Cinema and multiplex soundproofing in Slovenia
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. Church buildings, civic halls and auditoria are hard volumes with long reverberation.
- 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.
- Quote
- From a plan and a section, within 48 hours

The product, described honestly, for a Slovenia brief
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.
Church buildings, civic halls and auditoria are hard volumes with long reverberation.
Work reaching us from Slovenia is mostly timber and alpine buildings, hotels, offices, schools, manufacturing, hospitals.
- The port is the country Koper is a short run from almost everywhere in Slovenia, and it is a route we already operate constantly. That keeps cost and timing predictable.
- Timber construction Light structures pass low frequency easily, so mass and decoupling do the work rather than more absorption.
- Alpine hospitality Resort refurbishment happens in a short window between seasons, so real dates matter more than a marginally better price.
- 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 Slovenia.
02 / The build-up
The stack, in the order it is installed
-
Layer 1
Soundproofing materials
The blocking side of the range taken together: mass loaded vinyl, resilient layers, cavity absorption and the build-ups they belong in. In Slovenia, mechanical ventilation in newer buildings and radiators in older stock, with split units throughout.
Resilient bar. Where a full independent leaf will not fit. Effective, and very easy to short circuit with one wrong screw.
-
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 Slovenia, church buildings, civic halls and auditoria are hard volumes with long reverberation.
Mixed finish. Plain felt where it is out of eye line, printed or grooved where it is seen.
-
Layer 3
PET felt acoustic panels
A rigid non-woven panel pressed from 100% polyester fibre, a large part of it recycled. In Slovenia, school buildings are hard surfaced with long corridors, and gymnasiums double as assembly halls.
Direct to wall. Panel bonded or mechanically fixed flat to the substrate. Simplest, and the weakest at low frequency.
Architects working in Slovenia usually need the build-up before the product. We will draw the section and mark what does the work. See how we support architects.
03 / Local conditions
What the buildings in Slovenia do to the specification
- The port is the country
Koper is a short run from almost everywhere in Slovenia, and it is a route we already operate constantly. That keeps cost and timing predictable.
- Timber construction
Light structures pass low frequency easily, so mass and decoupling do the work rather than more absorption.
- Alpine hospitality
Resort refurbishment happens in a short window between seasons, so real dates matter more than a marginally better price.
- Specified carefully
Work here arrives with numbers attached. Send us the target and we will say plainly what our material reaches.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Church buildings, civic halls and auditoria are hard volumes with long reverberation.
04 / Room by room
Space by space, for Slovenia briefs
-
Screen to screen
Independent construction between auditoria, with services broken at the line. Koper is a short run from almost everywhere in Slovenia, and it is a route we already operate constantly. That keeps cost and timing predictable.
- SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl, 2100 kg per cubic metre
- 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. Light structures pass low frequency easily, so mass and decoupling do the work rather than more absorption.
- SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl, STC 30, 5.25 kg per sq m
- 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. Resort refurbishment happens in a short window between seasons, so real dates matter more than a marginally better price.
- SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl, STC 34, 8.4 kg per sq m
- Acoustic panels, ASTM C423
- PET felt acoustic panels, 2440 x 4270 mm, 2.44 x 4.27 m, 8 x 14 ft
For a Slovenia interior where the finish leads, we will say plainly what each option costs you acoustically. See how we work with interior designers.
04 / Climate and durability
Why the climate in Slovenia changes the material, not the target
Slovenia is cool and damp, with long heating seasons and cold external walls, and that narrows the material list before acoustics is discussed.
Cold wall build-ups and long heating seasons mean interstitial condensation is a real risk behind any lining. PET felt is unaffected by damp air and will not feed mould where a fabric-faced mineral product would.
The failure we design against here is condensation behind linings in older, poorly insulated stock.
Where a consultant is already engaged on a Slovenia project, we supply to their specification and send the test reports rather than describing them. More on working with acoustic consultants.
06 / Read this first
What we watch go wrong on jobs like this
-
A shared service void running across the wall line
The ceiling is almost always the largest untreated surface, so leaving it out means paying for panels that cannot reach the target.
-
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
A 6 mm undercut under a door leaves a hole the size of a brick. The wall around it is then decorative.
-
Treating it as a generic Slovenia job
Koper is a short run from almost everywhere in Slovenia, and it is a route we already operate constantly. That keeps cost and timing predictable.
05 / Getting it there
What the route into Slovenia actually looks like
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Koper, then a short road run to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea into Koper |
| Support | Drawings, build-ups, BOQ and material that arrives complete |
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 direct into Koper, then a short road run to site. Air freight for samples and urgent quantities.
Questions from Slovenia projects
What makes cinema and multiplex soundproofing different in Slovenia?
Church buildings, civic halls and auditoria are hard volumes with long reverberation. Koper is a short run from almost everywhere in Slovenia, and it is a route we already operate constantly. That keeps cost and timing predictable.
Where should the budget go first on a Slovenia 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 Slovenia?
No. We manufacture in India and supply into Slovenia. 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 Slovenia site?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Koper, then a short road run to site, 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 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
Drawings in, BOQ and a delivered date out
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.
