Manufactured in India, supplied in Bangkok
Wood wool acoustic panels in Bangkok
We manufacture wood wool acoustic panels at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Bangkok. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Laem Chabang, roughly two hours from the city by road.

- 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 / Start here
What this material is and where it earns its place in Bangkok
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 Bangkok is mostly condo towers, hotels and lounges, offices, restaurants, clinics, studios.
Concrete frame with block infill and hard tile floors throughout. Condominium party walls and slabs pass impact noise directly.
- 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 Bangkok.
02 / The numbers
One specification sheet, the same in every market
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.
- Natural20 mm. Plant rooms, back of house, industrial
- Painted20 mm. Classrooms, halls, visible ceilings
| Panel size | 1200 x 600 mm |
|---|---|

| Density | 400 kg per cubic metre |
| NRC | 0.30 |
| Test standards | ASTM C-423 and EN ISO 354 |

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 Bangkok
- Heat and humidity all year
Our PET felt does not hold moisture or feed mould, which matters where mineral products sag in a tropical climate.
- Concrete towers, live interiors
The structure blocks a lot already. The problem is tile, glass and stone inside making the room ring, and that is a treatment job.
- Elevated rail and traffic
Trains and traffic close to facades put noise in through glazing, not through the wall. Fix the window path first.
- Impact through slabs
Hard flooring over concrete passes footfall straight down. A resilient underlay before the finish is the fix.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Temples, function halls and hotel ballrooms are tall hard volumes carrying amplified speech and music.
- School and campus buildings
Classrooms are hard and naturally ventilated, open to traffic and corridor noise, with large class sizes pushing levels up.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate
What the Bangkok climate rules in and rules out
Bangkok 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 / Supply
What the route into Bangkok actually looks like
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Laem Chabang, then a short road run into Bangkok |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Laem Chabang |
| 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 Laem Chabang, then a short road run into Bangkok. Air freight for samples and urgent quantities.
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.
-
Square footage quoted before the room is understood
Anyone can price a wall. Working out how much material the room actually needs usually reduces the order, which is why not everyone does it.

A claim of being local to Bangkok
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.
Bangkok: questions we are actually asked
Is there a Bangkok 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 Bangkok as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Laem Chabang, roughly two hours from the city by road. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
Why would a Bangkok build-up differ from anywhere else?
The structure blocks a lot already. The problem is tile, glass and stone inside making the room ring, and that is a treatment job. Trains and traffic close to facades put noise in through glazing, not through the wall. Fix the window path first. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Is this the right material for Bangkok conditions?
Bangkok 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.
When would material land on a Bangkok site?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Laem Chabang, then a short road run into Bangkok, 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.
Where do wood wool acoustic panels fail to help?
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.
What quantity do we have to order, and in what packaging?
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.
