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 this is, and what it changes in a Cambodia room
Wood fibre bound into a rigid board with an open texture. Robust, paintable and used where the surface takes knocks, which is why it ends up in schools, sports halls and plant rooms.
Work reaching us from Cambodia is mostly garment and manufacturing units, hotels, offices, schools, hospitals, restaurants.
Concrete frame with block infill, shophouses and new condominium towers, all with hard floors and shared walls.
- Direct fix Mechanically fixed to the soffit or wall. Durable and simple.
- On a cavity Mounted on battens with an air gap, which is where the low mid performance comes from.
- With a porous backing Board over mineral backing where the room needs more than the board alone gives.
- What it will not do At 20 mm it is a mid and high frequency absorber, not a bass solution, and painting it heavily will close the surface and reduce what it does. If a room needs low frequency control, depth or a cavity has to come from somewhere.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for wood wool panels are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Cambodia.
02 / Specification
The published figures, unchanged by location
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.
- Natural20 mm. Plant rooms, back of house, industrial
- Painted20 mm. Classrooms, halls, visible ceilings
| Panel size | 1200 x 600 mm |
|---|---|
| Thickness | 20 mm |
| Density | 400 kg per cubic metre |
| NRC | 0.30 |
| Test standards | ASTM C-423 and EN ISO 354 |
| Surface burning | Class A to ASTM E84 |
Where a consultant is already engaged on a Cambodia project, we supply to their specification and send the test reports rather than describing them. More on working with acoustic consultants.
03 / In this market
The Cambodia conditions that change the answer
- Tropical humidity
PET felt does not hold moisture or feed mould, which decides whether a ceiling survives more than a couple of seasons.
- Generators are part of the building
Standby generation runs often enough to be a permanent condition and sits close to occupied space. Enclosure at the source is the only real fix.
- Garment floors at scale
Large production halls with continuous machine noise and rooms where instructions and alarms must be understood.
- Hospitality in heritage towns
Hotel work where guest room isolation and function room acoustics are the recurring briefs.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Temples, function halls and conference rooms are hard volumes carrying amplified speech.
- School and campus buildings
Classrooms are hard and naturally ventilated, open to street and corridor noise.
If you are specifying for a Cambodia project, we can give you a section, a BOQ and the honest limits of each layer. See how we support architects.
04 / Durability
Why the climate in Cambodia changes the material, not the target
Cambodia 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 / Logistics
Supply into Cambodia, start to site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Sihanoukville, then road to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Sihanoukville |
| Packing | Palletised flat, edge protected. Boards are rigid but the edges chip, so they travel protected. |
| Lead time | 4 to 7 working days for standard sizes. |
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 Sihanoukville, then road to site. Air freight for samples and urgent quantities.
The same 500 sq ft minimum applies on export.
| Any finish | 500 sq ft, about 46 sq m |
|---|
A panel is 1200 x 600 mm, which is 0.72 sq m or about 7.75 sq ft, so the minimum is roughly 65 panels.
06 / Worth knowing
Four honest warnings before you buy
-
The wrong product for the problem
At 20 mm it is a mid and high frequency absorber, not a bass solution, and painting it heavily will close the surface and reduce what it does. If a room needs low frequency control, depth or a cavity has to come from somewhere.
-
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 Cambodia certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.
Cambodia: questions we are actually asked
Are these wood wool acoustic panels made in Cambodia?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Cambodia as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Sihanoukville, then road to Phnom Penh or Siem Reap. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What decides the specification for a Cambodia project?
Standby generation runs often enough to be a permanent condition and sits close to occupied space. Enclosure at the source is the only real fix. Large production halls with continuous machine noise and rooms where instructions and alarms must be understood. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Is this the right material for Cambodia conditions?
Cambodia 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.
How quickly can material reach a site in Cambodia?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Sihanoukville, 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.
Where do wood wool acoustic panels fail to help?
At 20 mm it is a mid and high frequency absorber, not a bass solution, and painting it heavily will close the surface and reduce what it does. If a room needs low frequency control, depth or a cavity has to come from somewhere.
What is the minimum order and how is it packed?
The same 500 sq ft minimum applies on export. Any finish, 500 sq ft, about 46 sq m. A panel is 1200 x 600 mm, which is 0.72 sq m or about 7.75 sq ft, so the minimum is roughly 65 panels. Palletised flat, edge protected. Boards are rigid but the edges chip, so they travel protected.
