Hospital and healthcare acoustics in Rajkot
Two duties at once: privacy where confidential conversations happen, and a lower noise floor where people are trying to rest. Hygiene and cleanability rule out a lot of products before acoustics is even discussed. Heavy industrial plant across the state, so compressors, presses and generator sets sit close to offices and canteens inside the same building.
- Consulting room privacy
- Speech privacy between rooms, which is partition, door and ceiling void work.
- Ward noise floor
- Alarms, trolleys and staff conversation in hard corridors. Absorption at the ceiling.
- Cleanability
- Non shedding, non absorbent surfaces that survive a cleaning regime.

01 / The product
What this material is and where it earns its place in Rajkot
Two duties at once: privacy where confidential conversations happen, and a lower noise floor where people are trying to rest. Hygiene and cleanability rule out a lot of products before acoustics is even discussed.
Heavy industrial plant across the state, so compressors, presses and generator sets sit close to offices and canteens inside the same building.
Work reaching us from Rajkot is mostly foundries and machining halls, engineering units, offices, colleges, hospitals, showrooms.
- Foundry noise is structural Furnaces, hammers and heavy machine tools put energy into the floor. Isolation and mass address that, and absorption does not.
- Machining halls Continuous machine noise where instructions and alarms still have to be understood. Targeted absorption fixes intelligibility.
- Heat inside the building PET felt does not sag, shed fibre or degrade at high temperature, which matters in a foundry roof void.
- Consulting room privacy Speech privacy between rooms, which is partition, door and ceiling void work.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for healthcare acoustics are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Rajkot.
02 / The build-up
The build-up, layer by layer
-
Layer 1
Acoustic carpet and rugs
A tile carpet with a dense polyester face on a felt backing. In Rajkot, heavy industrial plant across the state, so compressors, presses and generator sets sit close to offices and canteens inside the same building.
Zoned. Carpet in the circulation and meeting zones, hard floor elsewhere, so the treatment sits where the noise is made.
-
Layer 2
SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl
A limp, high density sheet that adds mass to a partition, floor or duct without adding depth. In Rajkot, auditoriums, banquet halls and places of worship are large hard volumes in concrete and stone where speech falls apart long before anyone calls the room echoey.
Duct and plant wrap. Membrane wrapped over the duct with a decoupling layer beneath, sealed at every lap.
-
Layer 3
Acoustic panels
The full absorber range rather than one product: plain PET felt, printed felt, grooved panels and fabric finishes, chosen by how the room is used and how it has to look. In Rajkot, large school and college campuses in concrete and tile, with assembly halls and auditoria in constant use.
Wall array. Panels placed at first reflection points rather than spread evenly. Fewer panels, better result.
Architects working in Rajkot usually need the build-up before the product. We will draw the section and mark what does the work. See how we support architects.
03 / What drives the brief
The Rajkot conditions that change the answer
- Foundry noise is structural
Furnaces, hammers and heavy machine tools put energy into the floor. Isolation and mass address that, and absorption does not.
- Machining halls
Continuous machine noise where instructions and alarms still have to be understood. Targeted absorption fixes intelligibility.
- Heat inside the building
PET felt does not sag, shed fibre or degrade at high temperature, which matters in a foundry roof void.
- Two to three days by road
A dedicated truck from Palwal, with samples sent ahead of the order.
- Plant and HVAC
Heavy industrial plant across the state, so compressors, presses and generator sets sit close to offices and canteens inside the same building.

Room by room, on a typical Rajkot job
-
Consulting room privacy
Speech privacy between rooms, which is partition, door and ceiling void work. Furnaces, hammers and heavy machine tools put energy into the floor. Isolation and mass address that, and absorption does not.
- PET felt acoustic panels, 100% PET non-woven, no added binder
- Ceiling baffles and clouds, 9 to 24 mm
- SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl, STC 34, 8.4 kg per sq m
-
Ward noise floor
Alarms, trolleys and staff conversation in hard corridors. Absorption at the ceiling. Continuous machine noise where instructions and alarms still have to be understood. Targeted absorption fixes intelligibility.
- PET felt acoustic panels, 9, 12, 18 and 24 mm standard, tolerance plus or minus 5 percent
- Ceiling baffles and clouds, Made to the drawing, standard and custom
- SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl, 12.6 kg per sq m, STC on request
-
Cleanability
Non shedding, non absorbent surfaces that survive a cleaning regime. PET felt does not sag, shed fibre or degrade at high temperature, which matters in a foundry roof void.
- PET felt acoustic panels, 4 to 24 mm
- Ceiling baffles and clouds, Both faces work, which is why suspended area outperforms the same area laid flat
- SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl, 5 x 1.2 m, 6 sq m per roll
Designers get colour, pattern and CNC options with the absorption figure attached to each. See how we work with interior designers.
04 / Climate
Durability in Rajkot, before acoustics is discussed
Rajkot is hot and dry for most of the year, with dust and high daytime surface temperatures, and that narrows the material list before acoustics is 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 failure we design against here is dust ingress and thermal movement in long runs.
On a Rajkot job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.
06 / Before you buy
What we watch go wrong on jobs like this
-
Fabric wrapped products in a clinical area
Noise with a source is fixed at the source. Treating the receiving room is the expensive way to get a small result.
-
Absorption used where privacy was the requirement
Nobody has ever achieved speech privacy with a panel. Privacy needs mass, a sealed head detail and a door that actually closes.
-
Ceiling void left open above a partition
The ceiling is almost always the largest untreated surface, so leaving it out means paying for panels that cannot reach the target.
-
Treating it as a generic Rajkot job
Furnaces, hammers and heavy machine tools put energy into the floor. Isolation and mass address that, and absorption does not.
05 / Getting it there
Supply into Rajkot, start to site
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | two to three days |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | two to three days |
| Support | Drawings, build-ups, BOQ and material that arrives complete |
Standard items dispatch in 2 to 4 working days from our plant at Palwal. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
By road from Palwal, roughly one thousand kilometres, normally two to three days on a dedicated truck.
Questions from Rajkot projects
What makes hospital and healthcare acoustics different in Rajkot?
Heavy industrial plant across the state, so compressors, presses and generator sets sit close to offices and canteens inside the same building. Furnaces, hammers and heavy machine tools put energy into the floor. Isolation and mass address that, and absorption does not.
Where should the budget go first on a Rajkot project?
Consulting room privacy. Speech privacy between rooms, which is partition, door and ceiling void work. Ward noise floor. Alarms, trolleys and staff conversation in hard corridors. Absorption at the ceiling.
Do you have an office or installation team in Rajkot?
No. We manufacture in India and supply into Rajkot. We give you drawings, build-ups, a BOQ and material that arrives complete, and we will tell you plainly when a job needs a local contractor we cannot be.
How does material get to a Rajkot site?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: two to three days, dispatch: 2 to 4 working days. Standard items dispatch in 2 to 4 working days from our plant at Palwal. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
What goes wrong most often on this kind of project?
Fabric wrapped products in a clinical area. Absorption used where privacy was the requirement.
What do you need from us to quote?
A plan, a section through the critical partition or ceiling, and what the room is for. From that we can give a build-up and a BOQ rather than a price per square foot.
Next step
Send a plan and a section, get a real build-up
We quote from drawings, not from a square foot rate. Send a plan and the section through the critical wall or ceiling and you will get something you can actually build from.
