Manufactured in India, supplied in Thailand
SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl in Thailand
We manufacture soundBlanket mass loaded vinyl at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Thailand. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Laem Chabang, then road to site, with the inland leg quoted rather than left out.

01 / Start here
The product, described honestly, for a Thailand brief
A limp, high density sheet that adds mass to a partition, floor or duct without adding depth. It is the barrier product, not an absorber, and it is the right answer when the problem is noise passing through a structure.
Work reaching us from Thailand is mostly industrial estates and plant, resorts and hotels, offices, hospitals, schools, studios.
Concrete frame with block infill and hard tile floors throughout. Condominium party walls and slabs pass impact noise directly.
- Wall, decoupled Independent stud, membrane between the boards, cavity absorption, two boards. The membrane is one part of a system, never the whole answer.
- Floor, floating Membrane under a resilient layer and a floating deck, so impact energy is broken before it reaches the slab.
- Duct and plant wrap Membrane wrapped over the duct with a decoupling layer beneath, sealed at every lap.
- What it will not do Mass fixed hard to an existing wall gives far less than the same mass on an independent leaf. If we are told the wall cannot be thickened, we will say what the membrane will and will not achieve rather than quote the laboratory figure and let the site find out.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for SoundBlanket MLV are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Thailand.
02 / Specification
The numbers, and they do not move by city
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.
- 2.5 mmSTC 30, 5.25 kg per sq m. Ducts, light partitions, retrofit where depth is tight
- 4 mmSTC 34, 8.4 kg per sq m. Party walls, floors, plant rooms, the common specification
- 6 mm12.6 kg per sq m. Machine enclosures and low frequency problems
| Density | 2100 kg per cubic metre |
|---|---|
| 2.5 mm | STC 30, 5.25 kg per sq m |
| 4 mm | STC 34, 8.4 kg per sq m |
| 6 mm | 12.6 kg per sq m, STC on request |
| Roll size | 5 x 1.2 m, 6 sq m per roll |

Where a consultant is already engaged on a Thailand project, we supply to their specification and send the test reports rather than describing them. More on working with acoustic consultants.
03 / On the ground
The Thailand conditions that change the answer
- Two different markets
Industrial estate work is enclosure and mass. Resort work is guest room isolation and function room acoustics. We quote them differently because they are different problems.
- Heat and humidity all year
PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which matters where mineral products sag in a tropical climate.
- Cooling plant never stops
Large continuous cooling loads next to occupied space generate more complaints than anything happening inside the room.
- Resort programmes have fixed dates
Openings do not move. We give honest dispatch and transit windows rather than optimistic ones.
- The housing stock
Concrete frame with block infill and hard tile floors throughout. Condominium party walls and slabs pass impact noise directly.
- The studio and content scene
A large content and music production scene works out of rooms inside commercial buildings with thin partitions.
If you are specifying for a Thailand project, we can give you a section, a BOQ and the honest limits of each layer. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate and durability
What the Thailand climate rules in and rules out
Thailand is warm and humid through most of the year, with a long wet season, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
Humidity is the deciding factor. PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which is why it outlasts fabric-wrapped mineral wool in this climate. Wood wool and timber need a ventilated cavity behind them.
The risk we design against here is mould, sagging fabric finishes and swelling in timber.
For a Thailand interior where the finish leads, we will say plainly what each option costs you acoustically. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Supply
What the route into Thailand actually looks like
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Laem Chabang, then road to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Laem Chabang |
| Packing | Rolls on core tubes, wrapped and end capped, 5 x 1.2 m. Weights on the packing list, because a full roll is heavy and site access matters. |
| Lead time | 4 to 7 working days. Full container quantities scheduled against the vessel. |
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 Laem Chabang, then road to site. Air freight for samples and urgent quantities.
The same minimums apply on export as on domestic orders.
| 2.5 mm and 4 mm | 10 rolls, 60 sq m |
|---|---|
| 6 mm and other thicknesses | 10 tonnes per thickness |
A SoundBlanket roll is 5 x 1.2 m, which is 6 sq m. At 2100 kg per cubic metre a roll weighs about 31.5 kg at 2.5 mm and about 50.4 kg at 4 mm, so a 10 roll minimum is 60 sq m and roughly 315 kg at 2.5 mm or 504 kg at 4 mm.
06 / Worth knowing
Where this goes wrong, said plainly
-
The wrong product for the problem
Mass fixed hard to an existing wall gives far less than the same mass on an independent leaf. If we are told the wall cannot be thickened, we will say what the membrane will and will not achieve rather than quote the laboratory figure and let the site find out.
-
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 Thailand certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.
Thailand: questions we are actually asked
Where are the soundBlanket mass loaded vinyl you supply to Thailand actually made?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Thailand as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Laem Chabang, then road to site, with the inland leg quoted rather than left out. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
Why would a Thailand build-up differ from anywhere else?
Industrial estate work is enclosure and mass. Resort work is guest room isolation and function room acoustics. We quote them differently because they are different problems. PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which matters where mineral products sag in a tropical climate. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Will this material last in the Thailand climate?
Thailand is warm and humid through most of the year, with a long wet season. Humidity is the deciding factor. PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which is why it outlasts fabric-wrapped mineral wool in this climate. Wood wool and timber need a ventilated cavity behind them. The failure we design against here is mould, sagging fabric finishes and swelling in timber.
What is the delivery time into Thailand?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Laem Chabang, 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.
When are soundBlanket mass loaded vinyl the wrong purchase?
Mass fixed hard to an existing wall gives far less than the same mass on an independent leaf. If we are told the wall cannot be thickened, we will say what the membrane will and will not achieve rather than quote the laboratory figure and let the site find out.
How is the order packed and what is the minimum?
The same minimums apply on export as on domestic orders. 2.5 mm and 4 mm, 10 rolls, 60 sq m. 6 mm and other thicknesses, 10 tonnes per thickness. A SoundBlanket roll is 5 x 1.2 m, which is 6 sq m. At 2100 kg per cubic metre a roll weighs about 31.5 kg at 2.5 mm and about 50.4 kg at 4 mm, so a 10 roll minimum is 60 sq m and roughly 315 kg at 2.5 mm or 504 kg at 4 mm. Rolls on core tubes, wrapped and end capped, 5 x 1.2 m. Weights on the packing list, because a full roll is heavy and site access matters.
