Cinema and multiplex soundproofing in Siliguri
Screens stacked beside and above each other, each running full range at high level. Bleed between auditoria is the failure everyone hears, and it is decided by the shell, not the finishes. Auditoria, community halls and pandal spaces carry amplified speech and music at high level.
- Screen to screen
- Independent construction between auditoria, with services broken at the line.
- In room response
- Heavy absorption on side and rear walls so the mix is heard as intended.
- Plant and projection
- Equipment noise into the auditorium, treated at source.

01 / The product
What this is, and what it changes in a Siliguri room
Screens stacked beside and above each other, each running full range at high level. Bleed between auditoria is the failure everyone hears, and it is decided by the shell, not the finishes.
Auditoria, community halls and pandal spaces carry amplified speech and music at high level.
Work reaching us from Siliguri is mostly hotels and resorts, restaurants, hospitals, schools, offices, banquet halls.
- Humidity decides the material PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould. In a damp climate that is the difference between a finish that lasts and one that sags in two seasons.
- A distribution point, not just a destination Material often moves onward to the hills and the Northeast. We pack for a second leg on rougher roads when you tell us that is happening.
- Hotel guest rooms Corridor noise and the next room generate the complaints. Door and wall detailing does that work, not the panel in the room.
- Screen to screen Independent construction between auditoria, with services broken at the line.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for cinema soundproofing are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Siliguri.
02 / The build-up
How the layers stack, from the structure inwards
-
Layer 1
SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl
A limp, high density sheet that adds mass to a partition, floor or duct without adding depth. In Siliguri, split units, VRF outdoor banks and diesel generator sets sit close to occupied areas, often on the same terrace as a bedroom. Generator enclosure and condenser screening are the recurring jobs.
Duct and plant wrap. Membrane wrapped over the duct with a decoupling layer beneath, sealed at every lap.
-
Layer 2
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 Siliguri, auditoria, community halls and pandal spaces carry amplified speech and music at high level.
Wall array. Panels placed at first reflection points rather than spread evenly. Fewer panels, better result.
-
Layer 3
PET felt acoustic panels
A rigid non-woven panel pressed from 100% polyester fibre, a large part of it recycled. In Siliguri, long established schools and colleges in masonry with high ceilings and very large class sizes.
Over a porous backing. Panel over mineral or PET backing where the room needs genuine low mid control.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
03 / What drives the brief
The Siliguri conditions that change the answer
- Humidity decides the material
PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould. In a damp climate that is the difference between a finish that lasts and one that sags in two seasons.
- A distribution point, not just a destination
Material often moves onward to the hills and the Northeast. We pack for a second leg on rougher roads when you tell us that is happening.
- Hotel guest rooms
Corridor noise and the next room generate the complaints. Door and wall detailing does that work, not the panel in the room.
- Three to four days by road
A dedicated truck from Palwal, with the schedule confirmed before dispatch rather than estimated after.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Auditoria, community halls and pandal spaces carry amplified speech and music at high level.
04 / Room by room
What each space in a Siliguri project needs
-
Screen to screen
Independent construction between auditoria, with services broken at the line. PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould. In a damp climate that is the difference between a finish that lasts and one that sags in two seasons.
- Soundproofing materials, 2100 kg per cubic metre. 2.5 mm STC 30 at 5.25 kg per sq m, 4 mm STC 34 at 8.4, 6 mm at 12.6
- Acoustic panels, 1800 x 900 mm, image printed into the felt rather than onto a facing
- PET felt acoustic panels, 4 to 24 mm
-
In room response
Heavy absorption on side and rear walls so the mix is heard as intended. Material often moves onward to the hills and the Northeast. We pack for a second leg on rougher roads when you tell us that is happening.
- Soundproofing materials, 1800 x 900 x 20 mm, 100 kg per cubic metre, NRC 0.85
- Acoustic panels, Cut pattern in PET felt, adds visual rhythm without changing the absorber
- PET felt acoustic panels, 1220 x 2440 mm standard, 4 x 8 ft
-
Plant and projection
Equipment noise into the auditorium, treated at source. Corridor noise and the next room generate the complaints. Door and wall detailing does that work, not the panel in the room.
- Soundproofing materials, Mass, then decoupling, then cavity absorption, then sealing
- Acoustic panels, ASTM C423
- PET felt acoustic panels, 2440 x 4270 mm, 2.44 x 4.27 m, 8 x 14 ft
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.
04 / Conditions
The Siliguri climate decides the material list
Siliguri is warm and humid through most of the year, with a long wet season, and that narrows the material list before acoustics is discussed.
Humidity is the deciding factor. PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which is why it outlasts fabric-wrapped mineral wool in this climate. Wood wool and timber need a ventilated cavity behind them.
The failure we design against here is mould, sagging fabric finishes and swelling in timber.
Where a consultant is already engaged on a Siliguri project, we supply to their specification and send the test reports rather than describing them. More on working with acoustic consultants.
06 / Before you buy
Six mistakes that turn into a second fit-out
-
A shared service void running across the wall line
Square metre for square metre the ceiling is the cheapest result in the room. Skipping it and buying wall panels instead is the most common way to overspend.
-
Treating the auditorium to fix bleed from the next screen
This is the one that comes back as a second fit-out rather than a snag.
-
Doors and lobbies specified late and undersized
Soundproofing fails at the gaps, not the materials. One unsealed service penetration can undo a correctly built wall.
-
Treating it as a generic Siliguri job
PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould. In a damp climate that is the difference between a finish that lasts and one that sags in two seasons.
05 / Supply
Getting it to Siliguri, with real dates
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | three to four days |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | three to four 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 fifteen hundred kilometres, normally three to four days on a dedicated truck.
Questions from Siliguri projects
What makes cinema and multiplex soundproofing different in Siliguri?
Auditoria, community halls and pandal spaces carry amplified speech and music at high level. PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould. In a damp climate that is the difference between a finish that lasts and one that sags in two seasons.
Where should the budget go first on a Siliguri project?
Screen to screen. Independent construction between auditoria, with services broken at the line. In room response. Heavy absorption on side and rear walls so the mix is heard as intended.
Do you have an office or installation team in Siliguri?
No. We manufacture in India and supply into Siliguri. 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 Siliguri site?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: three to four 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?
A shared service void running across the wall line. Treating the auditorium to fix bleed from the next screen.
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
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.
