Manufactured in India, supplied in Rishikesh
Soundproofing materials in Rishikesh

- Made at our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, India
- 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 / What it is
The material, and what it actually does on a Rishikesh 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 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.
- 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 Rishikesh.

02 / The numbers
Published specification, identical wherever we ship it
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.
- 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

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 / In this market
What decides the build-up in Rishikesh
- 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.
- 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.
- Next day from the plant
A short run, so samples arrive quickly and freight stays low.
- Plant and HVAC
Hotel plant, boilers and generator sets close to guest rooms in compact hillside buildings.
- The housing stock
RC frame houses and hotels built on slopes, with hard floors and cold external walls in the hill towns.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate and durability
Durability in Rishikesh, before acoustics is discussed
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 / Supply
Getting it to Rishikesh, with real dates
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | next day |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | next day |
| 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 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.
06 / Read this first
Where this goes wrong, said plainly
-
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.
-
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.

The material in real interiors
Rishikesh: questions we are actually asked
Where are the soundproofing materials you supply to Rishikesh actually made?
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 do you look at first on a Rishikesh enquiry?
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.
How does the Rishikesh climate affect this product?
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.
When would material land on a Rishikesh site?
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.
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 quantity do we have to order, and in what packaging?
Minimum order is confirmed with the quote. Rolls on core tubes, boards palletised, fixings and tapes listed on the same packing list.

Send what you have. We will give you a layer by layer build-up, a bill of quantities and a date material lands, and we will flag anything in the brief that will not achieve what you want.
