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 / Start here
What this material is and where it earns its place in Atlanta
Open cell foam shapes for high frequency control, and BassBloc, a high density absorber built for the low mid range where ordinary foam does nothing.
Work reaching us from Atlanta is mostly production stages, edit and mix rooms, offices, schools, clinics, restaurants, home theatres.
American homes are timber frame with gypsum board on both faces, so a party wall or a basement ceiling has almost no mass. Adding a second leaf with a limp membrane between does more than any amount of surface treatment.
- Corner loading Low frequency energy collects in corners, so absorber in the corners does more than the same area spread across a wall.
- First reflection points Mirror trick placement on side walls and ceiling, which is a handful of panels rather than a lined room.
- Behind a fabric frame Where the room has to look finished, absorber inside a frame rather than foam on show.
- What it will not do Thin foam on a wall is the most over-sold product in this industry. It controls flutter and nothing below it.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for acoustic foam and bass traps are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Atlanta.
02 / Data sheet
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.
- Foam wedge and pyramidLow density. Flutter and high frequency only
- BassBloc100 kg per cubic metre. Low mid absorption, control rooms, live rooms
| BassBloc size | 1800 x 900 mm |
|---|---|
| BassBloc thickness | 20 mm |
| BassBloc density | 100 kg per cubic metre |
| Effective range | 100 to 500 Hz |
| BassBloc NRC | 0.85 |
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 the buildings in Atlanta do to the specification
- Light frame residential
Homes and apartments here are gypsum on studs, which passes low frequency far more easily than masonry. Added mass and a decoupled layer do the work, not absorption.
- Production rooms have no tolerance
A mix room or a stage either isolates or it does not. There is no partial credit, which is why we design the shell before anyone chooses a fabric colour.
- Warehouse conversions
Big metal and concrete shells make superb volume and terrible acoustics. Rain on a metal deck and traffic outside both get in, and the inside is completely live.
- Savannah, then the road
The container lands at the coast and drives in. We quote the sea leg and the road leg separately so the programme is built on real dates.
- The housing stock
American homes are timber frame with gypsum board on both faces, so a party wall or a basement ceiling has almost no mass. Adding a second leaf with a limp membrane between does more than any amount of surface treatment.
- The studio and content scene
Home and project studios go into basements and converted garages with equipment budgets far ahead of the building. The room leaks to the floor above long before it sounds wrong inside.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate and durability
Why the climate in Atlanta changes the material, not the target
Atlanta is hot dry summers and mild wet winters, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
The swing between a dry summer and a wet winter moves timber. PET felt is dimensionally stable across that swing; slat panels want a stable substrate and a ventilated fixing.
The risk we design against here is seasonal movement in timber and winter damp in unheated stock.
Designers get colour, pattern and CNC options with the absorption figure attached to each. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Route to site
What the route into Atlanta actually looks like
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Savannah, then road to Atlanta |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Savannah |
| Packing | Compressed and boxed for foam, palletised flat for BassBloc. |
| Lead time | 4 to 7 working days. |
Standard items dispatch in 4 to 7 working days. The sea leg to the US East Coast is long, so plan the full door to door window. We give real dates rather than optimistic ones.
Sea freight into Savannah, then road to Atlanta. Air freight for samples, colour approvals and genuinely urgent quantities.
The same minimums apply on export.
| Acoustic foam | 200 sq ft, about 19 sq m |
|---|---|
| BassBloc | 300 sq ft, about 28 sq m |
| Bass traps | 10 pieces |
A BassBloc panel is 1800 x 900 mm, which is 1.62 sq m or about 17.4 sq ft, so the BassBloc minimum is roughly 17 panels.
06 / Worth knowing
Where this goes wrong, said plainly
-
The wrong product for the problem
Thin foam on a wall is the most over-sold product in this industry. It controls flutter and nothing below it. If the complaint is boom, bass from a neighbour, or a room that sounds uneven at low frequency, foam is the wrong purchase and we will say so.
-
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.
-
Local approvals that nobody actually holds
We hold no Atlanta certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.

The product on finished jobs
Atlanta: questions we are actually asked
Where are the acoustic foam and BassBloc you supply to Atlanta actually made?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Atlanta as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Savannah, then road to Atlanta, 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 Atlanta job?
A mix room or a stage either isolates or it does not. There is no partial credit, which is why we design the shell before anyone chooses a fabric colour. Big metal and concrete shells make superb volume and terrible acoustics. Rain on a metal deck and traffic outside both get in, and the inside is completely live. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Will this material last in the Atlanta climate?
Atlanta is hot dry summers and mild wet winters. The swing between a dry summer and a wet winter moves timber. PET felt is dimensionally stable across that swing; slat panels want a stable substrate and a ventilated fixing. The failure we design against here is seasonal movement in timber and winter damp in unheated stock.
How quickly can material reach a site in Atlanta?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Savannah, then road to Atlanta, dispatch: 4 to 7 working days. Standard items dispatch in 4 to 7 working days. The sea leg to the US East Coast is long, so plan the full door to door window. We give real dates rather than optimistic ones.
What will acoustic foam and BassBloc not do?
Thin foam on a wall is the most over-sold product in this industry. It controls flutter and nothing below it. If the complaint is boom, bass from a neighbour, or a room that sounds uneven at low frequency, foam is the wrong purchase and we will say so.
What is the minimum order and how is it packed?
The same minimums apply on export. Acoustic foam, 200 sq ft, about 19 sq m. BassBloc, 300 sq ft, about 28 sq m. Bass traps, 10 pieces. A BassBloc panel is 1800 x 900 mm, which is 1.62 sq m or about 17.4 sq ft, so the BassBloc minimum is roughly 17 panels. Compressed and boxed for foam, palletised flat for BassBloc.
