Manufactured in India, supplied in Bulgaria
Acoustic carpet and rugs in Bulgaria
We manufacture acoustic carpet and rugs at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Bulgaria. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Varna or Burgas on the Black Sea, then road inland.

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 Bulgaria 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 Bulgaria is mostly coastal and ski resorts, offices and service centres, panel block housing, schools, hospitals.
Panel block housing and newer concrete construction, both with hard floors and slabs that pass impact noise.
- 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 Bulgaria.
02 / Data sheet
Published specification, identical wherever we ship it
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 |
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 / Local conditions
The Bulgaria conditions that change the answer
- Two seasons, two deadlines
Coastal work finishes before summer and mountain work before winter. Real dates matter more than a marginally better price.
- Panel block housing
Prefabricated concrete blocks pass speech and footfall between flats through thin, well connected elements. Surface treatment does nothing.
- Service centre floors
Large rooms full of people on calls, where speech privacy rather than echo is the actual problem.
- Black Sea ports, then road
Varna and Burgas both serve the country well. We quote the sea leg and the inland leg separately.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Church buildings and civic halls are stone volumes with long decay times.
- The housing stock
Panel block housing and newer concrete construction, both with hard floors and slabs that pass impact noise.
If you are specifying for a Bulgaria project, we can give you a section, a BOQ and the honest limits of each layer. See how we support architects.
04 / Conditions
What the Bulgaria climate rules in and rules out
Bulgaria is cold winters and warm summers, with a wide annual temperature range, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
A wide annual swing stresses adhesive fixings and moves timber. Mechanical fixing beats adhesive alone, and PET felt is stable across the range.
The risk we design against here is adhesive failure and timber movement across the annual swing.
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 / Route to site
Getting it to Bulgaria, with real dates
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Varna or Burgas, then road inland |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Varna or Burgas |
| 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 Varna or Burgas, then road inland. 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.

Where this goes wrong, said plainly
-
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.

A claim of being local to Bulgaria
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.
Bulgaria: questions we are actually asked
Where are the acoustic carpet and rugs you supply to Bulgaria actually made?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Bulgaria as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Varna or Burgas on the Black Sea, then road inland. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What changes the specification on a Bulgaria job?
Coastal work finishes before summer and mountain work before winter. Real dates matter more than a marginally better price. Prefabricated concrete blocks pass speech and footfall between flats through thin, well connected elements. Surface treatment does nothing. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Does Bulgaria weather shorten the life of this material?
Bulgaria is cold winters and warm summers, with a wide annual temperature range. A wide annual swing stresses adhesive fixings and moves timber. Mechanical fixing beats adhesive alone, and PET felt is stable across the range. The failure we design against here is adhesive failure and timber movement across the annual swing.
How does an order actually travel to Bulgaria?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Varna or Burgas, then road inland, 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 will acoustic carpet and rugs 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.
What is the minimum order and how is it packed?
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.
