Manufactured in India, supplied in Bali
Wood wool acoustic panels in Bali
We manufacture wood wool acoustic panels at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Bali. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Surabaya or Benoa, then road or inter-island onward to site.

This comes from our own plant, not a trading desk. We do not have an office in your city and we will not invent one. What we can give you is factory pricing, consistent material and a technical answer before you commit.
01 / Start here
The material, and what it actually does on a Bali job
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 Bali is mostly resorts and villas, beach clubs and restaurants, spas, offices, guest rooms.
Concrete frame with block infill in cities, timber and light construction outside them. Apartment stock shares walls and slabs that were never detailed for two households.
- 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 Bali.
02 / Specification
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 |

| Test standards | ASTM C-423 and EN ISO 354 |
| 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 / On the ground
What the buildings in Bali do to the specification
- Humidity and salt destroy the wrong material
PET felt does not absorb moisture, rot or feed mould. Mineral products sag here within a single season.
- Buildings that are only partly enclosed
Open pavilions and sliding walls mean there is often no envelope to isolate. The honest answer is treating what is there and telling you what cannot be fixed.
- Beach clubs and neighbours
Late trading venues beside villas and other resorts, where containment of low frequency is what keeps the operation on good terms.
- An onward leg to the island
Material arrives and then continues by road or ferry. Tell us and we pack for the second journey.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Places of worship, function halls and community buildings are large hard rooms carrying amplified speech and music.
- School and campus buildings
Classrooms are hard, naturally ventilated and open to corridor and street noise, so absorption alone will not fix intelligibility.
For a Bali practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
04 / Durability
Why the climate in Bali changes the material, not the target
Bali is warm and humid through most of the year, with a long wet season, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
Humidity is the deciding factor. PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which is why it outlasts fabric-wrapped mineral wool in this climate. Wood wool and timber need a ventilated cavity behind them.
The risk we design against here is mould, sagging fabric finishes and swelling in timber.
Designers get colour, pattern and CNC options with the absorption figure attached to each. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Getting it there
How material reaches a Bali site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Surabaya or Benoa, then road to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Surabaya or Benoa |
| 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 4 to 7 working days. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
Sea freight into Surabaya or Benoa, then road or ferry onward to site. Air freight for samples.
The same 500 sq ft minimum applies on export.
| 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 / Straight talk
Where this goes wrong, said plainly
-
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.
-
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 Bali
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.
Bali: questions we are actually asked
Is there a Bali factory behind this product?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Bali as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Surabaya or Benoa, then road or inter-island onward to site. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What decides the specification for a Bali project?
Open pavilions and sliding walls mean there is often no envelope to isolate. The honest answer is treating what is there and telling you what cannot be fixed. Late trading venues beside villas and other resorts, where containment of low frequency is what keeps the operation on good terms. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Will this material last in the Bali climate?
Bali is warm and humid through most of the year, with a long wet season. Humidity is the deciding factor. PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which is why it outlasts fabric-wrapped mineral wool in this climate. Wood wool and timber need a ventilated cavity behind them. The failure we design against here is mould, sagging fabric finishes and swelling in timber.
What is the delivery time into Bali?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Surabaya or Benoa, then road to site, 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 wood wool acoustic panels the wrong purchase?
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?
The same 500 sq ft minimum applies on export. 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.
