Manufactured in India, supplied in Sweden
Soundproofing materials in Sweden
We manufacture soundproofing materials 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.

- One batch across the order, no blending between runs
We make this ourselves and ship it to you. No local branch, no borrowed certifications, no dealer margin. One batch across the whole order, and an honest answer when the product is wrong for the problem.
01 / What it is
The product, described honestly, for a Sweden brief
The blocking side of the range taken together: mass loaded vinyl, resilient layers, cavity absorption and the build-ups they belong in. This is the page for someone whose problem is noise getting through, not a room that sounds wrong.
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.
- Independent leaf A second wall that does not touch the first. Nothing else comes close for the money.
- Resilient bar Where a full independent leaf will not fit. Effective, and very easy to short circuit with one wrong screw.
- Floating floor Resilient layer and deck, to break impact energy before it reaches the structure.
- What it will not do Soundproofing fails at the gaps, not the materials. A service penetration, a back to back socket, or a door undercut will undo a correctly built wall.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for our soundproofing materials are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Sweden.

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.

- Standard partition4 mm membrane on an independent leaf. The common specification
- Heavy6 mm membrane and full decoupling. Plant, machine enclosure, low frequency

Where a consultant is already engaged on a Sweden project, we supply to their specification and send the test reports rather than describing them. More on working with acoustic consultants.
03 / In this market
What we see driving Sweden briefs
- Timber at scale
Sweden builds tall in timber, and timber is light. Low frequency passes easily, so mass and decoupling do the work.
- 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.
- 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.
- Plant and HVAC
Balanced mechanical ventilation with heat recovery running through long heating seasons, so duct noise is constant.
- The housing stock
Concrete apartment blocks and timber frame housing with tight envelopes, hard floors and cold external walls.
If you are specifying for a Sweden project, we can give you a section, a BOQ and the honest limits of each layer. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate
Durability in Sweden, before acoustics is discussed
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.
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 / Supply
Getting it to Sweden, with real dates
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Gothenburg, then road onward to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Gothenburg |
| Packing | Rolls on core tubes, boards palletised, fixings and tapes listed on the same packing list. |
| Lead time | 4 to 7 working days for stock items. |
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.
06 / Straight talk
The things worth knowing before you place the order
-
The wrong product for the problem
Soundproofing fails at the gaps, not the materials. A service penetration, a back to back socket, or a door undercut will undo a correctly built wall. We would rather spend the conversation on the detail than on the product.
-
A number chased without a measurement
If nobody has measured the room or set a target, the specification is a guess with a decimal point in it. We will ask for the target before we quote the quantity.
-
Suppliers who imply a Sweden presence
Ask any supplier where the material is made and who carries the warranty. We make it at Palwal in Haryana and we say so on every page, including this one.

The product on finished jobs
Sweden: questions we are actually asked
Do you manufacture soundproofing materials in Sweden?
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 do you look at first on a Sweden enquiry?
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.
Does Sweden weather shorten the life of this material?
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 soundproofing materials fail to help?
Soundproofing fails at the gaps, not the materials. A service penetration, a back to back socket, or a door undercut will undo a correctly built wall. We would rather spend the conversation on the detail than on the product.
What is the minimum order and how is it packed?
Minimum order is confirmed with the quote. Rolls on core tubes, boards palletised, fixings and tapes listed on the same packing list.

Tell us the room, we will tell you the 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.
