01 / What it is
The product, described honestly, for a Argentina brief
A tile carpet with a dense polyester face on a felt backing. It absorbs at the floor and, more usefully, kills footfall and chair scrape at the point they are generated.
Work reaching us from Argentina is mostly apartments and conversions, offices, restaurants, hotels, schools, clinics, studios.
Masonry and concrete blocks with hard floors and internal light wells that carry sound between flats.
- Loose lay on tackifier Tiles lifted individually for access under a raised floor, which is why tile beats broadloom in an office.
- Over a resilient underlay Where impact noise to the floor below is the actual complaint, the underlay does that work, not the carpet.
- Zoned Carpet in the circulation and meeting zones, hard floor elsewhere, so the treatment sits where the noise is made.
- What it will not do Carpet fixes footfall and chair noise and takes the edge off a live room. It will not deliver a reverberation target on its own, because the ceiling is almost always the bigger surface.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for acoustic carpet and rugs are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Argentina.
02 / The numbers
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.
- Standard tile4 mm. Offices, classrooms, studios, corridors
| Tile size | 500 x 500 mm |
|---|---|
| Thickness | 4 mm |
| Face | High density polyester |
| Backing | Felt |
| Pack coverage | 64 sq ft per pack |
| Boxed | 20 kg, 55 x 55 x 15 cm |
On a Argentina job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.

What the buildings in Argentina do to the specification
- Paperwork is part of the lead time
Import formalities take time here and pretending otherwise helps nobody. We prepare the documentation package before shipping rather than after.
- European style building stock
Tall rooms with hard plaster and timber floors between apartments. Footfall travels down, and the rooms hold sound for a long time.
- Conversions of older buildings
The structure usually stays, so build-ups have to be shallow and work within existing finishes.
- A long sea leg
This is one of our longest routes. Ordering to a real schedule matters, so we quote the full window.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Theatres, church buildings and event halls are hard volumes with long decay times.
- The housing stock
Masonry and concrete blocks with hard floors and internal light wells that carry sound between flats.
If you are specifying for a Argentina project, we can give you a section, a BOQ and the honest limits of each layer. See how we support architects.
04 / Conditions
Durability in Argentina, before acoustics is discussed
Argentina 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
Supply into Argentina, start to site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Buenos Aires, then road to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Buenos Aires |
| Packing | Boxed, 64 sq ft per pack, 20 kg. Easy to carry up a stair, which matters on fit-out sites with no lift access. |
| Lead time | 4 to 7 working days. |
Standard items dispatch in 4 to 7 working days. The sea leg from India is long, so plan the full door to door window into the programme. We give real dates, not optimistic ones.
Sea freight into Buenos Aires, then road to site. Air freight for samples and urgent quantities.
The same minimums apply on export.
| Carpet tiles | 320 sq ft, about 30 sq m |
|---|---|
| Rugs | 500 sq ft, about 46 sq m |
A pack of tiles covers 64 sq ft and weighs 20 kg boxed, so the tile minimum is exactly five packs and about 100 kg.
06 / Worth knowing
Four honest warnings before you buy
-
The wrong product for the problem
Carpet fixes footfall and chair noise and takes the edge off a live room. It will not deliver a reverberation target on its own, because the ceiling is almost always the bigger surface.
-
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.
-
A claim of being local to Argentina
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.
Argentina: questions we are actually asked
Do you manufacture acoustic carpet and rugs in Argentina?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Argentina as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Buenos Aires. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What changes the specification on a Argentina job?
Import formalities take time here and pretending otherwise helps nobody. We prepare the documentation package before shipping rather than after. Tall rooms with hard plaster and timber floors between apartments. Footfall travels down, and the rooms hold sound for a long time. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Argentina climate affect this product?
Argentina 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.
How quickly can material reach a site in Argentina?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Buenos Aires, then road to site, dispatch: 4 to 7 working days. Standard items dispatch in 4 to 7 working days. The sea leg from India is long, so plan the full door to door window into the programme. We give real dates, not optimistic ones.
What should you not buy acoustic carpet and rugs for?
Carpet fixes footfall and chair noise and takes the edge off a live room. It will not deliver a reverberation target on its own, because the ceiling is almost always the bigger surface.
How is the order packed and what is the minimum?
The same minimums apply on export. Carpet tiles, 320 sq ft, about 30 sq m. Rugs, 500 sq ft, about 46 sq m. A pack of tiles covers 64 sq ft and weighs 20 kg boxed, so the tile minimum is exactly five packs and about 100 kg. Boxed, 64 sq ft per pack, 20 kg. Easy to carry up a stair, which matters on fit-out sites with no lift access.
