does on a Portugal job
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 Portugal is mostly hotel and apartment conversions, restaurants, offices, clinics, schools, studios.
Masonry and concrete blocks with tile and stone floors, in buildings that share walls and courtyards.
- 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 Portugal.

02 / Data sheet
The numbers, and they do not move by city
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.
- Light retrofit2.5 mm membrane. Where depth is not available
- Standard partition4 mm membrane on an independent leaf. The common specification
- Heavy6 mm membrane and full decoupling. Plant, machine enclosure, low frequency

Where a consultant is already engaged on a Portugal project, we supply to their specification and send the test reports rather than describing them. More on working with acoustic consultants.
03 / Local conditions
The Portugal conditions that change the answer
- Timber floors in old buildings
Footfall passes straight down through the joists. A resilient layer under the new finish does more than anything applied to the ceiling below.
- Conversion, not construction
The structure is staying. Whatever we propose has to work inside the depth and the finishes that are already there, which rules out most thick framed systems.
- Atlantic damp
Our PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which matters on cold external walls in a mild wet climate where mineral products sag.
- Tourism programmes have fixed dates
Hotel openings do not move. We give honest dispatch and transit windows so the fit-out is not waiting on a container.
- Plant and HVAC
Split units with condensers in courtyards and light wells, plus seasonal heating in cold damp winters.
- The housing stock
Masonry and concrete blocks with tile and stone floors, in buildings that share walls and courtyards.
For a Portugal practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate
Why the climate in Portugal changes the material, not the target
Portugal 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.
For a Portugal interior where the finish leads, we will say plainly what each option costs you acoustically. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Route to site
What the route into Portugal actually looks like
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Sines, Lisbon or Leixões, then road to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Sines or Lisbon |
| 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 4 to 7 working days. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
Sea freight into Sines, Lisbon or Leixões, then road to site. Air freight for samples and urgent quantities.
06 / Worth knowing
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.
-
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 Portugal 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.

Portugal: questions we are actually asked
Is there a Portugal 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 Portugal as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Sines, Lisbon or Leixões, with deep water capacity on the Atlantic coast keeping the sea leg simple. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
Why would a Portugal build-up differ from anywhere else?
The structure is staying. Whatever we propose has to work inside the depth and the finishes that are already there, which rules out most thick framed systems. Footfall passes straight down through the joists. A resilient layer under the new finish does more than anything applied to the ceiling below. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Does Portugal weather shorten the life of this material?
Portugal 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.
When would material land on a Portugal site?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Sines, Lisbon or Leixões, 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 will soundproofing materials 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. We would rather spend the conversation on the detail than on the product.
What is the minimum order and how is it packed?
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
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.
