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 product
What you are buying, and what it fixes in Brazil
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 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.
- 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 Brazil.
02 / Data sheet
One specification sheet, the same in every market
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.
- 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 |
|---|---|
| BassBloc thickness | 20 mm |
| BassBloc density | 100 kg per cubic metre |
| Effective range | 100 to 500 Hz |
| BassBloc NRC | 0.85 |
On a Brazil job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.
03 / Local conditions
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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- The studio and content scene
A deep music and production culture works out of rooms inside apartment blocks and commercial floors.
If you are specifying for a Brazil 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 Brazil, before acoustics is discussed
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.
Designers get colour, pattern and CNC options with the absorption figure attached to each. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Route to site
How material reaches a Brazil 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 | 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. 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.
| 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.
-
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.
-
Local approvals that nobody actually holds
We hold no Brazil certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.

In finished rooms
Brazil: questions we are actually asked
Where are the acoustic foam and BassBloc 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.
What do you look at first on a Brazil enquiry?
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.
When would material land on a Brazil site?
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.
What will acoustic foam and BassBloc not do?
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.
What is the minimum order and how is it packed?
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.

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.
