Manufactured in India, supplied in Amritsar
Wood wool acoustic panels in Amritsar
We manufacture wood wool acoustic panels at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Amritsar. Amritsar feeds and houses enormous numbers of visitors, which means very large halls where a crowd has to hear one voice.

Manufacturer, not reseller. We hold no local approvals and will not imply we do. You get the price the factory quotes, material that matches across a large order, and advice that sometimes talks you out of a purchase.
01 / The product
What this material is and where it earns its place in Amritsar
Wood fibre bound into a rigid board with an open texture. Robust, paintable and used where the surface takes knocks, which is why it ends up in schools, sports halls and plant rooms.
Work reaching us from Amritsar is mostly large dining and assembly halls, hotels and guest houses, restaurants, schools, clinics, offices.
Independent houses and RC frame apartments with stone and tile floors, in towns with agricultural and light industrial activity nearby.
- Direct fix Mechanically fixed to the soffit or wall. Durable and simple.
- On a cavity Mounted on battens with an air gap, which is where the low mid performance comes from.
- With a porous backing Board over mineral backing where the room needs more than the board alone gives.
- What it will not do At 20 mm it is a mid and high frequency absorber, not a bass solution, and painting it heavily will close the surface and reduce what it does. If a room needs low frequency control, depth or a cavity has to come from somewhere.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for wood wool panels are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Amritsar.
02 / The numbers
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.
- Natural20 mm. Plant rooms, back of house, industrial
- Painted20 mm. Classrooms, halls, visible ceilings
| Panel size | 1200 x 600 mm |
|---|---|
| Thickness | 20 mm |

| Surface burning | Class A to ASTM E84 |
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 / In this market
What the buildings in Amritsar do to the specification
- Halls handling continuous crowds
Very large rooms in constant use, where intelligibility fails long before anyone describes the room as echoing.
- Guest rooms in dense streets
Corridor noise and the room next door cause more complaints than the room itself. Door and partition detailing does that work.
- Old city access
Narrow lanes near the centre mean a lorry often cannot reach the door. We break pallets down to what can be carried.
- One to two days by road
A dedicated truck from Palwal, with samples sent ahead so the finish is approved first.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Auditoriums, banquet halls and places of worship are large hard volumes in concrete and stone where speech falls apart long before anyone calls the room echoey.
- School and campus buildings
Large school and college campuses in concrete and tile, with halls carrying assembly and performance.
For a Amritsar practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate
Why the climate in Amritsar changes the material, not the target
Amritsar 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 / Logistics
How material reaches a Amritsar site
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | one to two days |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | one to two days |
| Packing | Palletised flat, edge protected. Boards are rigid but the edges chip, so they travel protected. |
| Lead time | 4 to 7 working days for standard sizes. |
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 four hundred and fifty kilometres, normally one to two days on a dedicated truck.
500 sq ft, about 46 sq m.
| Any finish | 500 sq ft, about 46 sq m |
|---|
A panel is 1200 x 600 mm, which is 0.72 sq m or about 7.75 sq ft, so the minimum is roughly 65 panels.
06 / Worth knowing
The things worth knowing before you place the order
-
The wrong product for the problem
At 20 mm it is a mid and high frequency absorber, not a bass solution, and painting it heavily will close the surface and reduce what it does. If a room needs low frequency control, depth or a cavity has to come from somewhere.
-
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.

A claim of being local to Amritsar
We manufacture in India and supply here. We do not run an office in this city and we will not pretend to, because you would find out on the first site visit.
Amritsar: questions we are actually asked
Where are the wood wool acoustic panels you supply to Amritsar actually made?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Amritsar as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Amritsar feeds and houses enormous numbers of visitors, which means very large halls where a crowd has to hear one voice. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What decides the specification for a Amritsar project?
Very large rooms in constant use, where intelligibility fails long before anyone describes the room as echoing. Corridor noise and the room next door cause more complaints than the room itself. Door and partition detailing does that work. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Amritsar climate affect this product?
Amritsar 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.
What is the delivery time into Amritsar?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: one to two days, 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.
What should you not buy wood wool acoustic panels for?
At 20 mm it is a mid and high frequency absorber, not a bass solution, and painting it heavily will close the surface and reduce what it does. If a room needs low frequency control, depth or a cavity has to come from somewhere.
How is the order packed and what is the minimum?
500 sq ft, about 46 sq m. Any finish, 500 sq ft, about 46 sq m. A panel is 1200 x 600 mm, which is 0.72 sq m or about 7.75 sq ft, so the minimum is roughly 65 panels. Palletised flat, edge protected. Boards are rigid but the edges chip, so they travel protected.

Tell us the room, we will tell you the build-up
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.
