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 / Start here
The product, described honestly, for a Warsaw 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 Warsaw is mostly tower office floors, service centres, residential towers, hotels, schools, clinics.
Panel block housing with concrete walls that carry mass but no impact isolation, alongside new concrete towers with hard finishes.
- 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 Warsaw.
02 / Specification
One specification sheet, the same in every market
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 |
| Form | Limp sheet, cuts with a knife, seams lapped and sealed |
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
What we see driving Warsaw briefs
- Residential towers going up fast
New apartment towers share slabs and walls. Footfall and speech between units is easier to solve on the drawing than after the tenants arrive.
- Floors full of people talking
Service centres and call floors put hundreds of simultaneous conversations in one room. Absorption alone will not deliver privacy there. Ceiling, screens and layout have to work together.
- A very large office pipeline
Warsaw builds office space at a pace few European cities match, which means the same detail repeated across many floors and buildings. Consistency across the order is the whole value.
- New towers, hard surfaces
Glass, raised floors and exposed slabs give sound nowhere to land, so the ceiling plane has to carry the room.
- The housing stock
Panel block housing with concrete walls that carry mass but no impact isolation, alongside new concrete towers with hard finishes.
- The studio and content scene
A growing production and content sector fitting rooms into panel blocks and converted commercial buildings.
For a Warsaw practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate
The Warsaw climate decides the material list
Warsaw 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 Warsaw interior where the finish leads, we will say plainly what each option costs you acoustically. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Supply
Getting it to Warsaw, with real dates
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Gdansk, then road to Warsaw |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Gdansk |
| 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 Gdansk, then road to Warsaw. 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.

Four honest warnings before you buy
-
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.
-
Square footage quoted before the room is understood
Anyone can price a wall. Working out how much material the room actually needs usually reduces the order, which is why not everyone does it.
-
Suppliers who imply a Warsaw 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.
Warsaw: questions we are actually asked
Where are the soundBlanket mass loaded vinyl you supply to Warsaw actually made?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Warsaw as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Gdansk, then road to the city, with the inland leg written into the dates we quote. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What changes the specification on a Warsaw job?
Service centres and call floors put hundreds of simultaneous conversations in one room. Absorption alone will not deliver privacy there. Ceiling, screens and layout have to work together. Warsaw builds office space at a pace few European cities match, which means the same detail repeated across many floors and buildings. Consistency across the order is the whole value. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Is this the right material for Warsaw conditions?
Warsaw 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 Warsaw?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Gdansk, then road to Warsaw, 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.
What is the minimum order and how is it packed?
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.
