Recording studio acoustics and soundproofing in Slovenia
Two jobs that must not be confused: keeping the building out, and making the room honest inside. The first is mass and decoupling and has to be built first. The second is absorption and diffusion and can be tuned later. A small but serious recording sector working to measured targets inside existing buildings.
- Isolation
- A measured background level, agreed before anything is bought.
- Low frequency
- Corner and boundary absorption with real depth, not surface foam.
- Early reflections
- Controlled at the mix position, and only there.

01 / The material
What you are buying, and what it fixes in Slovenia
Two jobs that must not be confused: keeping the building out, and making the room honest inside. The first is mass and decoupling and has to be built first. The second is absorption and diffusion and can be tuned later.
A small but serious recording sector working to measured targets inside existing buildings.
Work reaching us from Slovenia is mostly timber and alpine buildings, hotels, offices, schools, manufacturing, hospitals.
- Timber construction Light structures pass low frequency easily, so mass and decoupling do the work rather than more absorption.
- 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.
- Alpine hospitality Resort refurbishment happens in a short window between seasons, so real dates matter more than a marginally better price.
- Isolation A measured background level, agreed before anything is bought.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for studio soundproofing are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Slovenia.
02 / The build-up
What goes where, from the structure in
-
Layer 1
SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl
A limp, high density sheet that adds mass to a partition, floor or duct without adding depth. In Slovenia, mechanical ventilation in newer buildings and radiators in older stock, with split units throughout.
Floor, floating. Membrane under a resilient layer and a floating deck, so impact energy is broken before it reaches the slab.
-
Layer 2
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, church buildings, civic halls and auditoria are hard volumes with long reverberation.
Independent leaf. A second wall that does not touch the first. Nothing else comes close for the money.
-
Layer 3
Soundproof curtains
A layered curtain with a mass loaded vinyl core, used where an opening has to stay an opening. In Slovenia, school buildings are hard surfaced with long corridors, and gymnasiums double as assembly halls.
Full height with return. Curtain taken floor to soffit with a side return and an overlap, because the gap is what leaks, not the fabric.
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 / On the ground
What we see driving Slovenia briefs
- Timber construction
Light structures pass low frequency easily, so mass and decoupling do the work rather than more absorption.
- 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.
- 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.
- The housing stock
Masonry and concrete construction with hard floors, in blocks and detached housing with cold external walls.
- The studio and content scene
A small but serious recording sector working to measured targets inside existing buildings.
04 / Room by room
Where the money goes on a Slovenia project
-
Isolation
A measured background level, agreed before anything is bought. Light structures pass low frequency easily, so mass and decoupling do the work rather than more absorption.
- SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl, 2100 kg per cubic metre
- 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
-
Low frequency
Corner and boundary absorption with real depth, not surface foam. 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, STC 30, 5.25 kg per sq m
- Soundproofing materials, Mass, then decoupling, then cavity absorption, then sealing
- Acoustic panels, ASTM C423
-
Early reflections
Controlled at the mix position, and only there. 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
- Soundproofing materials, ASTM E90 for the barrier, ASTM C423 for the absorber
- Acoustic panels, 9 to 24 mm, 1220 x 2440 mm standard, up to 2440 x 4270 mm, 1200 to 3600 GSM
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
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.
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.
06 / Before you buy
The six errors that cost the most
-
Buying foam to solve an isolation problem
It sounds like a small detail until the room is finished and the complaint arrives.
-
Treating the room before the shell is isolated
It sounds like a small detail until the room is finished and the complaint arrives.
-
Killing the room completely and calling it controlled
More absorption is not better absorption. Past the target the room goes flat and people raise their voices to compensate.
-
Treating it as a generic Slovenia job
Light structures pass low frequency easily, so mass and decoupling do the work rather than more absorption.
05 / Logistics
Supply into Slovenia, start to site
| 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 recording studio acoustics and soundproofing different in Slovenia?
A small but serious recording sector working to measured targets inside existing buildings. 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?
Isolation. A measured background level, agreed before anything is bought. Low frequency. Corner and boundary absorption with real depth, not surface foam.
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?
Buying foam to solve an isolation problem. Treating the room before the shell is isolated.
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
A plan and a section is enough. We will come back with a build-up, a BOQ and a delivered date, and we will say so if what you are asking for will not work.
