Manufactured in India, supplied in Bhutan
Acoustic carpet and rugs in Bhutan
We manufacture acoustic carpet and rugs at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Bhutan. Made at our own plant in India and moved overland through Phuentsholing, so Bhutan is one of the few markets we reach entirely by road with no port at all.

01 / What it is
The product, described honestly, for a Bhutan brief
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 Bhutan is mostly hotels and resorts, institutional buildings, assembly halls, schools, clinics, offices.
Concrete frame with block infill and traditional timber detailing, with hard floors and cold external walls.
- 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 Bhutan.
02 / Data sheet
Published specification, identical wherever we ship it
We publish one data sheet for every market. If a supplier quotes you a different figure for the same product in a different city, one of the two numbers is wrong.
- 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 Bhutan job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.
03 / On the ground
What decides the build-up in Bhutan
- Hospitality at altitude
Hotels and lodges where guest room isolation matters more than anything happening inside the room itself.
- No port, no container handling
Entirely by road from our plant. Lead times are short and a small consignment is genuinely economic.
- Traditional construction
Timber framing, rammed earth and masonry in buildings that must keep their character. Work has to be internal and respectful of the fabric.
- Seismic and mountainous
Structures are built to move and the final road leg is steep and rough. We brace and wrap for both.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Dzongs, monastery halls and civic rooms are tall hard volumes with long reverberation.
- The housing stock
Concrete frame with block infill and traditional timber detailing, with hard floors and cold external walls.
If you are specifying for a Bhutan project, we can give you a section, a BOQ and the honest limits of each layer. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate
Durability in Bhutan, before acoustics is discussed
Bhutan is hot summers, mild winters and a distinct wet season, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
PET felt handles the wet months without absorbing moisture or feeding mould. Timber and wood wool want a ventilated cavity and a stable indoor RH.
The risk we design against here is wet-season humidity behind linings.
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
What the route into Bhutan actually looks like
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Overland through Phuentsholing, then road to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Road via the India border |
| 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.
Overland by road through the India border, then on to site. No sea leg and no port handling.
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.

Four honest warnings before you buy
-
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.
-
Coverage bought instead of a target
Lining every surface is a purchase, not a result. We would rather calculate the area against a reverberation target and sell you less of it.
-
A claim of being local to Bhutan
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.
Bhutan: questions we are actually asked
Are these acoustic carpet and rugs made in Bhutan?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Bhutan as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and moved overland through Phuentsholing, so Bhutan is one of the few markets we reach entirely by road with no port at all. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What changes the specification on a Bhutan job?
Entirely by road from our plant. Lead times are short and a small consignment is genuinely economic. Timber framing, rammed earth and masonry in buildings that must keep their character. Work has to be internal and respectful of the fabric. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Will this material last in the Bhutan climate?
Bhutan is hot summers, mild winters and a distinct wet season. PET felt handles the wet months without absorbing moisture or feeding mould. Timber and wood wool want a ventilated cavity and a stable indoor RH. The failure we design against here is wet-season humidity behind linings.
How quickly can material reach a site in Bhutan?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Overland through Phuentsholing, 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.
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.
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.

Drawings in, BOQ and a delivered date out
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.
