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 / The material
What you are buying, and what it fixes in Brazil
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 Brazil is mostly offices and corporate towers, apartments, hotels, schools, hospitals, studios.
Concrete frame with block infill and hard floors. Apartment towers share slabs and walls, and impact noise between floors is the common complaint.
- 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 Brazil.
02 / Specification
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 |
If a consultant has set the target, we will quote against their figures rather than ours, and stay out of the scope they own. More on working with acoustic consultants.
03 / In this market
What the buildings in Brazil do to the specification
- Concrete and block, hard inside
The structure blocks well. The rooms are tile, glass and plaster with nothing to absorb anything, so speech carries and lecture rooms fail.
- Humid in most of the country
PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which matters where mineral products sag within a few seasons.
- Impact through slabs
Hard flooring over concrete passes footfall straight down between apartments. A resilient underlay before the finish is the fix.
- A long sea leg and a real import process
Transit is long and customs takes time. We quote the full window and give you the documentation package up front rather than after the container sails.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Churches, event halls and auditoriums are large hard rooms carrying amplified music at high level.
- The housing stock
Concrete frame with block infill and hard floors. Apartment towers share slabs and walls, and impact noise between floors is the common complaint.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Durability
The Brazil climate decides the material list
Brazil 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.
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 / Route to site
Supply into Brazil, start to site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Santos or Paranaguá, then road to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Santos |
| 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. The sea leg from India is long, so plan the full door to door window into the programme. We give real dates, not optimistic ones.
Sea freight into Santos or Paranaguá, then road 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.
-
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.

Suppliers who imply a Brazil 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.
Brazil: questions we are actually asked
Where are the acoustic carpet and rugs you supply to Brazil actually made?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Brazil as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Santos or Paranaguá. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
Why would a Brazil build-up differ from anywhere else?
The structure blocks well. The rooms are tile, glass and plaster with nothing to absorb anything, so speech carries and lecture rooms fail. Hard flooring over concrete passes footfall straight down between apartments. A resilient underlay before the finish is the fix. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Brazil climate affect this product?
Brazil 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.
What is the delivery time into Brazil?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Santos or Paranaguá, then road to site, dispatch: 4 to 7 working days. Standard items dispatch in 4 to 7 working days. The sea leg from India is long, so plan the full door to door window into the programme. We give real dates, not optimistic ones.
Where do acoustic carpet and rugs fail to help?
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.
How is the order packed and what is the minimum?
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.
