Manufactured in India, supplied in Belgium
Acoustic foam and BassBloc in Belgium
We manufacture acoustic foam and BassBloc 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.

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 / What it is
The product, described honestly, for a Belgium brief
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 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.
- 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 Belgium.
02 / Specification sheet
Published specification, identical wherever we ship it
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.
- 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 |
|---|---|

On a Belgium job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.
03 / On the ground
What the buildings in Belgium do to the specification
- 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.
- The housing stock
Narrow terraced houses sharing party walls, with timber upper floors and concrete below. Apartment stock is concrete with hard finishes.
- The studio and content scene
Rooms are fitted into terraces and converted industrial buildings where the party wall sets the limit.
If you are specifying for a Belgium project, we can give you a section, a BOQ and the honest limits of each layer. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate and durability
The Belgium climate decides the material list
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.
If the visual is fixed and the room still has to perform, that is a solvable problem and a conversation worth having early. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Supply
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 | 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. 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.
| 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 / Straight talk
What we will tell you that a reseller will not
-
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.
-
Suppliers who imply a Belgium 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.

The material in real interiors
Belgium: questions we are actually asked
Do you manufacture acoustic foam and BassBloc 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 changes the specification on a Belgium job?
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.
Will this material last in the Belgium climate?
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.
When would material land on a Belgium site?
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 foam and BassBloc for?
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.
How is the order packed and what is the minimum?
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.

We quote from drawings, not from a square foot rate. Send a plan and the section through the critical wall or ceiling and you will get something you can actually build from.
