Soundproofing materials in Switzerland
We manufacture soundproofing materials at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Switzerland. Made at our own plant in India and routed through Rotterdam or Antwerp, then rail inland.

- ASTM E90 for the barrier, ASTM C423 for the absorber
- Made at our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, India
- 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 Switzerland 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 Switzerland is mostly apartments, offices, alpine hotels, schools, clinics, studios, timber buildings.
Concrete and masonry construction built to a high standard, with good mass and very hard internal finishes.
- 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 Switzerland.

02 / Data sheet
One specification sheet, the same in every market
Nothing below changes by location. The decisions that do change are grade, thickness and how the material is mounted, and those are covered further down.
- Light retrofit2.5 mm membrane. Where depth is not available
- Standard partition4 mm membrane on an independent leaf. The common specification
- Heavy6 mm membrane and full decoupling. Plant, machine enclosure, low frequency

On a Switzerland job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.
03 / On the ground
What we see driving Switzerland briefs
- Timber construction at scale
Switzerland builds a lot in timber, and timber is light. Low frequency passes easily, so mass and decoupling do the work, not more absorption.
- Landlocked, so plan the inland leg
Rotterdam or Antwerp, then rail. We quote the sea leg and the inland leg separately so the programme runs on real dates.
- The tolerance is zero
If the sheet does not perform, you will find out and so will we. That is why we quote what the material does rather than what would win the order.
- Floor area is extremely expensive
Every centimetre a wall grows into the room is paid for. A dense membrane with a resilient break usually beats a thick framed build-up on both depth and cost.
- Plant and HVAC
Mechanical ventilation with heat recovery is standard, so duct and terminal unit noise are the sources.
- The housing stock
Concrete and masonry construction built to a high standard, with good mass and very hard internal finishes.
Architects working in Switzerland 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 / Climate
What the Switzerland climate rules in and rules out
Switzerland 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.
For a Switzerland interior where the finish leads, we will say plainly what each option costs you acoustically. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Getting it there
How material reaches a Switzerland site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Rotterdam or Antwerp, then rail and road inland |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Rotterdam, then rail |
| 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. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
Sea freight into Rotterdam or Antwerp, then rail and road inland. Air freight for samples and urgent quantities.
06 / Before you buy
What we will tell you that a reseller will not
-
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 Switzerland 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 material in real interiors
Switzerland: questions we are actually asked
Are these soundproofing materials made in Switzerland?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Switzerland as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and routed through Rotterdam or Antwerp, then rail inland. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What do you look at first on a Switzerland enquiry?
If the sheet does not perform, you will find out and so will we. That is why we quote what the material does rather than what would win the order. Every centimetre a wall grows into the room is paid for. A dense membrane with a resilient break usually beats a thick framed build-up on both depth and cost. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Is this the right material for Switzerland conditions?
Switzerland 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 does an order actually travel to Switzerland?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Rotterdam or Antwerp, then rail and road inland, 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 soundproofing materials for?
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.
Is there a minimum order, and how does it arrive?
Minimum order is confirmed with the quote. Rolls on core tubes, boards palletised, fixings and tapes listed on the same packing list.
Next step
Tell us the room, we will tell you the build-up
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.
