Manufactured in India, supplied in Barcelona
Acoustic carpet and rugs in Barcelona
We manufacture acoustic carpet and rugs at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Barcelona. Made at our own plant in India and shipped straight into Barcelona, so the container lands at the city and the road leg is short.

01 / What it is
The material, and what it actually does on a Barcelona job
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 Barcelona is mostly eixample apartments, hotels and short lets, restaurants, offices, clinics, studios.
The Ensanche and equivalent city blocks stack flats around a patio with shared walls and slabs. Footfall and speech move between homes, which is a mass and isolation problem.
- 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 Barcelona.
02 / Specification
The numbers, and they do not move by city
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.
- 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 |
Where a consultant is already engaged on a Barcelona project, we supply to their specification and send the test reports rather than describing them. More on working with acoustic consultants.
03 / Local conditions
What decides the build-up in Barcelona
- Eixample blocks share everything
Flats stacked around an interior courtyard with tiled floors and hard plaster. Sound moves between homes through the structure and across the patio.
- Tourism conversions
Apartments turned into short lets put beds either side of walls that were never separating walls. Doors and corridors cause most complaints.
- Late streets
Venues and terraces operate late underneath homes, so containment decides how long they trade.
- The port is at the city
Direct sea into Barcelona keeps the road leg short and the landed cost predictable.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Churches, civic auditoriums and hotel function rooms are stone and plaster volumes with very long decay times.
- The housing stock
The Ensanche and equivalent city blocks stack flats around a patio with shared walls and slabs. Footfall and speech move between homes, which is a mass and isolation problem.
For a Barcelona practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate and durability
Durability in Barcelona, before acoustics is discussed
Barcelona 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.
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 / Getting it there
Supply into Barcelona, start to site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Barcelona, then a short road run to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea into Barcelona |
| 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. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
Sea freight direct into Barcelona, then a short road run 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
What we will tell you that a reseller will not
-
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.

Suppliers who imply a Barcelona presence
Ask any supplier where the material is made and who carries the warranty. We make it at Palwal in Haryana and we say so on every page, including this one.
Barcelona: questions we are actually asked
Are these acoustic carpet and rugs made in Barcelona?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Barcelona as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped straight into Barcelona, so the container lands at the city and the road leg is short. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What changes the specification on a Barcelona job?
Flats stacked around an interior courtyard with tiled floors and hard plaster. Sound moves between homes through the structure and across the patio. Apartments turned into short lets put beds either side of walls that were never separating walls. Doors and corridors cause most complaints. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Barcelona climate affect this product?
Barcelona 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.
What is the delivery time into Barcelona?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Barcelona, then a short road run 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 acoustic carpet and rugs the wrong purchase?
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.
What quantity do we have to order, and in what packaging?
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.
