Manufactured in India, supplied in Qatar
SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl in Qatar
We manufacture soundBlanket mass loaded vinyl at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Qatar. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Hamad Port, a short run from western India, then a short road leg to almost anywhere in the country.

This comes from our own plant, not a trading desk. We do not have an office in your city and we will not invent one. What we can give you is factory pricing, consistent material and a technical answer before you commit.
01 / What it is
The product, described honestly, for a Qatar brief
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 Qatar is mostly venues and event spaces, hotels, towers and apartments, offices, hospitals, schools.
Towers and compound villas in concrete and block with stone floors. Rooms are live and impact noise passes straight through the slab.
- 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 Qatar.
02 / Specification
The numbers, and they do not move by city
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.
- 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

On a Qatar job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.
03 / Local conditions
The Qatar conditions that change the answer
- A short sea leg and a short road leg
Hamad Port is close to India by sea and close to everywhere by road, which makes the landed cost unusually predictable.
- Venues and assembly at scale
Large event and assembly spaces where amplified sound and intelligible speech both have to work in the same room.
- Sealed against extreme heat
Buildings stay closed with heavy cooling all year. Mechanical noise accumulates and rooms stay live.
- New concrete construction
The structure carries mass, so the recurring problem is reverberation inside and impact through slabs rather than airborne transfer.
- The housing stock
Towers and compound villas in concrete and block with stone floors. Rooms are live and impact noise passes straight through the slab.
- The studio and content scene
Broadcast and production work sits inside commercial buildings where plant noise sets the achievable floor.
If you are specifying for a Qatar project, we can give you a section, a BOQ and the honest limits of each layer. See how we support architects.
04 / Conditions
The Qatar climate decides the material list
Qatar 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.
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 / Logistics
Getting it to Qatar, with real dates
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Hamad Port, then a short road run to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Hamad Port |
| 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 Hamad Port, then a short road run to site. 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 / Straight talk
Where this goes wrong, said plainly
-
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.
-
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.
-
Suppliers who imply a Qatar 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.
Qatar: questions we are actually asked
Where are the soundBlanket mass loaded vinyl you supply to Qatar actually made?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Qatar as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Hamad Port, a short run from western India, then a short road leg to almost anywhere in the country. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What changes the specification on a Qatar job?
Hamad Port is close to India by sea and close to everywhere by road, which makes the landed cost unusually predictable. Large event and assembly spaces where amplified sound and intelligible speech both have to work in the same room. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Qatar climate affect this product?
Qatar 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 Qatar?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Hamad Port, then a short road run 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 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.
