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 / The material
What you are buying, and what it fixes in Sydney
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 Sydney is mostly apartment developments, offices, venues, schools, clinics, studios.
Timber frame in detached housing, concrete in apartments. Apartment party walls and slabs are the source of most complaints, and impact noise needs a resilient layer.
- 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 Sydney.
02 / Specification
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.

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 / On the ground
The Sydney conditions that change the answer
- Apartments at volume
The same separating detail repeated across large developments. When it underperforms it underperforms in every unit, and that becomes a defect conversation.
- Mixed construction
Concrete frames with lightweight internal walls. The frame blocks, the partitions often do not, and people assume the opposite.
- Venues under homes
Late trading beneath apartments built around them, so the separating floor decides the hours.
- A long sea leg
One of the longer routes we run. Ordering to a real schedule matters, so we quote the full window.
- The housing stock
Timber frame in detached housing, concrete in apartments. Apartment party walls and slabs are the source of most complaints, and impact noise needs a resilient layer.
- The studio and content scene
Home and project studios go into garages and converted rooms in detached housing, where the neighbour distance helps but the room does not.
For a Sydney practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
04 / Durability
The Sydney climate decides the material list
Sydney 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.
Designers get colour, pattern and CNC options with the absorption figure attached to each. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Route to site
Supply into Sydney, start to site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Port Botany, then a short road run to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Port Botany |
| 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 Port Botany, then a short road run 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
Four honest warnings before you buy
-
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.
-
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.
-
Local approvals that nobody actually holds
We hold no Sydney certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.
Sydney: questions we are actually asked
Are these soundproof curtains made in Sydney?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Sydney as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Port Botany. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
Why would a Sydney build-up differ from anywhere else?
The same separating detail repeated across large developments. When it underperforms it underperforms in every unit, and that becomes a defect conversation. Concrete frames with lightweight internal walls. The frame blocks, the partitions often do not, and people assume the opposite. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Sydney climate affect this product?
Sydney 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.
How does an order actually travel to Sydney?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Port Botany, then a short road run 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.
When are soundproof curtains the wrong purchase?
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.
How is the order packed and what is the minimum?
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.
