Manufactured in India, supplied in Riyadh
Soundproofing materials in Riyadh
We manufacture soundproofing materials at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Riyadh. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Dammam, then road inland to Riyadh.

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 / The product
What this material is and where it earns its place in Riyadh
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 Riyadh is mostly government and corporate buildings, hotels, large developments, hospitals, schools, auditoriums.
Villas and apartment blocks are concrete and block with hard stone or tile throughout. Mass is there, but every room is live and impact noise between floors is untreated.
- 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 Riyadh.

02 / Specification
The published figures, unchanged by location
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

Consultants get the raw data, not a sales sheet. That is the whole of our side of the job, and it is set out under working with acoustic consultants.
03 / What drives the brief
The Riyadh conditions that change the answer
- Inland, so plan the road leg
Dammam then several hundred kilometres by road. We quote the sea leg and the inland leg separately so the programme runs on real dates.
- Very large single orders
Development-scale work means the same detail repeated across many buildings. Batch consistency matters more than the figure on any one sheet.
- Heat and sealed buildings
Closed up with heavy cooling all year. Plant noise has nowhere to escape and rooms stay hard and live inside.
- Assembly and briefing spaces
Large halls in concrete and stone where speech stops being intelligible well before the room sounds obviously wrong.
- Plant and HVAC
Cooling runs year round at high load, so chillers, AHUs and large duct runs are constant sources. Plant room lining and duct attenuation carry most of the result.
- The housing stock
Villas and apartment blocks are concrete and block with hard stone or tile throughout. Mass is there, but every room is live and impact noise between floors is untreated.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate and durability
What the Riyadh climate rules in and rules out
Riyadh 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.
Interior designers tend to arrive with the look already decided. We will tell you which finish gets there without losing the acoustics. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Logistics
How material reaches a Riyadh site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Dammam, then road inland to Riyadh |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Dammam, then road |
| 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 Dammam, then road inland to Riyadh. Air freight for samples and urgent quantities.
06 / Straight talk
Four honest warnings before you buy
-
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.
-
Local approvals that nobody actually holds
We hold no Riyadh certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.

Riyadh: questions we are actually asked
Where are the soundproofing materials you supply to Riyadh actually made?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Riyadh as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Dammam, then road inland to Riyadh. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What do you look at first on a Riyadh enquiry?
Dammam then several hundred kilometres by road. We quote the sea leg and the inland leg separately so the programme runs on real dates. Development-scale work means the same detail repeated across many buildings. Batch consistency matters more than the figure on any one sheet. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Will this material last in the Riyadh climate?
Riyadh 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.
How quickly can material reach a site in Riyadh?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Dammam, then road inland to Riyadh, 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.
Where do soundproofing materials fail to help?
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.
How is the order packed and what is the minimum?
Minimum order is confirmed with the quote. Rolls on core tubes, boards palletised, fixings and tapes listed on the same packing list.
