Manufactured in India, supplied in Agra
Wooden slat acoustic panels in Agra
We manufacture wooden slat acoustic panels at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Agra. Agra is a hotel city with a footwear and leather industry behind it, and both come to us for very different reasons.

- One batch across the order, no blending between runs
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 / What it is
The product, described honestly, for a Agra brief
Timber slats on an acoustic backing. The slats are the finish and the rhythm, the backing does the absorbing. Used where the room has to look considered rather than treated.
Work reaching us from Agra is mostly hotels and guest houses, footwear and leather units, restaurants, offices, schools, clinics.
Independent houses and builder flats in brick and RC frame, often built floor by floor for different households, so the slab between them was never detailed as a separation.
- Slats on felt backing The standard. Absorption comes from the backing behind the gaps, so the slat gap ratio is an acoustic decision, not only a visual one.
- Slats on a cavity Backing plus an air gap behind moves absorption lower, which matters in music rooms.
- Feature wall only Slats where they are seen, plain felt elsewhere, to hold the budget where it shows.
- What it will not do A tight slat pattern looks denser but absorbs less, because the open area is what lets sound reach the backing. If the visual you want and the RT target you need pull apart, we will tell you which one the pattern is serving.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for wooden slat panels are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Agra.
02 / Specification
The published figures, unchanged by location
These figures are published and they do not move. The thing worth arguing about is not the number on the sheet, it is which grade and which build-up suits the room you are treating.
- MDFStandard. Dry interiors, general commercial
- FR MDFFire rated. Public buildings and anywhere the specification calls for a class
- HDHMRMoisture resistant. Humid climates and rooms that see damp
| Substrate | MDF, FR MDF, HDF or HDHMR |

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 / In this market
What decides the build-up in Agra
- Guest rooms fail at the door
Corridor noise and the room next door generate more complaints than room acoustics ever do. Door and partition detailing does that work.
- Footwear and leather units
Machinery and presses running long shifts close to occupied areas. Enclosure at the source rather than lining the hall.
- Dense old city access
Narrow lanes near the heritage area mean a lorry often cannot reach the door. Tell us and we break the pallets down.
- Next day from the plant
A short run, so freight stays cheap and samples reach you quickly.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Banquet halls, marriage lawns and auditoria are large hard volumes where amplified speech and music run late into the night.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Durability
Why the climate in Agra changes the material, not the target
Agra 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.
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 / Route to site
What the route into Agra actually looks like
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | next day |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | next day |
| Packing | Braced crates, slats supported along their length. Timber moves, so crates are kept flat and dry. |
| Lead time | Longer than felt. Confirmed against the pattern and substrate at quote stage. |
Standard items dispatch in 2 to 4 working days from our plant at Palwal. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
By road from Palwal, roughly one hundred and eighty kilometres, normally next day on a dedicated truck.
500 sq ft, about 46 sq m, whatever the substrate, pattern, width or thickness.
| Any specification | 500 sq ft, about 46 sq m |
|---|
One unit covers 96 sq ft, so the minimum is a little over five units. Substrate, slat pattern, width and thickness can be mixed inside the same order.

Four honest warnings before you buy
-
The wrong product for the problem
A tight slat pattern looks denser but absorbs less, because the open area is what lets sound reach the backing. If the visual you want and the RT target you need pull apart, we will tell you which one the pattern is serving.
-
Coverage bought instead of a target
Lining every surface is a purchase, not a result. We would rather calculate the area against a reverberation target and sell you less of it.
-
Local approvals that nobody actually holds
We hold no Agra certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.
Agra: questions we are actually asked
Do you manufacture wooden slat acoustic panels in Agra?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Agra as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Agra is a hotel city with a footwear and leather industry behind it, and both come to us for very different reasons. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
Why would a Agra build-up differ from anywhere else?
Corridor noise and the room next door generate more complaints than room acoustics ever do. Door and partition detailing does that work. Machinery and presses running long shifts close to occupied areas. Enclosure at the source rather than lining the hall. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Does Agra weather shorten the life of this material?
Agra 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.
When would material land on a Agra site?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: next day, dispatch: 2 to 4 working days. Standard items dispatch in 2 to 4 working days from our plant at Palwal. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
Where do wooden slat acoustic panels fail to help?
A tight slat pattern looks denser but absorbs less, because the open area is what lets sound reach the backing. If the visual you want and the RT target you need pull apart, we will tell you which one the pattern is serving.
How is the order packed and what is the minimum?
500 sq ft, about 46 sq m, whatever the substrate, pattern, width or thickness. Any specification, 500 sq ft, about 46 sq m. One unit covers 96 sq ft, so the minimum is a little over five units. Substrate, slat pattern, width and thickness can be mixed inside the same order. Braced crates, slats supported along their length. Timber moves, so crates are kept flat and dry.
