Manufactured in India, supplied in Belgium
Acoustic carpet and rugs in Belgium
We manufacture acoustic carpet and rugs at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Belgium. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Antwerp, one of the shortest port to site runs anywhere in Europe, which shows up directly in the landed cost.

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 / The material
What you are buying, and what it fixes in Belgium
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 Belgium is mostly terraced housing, institutional and corporate offices, schools, clinics, restaurants, studios.
Narrow terraced houses sharing party walls, with timber upper floors and concrete below. Apartment stock is concrete with hard finishes.
- 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 Belgium.
02 / Specification sheet
One specification sheet, the same in every market
The specification below is the same everywhere we supply, because a specification that changed by city would not be a specification. What changes is which grade and build-up is the right buy, and that is what the rest of this page is about.
- 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 Belgium job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.

What decides the build-up in Belgium
- Antwerp is the advantage
The port is close to almost everywhere in the country, so the inland leg barely registers. That is the practical reason a factory in India competes well here.
- Terraced brick, shared on both sides
Most housing shares a party wall left and right. Speech and impact noise move sideways, which is a mass and decoupling job rather than a treatment job.
- Institutional meeting spaces
Offices built for meetings in several languages need speech privacy and clean intelligibility at the same time, which pulls the design in two directions unless the ceiling is handled properly.
- Renovation, not new build
The structure usually stays. Build-ups have to fit the depth and finishes already there, so shallow and effective beats thick and theoretically better.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Church buildings, civic halls and converted industrial spaces have long decay and hard surfaces.
- The housing stock
Narrow terraced houses sharing party walls, with timber upper floors and concrete below. Apartment stock is concrete with hard finishes.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Conditions
What the Belgium climate rules in and rules out
Belgium is cool and damp, with long heating seasons and cold external walls, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
Cold wall build-ups and long heating seasons mean interstitial condensation is a real risk behind any lining. PET felt is unaffected by damp air and will not feed mould where a fabric-faced mineral product would.
The risk we design against here is condensation behind linings in older, poorly insulated stock.
Designers get colour, pattern and CNC options with the absorption figure attached to each. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Logistics
How material reaches a Belgium site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Antwerp, then a short road run to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Antwerp |
| 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 into Antwerp, 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 / Straight talk
The things worth knowing before you place the order
-
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.
-
Local approvals that nobody actually holds
We hold no Belgium certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.
Belgium: questions we are actually asked
Are these acoustic carpet and rugs made in Belgium?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Belgium as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Antwerp, one of the shortest port to site runs anywhere in Europe, which shows up directly in the landed cost. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What decides the specification for a Belgium project?
The port is close to almost everywhere in the country, so the inland leg barely registers. That is the practical reason a factory in India competes well here. Most housing shares a party wall left and right. Speech and impact noise move sideways, which is a mass and decoupling job rather than a treatment job. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Belgium climate affect this product?
Belgium is cool and damp, with long heating seasons and cold external walls. Cold wall build-ups and long heating seasons mean interstitial condensation is a real risk behind any lining. PET felt is unaffected by damp air and will not feed mould where a fabric-faced mineral product would. The failure we design against here is condensation behind linings in older, poorly insulated stock.
How does an order actually travel to Belgium?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Antwerp, 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.
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.
Is there a minimum order, and how does it arrive?
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.

A plan and a section is enough. We will come back with a build-up, a BOQ and a delivered date, and we will say so if what you are asking for will not work.
