Manufactured in India, supplied in Romania
Soundproofing materials in Romania
We manufacture soundproofing materials at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Romania. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Constanța, the largest port on the Black Sea, then road inland.

- One batch across the order, no blending between runs
We are the manufacturer. There is no local office and we do not claim approvals we do not hold. What you get is factory pricing, one consistent batch across the order, and a straight answer on what the material will and will not do.
01 / The material
What this is, and what it changes in a Romania room
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 Romania is mostly automotive and manufacturing plants, offices and service centres, panel block housing, schools, hospitals.
Communist era panel blocks with concrete walls and no impact isolation, plus new concrete towers with hard finishes.
- 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 Romania.

02 / The numbers
Published specification, identical wherever we ship it
The specification below is the same everywhere we supply, because a specification that changed by city would not be a specification. What changes is which grade and build-up is the right buy, and that is what the rest of this page is about.
- 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

On a Romania job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.
03 / On the ground
What we see driving Romania briefs
- Constanța is a major port
Direct sailings and good onward road connections make this one of the easier routes into central Europe.
- Manufacturing plant noise
Presses, robots and compressors are low frequency and structure-borne. Enclosure at the source rather than absorption on a far wall.
- Panel block housing
Prefabricated concrete passes speech and footfall between flats through thin connected elements. Mass is the only reliable answer.
- Service centre floors
Large rooms full of people on calls, where privacy rather than echo is the real problem.
- Plant and HVAC
District heating in older stock and split units throughout, with condensers on facades close to bedrooms.
- The housing stock
Communist era panel blocks with concrete walls and no impact isolation, plus new concrete towers with hard finishes.
For a Romania practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate and durability
The Romania climate decides the material list
Romania is cold winters and warm summers, with a wide annual temperature range, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
A wide annual swing stresses adhesive fixings and moves timber. Mechanical fixing beats adhesive alone, and PET felt is stable across the range.
The risk we design against here is adhesive failure and timber movement across the annual swing.
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
Supply into Romania, start to site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Constanța, then road inland |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Constanța |
| 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 Constanța, then road inland. Air freight for samples and urgent quantities.
06 / Straight talk
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.
-
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.
-
Local approvals that nobody actually holds
We hold no Romania certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.

Romania: questions we are actually asked
Are these soundproofing materials made in Romania?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Romania as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Constanța, the largest port on the Black Sea, then road inland. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What decides the specification for a Romania project?
Direct sailings and good onward road connections make this one of the easier routes into central Europe. Presses, robots and compressors are low frequency and structure-borne. Enclosure at the source rather than absorption on a far wall. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Will this material last in the Romania climate?
Romania is cold winters and warm summers, with a wide annual temperature range. A wide annual swing stresses adhesive fixings and moves timber. Mechanical fixing beats adhesive alone, and PET felt is stable across the range. The failure we design against here is adhesive failure and timber movement across the annual swing.
How does an order actually travel to Romania?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Constanța, then road inland, 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 should you not buy soundproofing materials for?
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.
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.
