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 material, and what it actually does on a Rishikesh job
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 Rishikesh is mostly meditation and yoga halls, retreat accommodation, ashrams, hotels, cafes, clinics.
RC frame houses and hotels built on slopes, with hard floors and cold external walls in the hill towns.
- 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 Rishikesh.
02 / Data sheet
The numbers, and they do not move by city
These figures are published and they do not move. The thing worth arguing about is not the number on the sheet, it is which grade and which build-up suits the room you are treating.
- Standard5.5 kg per sq m. Openings, stages, temporary partitions

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 Rishikesh
- Quiet is the product
Guests come specifically for stillness, so a corridor or neighbour audible in a retreat room is a failure of the offering rather than a comfort issue.
- Halls for practice and teaching
Rooms used for chanting, instruction and silence in turn. The design has to serve a very wide range of levels.
- River and road outside
Traffic and river noise reach rooms through openings and glazing, which is a facade question before it is a wall question.
- Next day from the plant
A short run, so samples arrive quickly and freight stays low.
- The housing stock
RC frame houses and hotels built on slopes, with hard floors and cold external walls in the hill towns.
- The studio and content scene
Very little purpose built studio work. Most demand is hotel entertainment space and small content rooms inside existing hillside buildings.
For a Rishikesh practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
04 / Durability
Why the climate in Rishikesh changes the material, not the target
Rishikesh is hot summers, mild winters and a distinct wet season, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
PET felt handles the wet months without absorbing moisture or feeding mould. Timber and wood wool want a ventilated cavity and a stable indoor RH.
The risk we design against here is wet-season humidity behind linings.
For a Rishikesh interior where the finish leads, we will say plainly what each option costs you acoustically. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Getting it there
How material reaches a Rishikesh site
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | next day |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | next day |
| Packing | Rolled and bagged with track and fixings listed separately. |
| Lead time | Made to size. Confirmed at quote. |
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 three hundred kilometres, normally next day on a dedicated truck.
5 curtains.
| Any size | 5 pieces |

Curtains are made to size, so the minimum is counted in pieces rather than area.

Four honest warnings before you buy
-
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.
-
Coverage bought instead of a target
Lining every surface is a purchase, not a result. We would rather calculate the area against a reverberation target and sell you less of it.
-
Local approvals that nobody actually holds
We hold no Rishikesh certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.
Rishikesh: questions we are actually asked
Is there a Rishikesh 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 Rishikesh as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Rishikesh sells quiet. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What changes the specification on a Rishikesh job?
Guests come specifically for stillness, so a corridor or neighbour audible in a retreat room is a failure of the offering rather than a comfort issue. Rooms used for chanting, instruction and silence in turn. The design has to serve a very wide range of levels. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Does Rishikesh weather shorten the life of this material?
Rishikesh is hot summers, mild winters and a distinct wet season. PET felt handles the wet months without absorbing moisture or feeding mould. Timber and wood wool want a ventilated cavity and a stable indoor RH. The failure we design against here is wet-season humidity behind linings.
How quickly can material reach a site in Rishikesh?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: next day, 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.
Where do soundproof curtains fail to help?
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?
5 curtains. 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.

Send the drawings, get a straight answer
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.
