Soundproof curtains in South Korea
We manufacture soundproof curtains at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into South Korea. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Busan or Incheon, both well served, then road to site.

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 / Start here
What you are buying, and what it fixes in South Korea
A layered curtain with a mass loaded vinyl core, used where an opening has to stay an opening. It is the answer for a doorway, a stage, a partition that must move, not a substitute for a wall.
Work reaching us from South Korea is mostly apartment towers, manufacturing plants, offices, hotels, schools, studios.
Reinforced concrete apartment towers with underfloor heating and hard floors. Impact noise between floors is the single biggest residential complaint.
- 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.
- Track with a seal Ceiling track plus a floor seal or drape, so the perimeter is closed when it is drawn.
- Double layer at a doorway Two curtains with an air gap where a single layer will not reach the target.
- What it will not do A curtain is only as good as its perimeter. Hung short, hung flat against a frame, or with a gap at the side, it will measure nothing like the figure on the sheet.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for soundproof curtains are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in South Korea.
02 / Data sheet
The published figures, unchanged by location
These figures are published and they do not move. The thing worth arguing about is not the number on the sheet, it is which grade and which build-up suits the room you are treating.
- Standard5.5 kg per sq m. Openings, stages, temporary partitions

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.
03 / Local conditions
What the buildings in South Korea do to the specification
- Noise between floors is the issue
Impact from the flat above is the defining residential complaint in this market. It is a floor build-up question, and a ceiling treatment below will not answer it.
- Concrete towers throughout
The structure carries mass, so airborne transfer is rarely the problem. Structure-borne and impact paths are.
- Precise expectations
Specifications here are written carefully and checked. Send us the target and we will say plainly what our material reaches.
- Two strong ports
Busan and Incheon are both well served from India, so we route to whichever suits the site.
- The housing stock
Reinforced concrete apartment towers with underfloor heating and hard floors. Impact noise between floors is the single biggest residential complaint.
- The studio and content scene
A very large music and content industry with rooms built inside commercial buildings to measured targets.
Architects working in South Korea usually need the build-up before the product. We will draw the section and mark what does the work. See how we support architects.
04 / Conditions
The South Korea climate decides the material list
South Korea is hot summers, mild winters and a distinct wet season, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
PET felt handles the wet months without absorbing moisture or feeding mould. Timber and wood wool want a ventilated cavity and a stable indoor RH.
The risk we design against here is wet-season humidity behind linings.
If the visual is fixed and the room still has to perform, that is a solvable problem and a conversation worth having early. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Route to site
How material reaches a South Korea site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Busan or Incheon, then road to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Busan |
| Packing | Rolled and bagged with track and fixings listed separately. |
| Lead time | Made to size. Confirmed at quote. |
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 Busan or Incheon, then road to site. Air freight for samples and urgent quantities.
The same 5 piece minimum applies on export.
| Any size | 5 pieces |
|---|
Curtains are made to size, so the minimum is counted in pieces rather than area.
06 / Before you buy
The things worth knowing before you place the order
-
The wrong product for the problem
A curtain is only as good as its perimeter. Hung short, hung flat against a frame, or with a gap at the side, it will measure nothing like the figure on the sheet. We quote the detail, not just the fabric.
-
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.

A claim of being local to South Korea
We manufacture in India and supply here. We do not run an office in this city and we will not pretend to, because you would find out on the first site visit.
South Korea: questions we are actually asked
Where are the soundproof curtains you supply to South Korea actually made?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into South Korea as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Busan or Incheon, both well served, then road to site. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What do you look at first on a South Korea enquiry?
Impact from the flat above is the defining residential complaint in this market. It is a floor build-up question, and a ceiling treatment below will not answer it. The structure carries mass, so airborne transfer is rarely the problem. Structure-borne and impact paths are. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the South Korea climate affect this product?
South Korea is hot summers, mild winters and a distinct wet season. PET felt handles the wet months without absorbing moisture or feeding mould. Timber and wood wool want a ventilated cavity and a stable indoor RH. The failure we design against here is wet-season humidity behind linings.
What is the delivery time into South Korea?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Busan or Incheon, then road 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 should you not buy soundproof curtains for?
A curtain is only as good as its perimeter. Hung short, hung flat against a frame, or with a gap at the side, it will measure nothing like the figure on the sheet. We quote the detail, not just the fabric.
What is the minimum order and how is it packed?
The same 5 piece minimum applies on export. Any size, 5 pieces. Curtains are made to size, so the minimum is counted in pieces rather than area. Rolled and bagged with track and fixings listed separately.
