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

- 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 / The product
What this is, and what it changes in a Thailand room
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 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.
- 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 Thailand.

02 / Specification
Published specification, identical wherever we ship it
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

Consultants get the raw data, not a sales sheet. That is the whole of our side of the job, and it is set out under working with acoustic consultants.
03 / Local conditions
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.
- Plant and HVAC
Split units and VRF with condensers on balconies and in light wells, running at full load most of the year.
- The housing stock
Concrete frame with block infill and hard tile floors throughout. Condominium party walls and slabs pass impact noise directly.
Architects working in Thailand 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 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.
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 / Supply
How material reaches a Thailand site
| 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, 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 Laem Chabang, then road to site. Air freight for samples and urgent quantities.
06 / Before you buy
Where this goes wrong, said plainly
-
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 Thailand 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
Thailand: questions we are actually asked
Where are the soundproofing materials 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.
Does Thailand weather shorten the life of this material?
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.
How does an order actually travel to 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.
What will soundproofing materials 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. 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
Drawings in, BOQ and a delivered date out
A plan and a section is enough. We will come back with a build-up, a BOQ and a delivered date, and we will say so if what you are asking for will not work.
