Manufactured in India, supplied in Sweden
Soundproof curtains in Sweden
We manufacture soundproof curtains at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Sweden. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Gothenburg, then road onward, with the domestic leg quoted separately because Sweden is a long country.

This comes from our own plant, not a trading desk. We do not have an office in your city and we will not invent one. What we can give you is factory pricing, consistent material and a technical answer before you commit.
01 / The material
What this is, and what it changes in a Sweden room
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 Sweden is mostly timber buildings and apartments, offices, schools, healthcare, hotels, studios.
Concrete apartment blocks and timber frame housing with tight envelopes, hard floors and cold external walls.
- 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 Sweden.
02 / Data sheet
Published specification, identical wherever we ship it
We publish one data sheet for every market. If a supplier quotes you a different figure for the same product in a different city, one of the two numbers is wrong.

On a Sweden job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.
03 / In this market
What decides the build-up in Sweden
- Classes are written and verified
Projects arrive with a class and someone checks it afterwards. Send us the target and we will say where our material sits against it.
- Timber at scale
Sweden builds tall in timber, and timber is light. Low frequency passes easily, so mass and decoupling do the work.
- Sealed through a long winter
Ventilation runs constantly in closed buildings, so plant noise matters more than street noise.
- A long country
A site in the north has a real domestic leg. We quote it separately so the dates are honest.
- The housing stock
Concrete apartment blocks and timber frame housing with tight envelopes, hard floors and cold external walls.
- The studio and content scene
A very deep music production culture where absorption data and measured targets are expected.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate and durability
What the Sweden climate rules in and rules out
Sweden is cool and damp, with long heating seasons and cold external walls, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even 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 risk we design against here is condensation behind linings in older, poorly insulated stock.
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 Sweden, start to site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Gothenburg, then road onward to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Gothenburg |
| 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. The sea leg from India is long, so plan the full door to door window into the programme. We give real dates, not optimistic ones.
Sea freight into Gothenburg, then road onward 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 / Worth knowing
What we will tell you that a reseller will not
-
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.
-
Local approvals that nobody actually holds
We hold no Sweden certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.
Sweden: questions we are actually asked
Is there a Sweden factory behind this product?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Sweden as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Gothenburg, then road onward, with the domestic leg quoted separately because Sweden is a long country. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What changes the specification on a Sweden job?
Projects arrive with a class and someone checks it afterwards. Send us the target and we will say where our material sits against it. Sweden builds tall in timber, and timber is light. Low frequency passes easily, so mass and decoupling do the work. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Will this material last in the Sweden climate?
Sweden is cool and damp, with long heating seasons and cold external walls. 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.
How quickly can material reach a site in Sweden?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Gothenburg, then road onward to site, dispatch: 4 to 7 working days. Standard items dispatch in 4 to 7 working days. The sea leg from India is long, so plan the full door to door window into the programme. We give real dates, not optimistic ones.
Where do soundproof curtains fail to help?
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 quantity do we have to order, and in what packaging?
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.
Next step
Send the drawings, get a straight answer
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.
