Acoustic foam and BassBloc in Chandigarh
We manufacture acoustic foam and BassBloc at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Chandigarh. Chandigarh was built in exposed concrete on purpose, and exposed concrete reflects almost everything that hits it.
- 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
- Lead time
- 4 to 7 working days
- Minimum order
- From 200 sq ft
- Made at our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, India
- One batch across the order, no blending between runs
- Test reports sent on request, not just quoted
Manufacturer, not reseller. We hold no local approvals and will not imply we do. You get the price the factory quotes, material that matches across a large order, and advice that sometimes talks you out of a purchase.
01 / The material
What you are buying, and what it fixes in Chandigarh
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 Chandigarh is mostly institutional and government buildings, colleges, offices, auditoriums, clinics, hotels.
Planned sector housing in RC frame with stone and tile floors, in low rise blocks that share walls between units.
- 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 Chandigarh.
02 / Specification
The published figures, unchanged by location
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 |
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 we see driving Chandigarh briefs
- Concrete is the finish
Exposed board-marked concrete cannot be covered without losing the building. Absorption has to go on the ceiling plane or high on the wall, discreetly.
- Generous volumes
Rooms here are larger and taller than equivalents elsewhere, which lengthens reverberation and defeats speech.
- Planned, low rise, quiet outside
External noise is rarely the issue. What comes to us is the room itself and noise between rooms.
- Next day from the plant
A few hours by road, so samples and replacements are straightforward.
- The housing stock
Planned sector housing in RC frame with stone and tile floors, in low rise blocks that share walls between units.
- The studio and content scene
Studios go into basements, terrace rooms and back rooms with neighbours on every side and a generator somewhere in the lane. Isolating from the building has to come before treating the room.
If you are specifying for a Chandigarh project, we can give you a section, a BOQ and the honest limits of each layer. See how we support architects.
04 / Conditions
Why the climate in Chandigarh changes the material, not the target
Chandigarh 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.
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 / Supply
Getting it to Chandigarh, with real dates
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | a day |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | a day |
| Packing | Compressed and boxed for foam, palletised flat for BassBloc. |
| Lead time | 4 to 7 working days. |
Standard items dispatch in 2 to 4 working days from our plant at Palwal. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
By road from Palwal, roughly three hundred kilometres, normally next day on a dedicated truck.
200 sq ft for acoustic foam, 300 sq ft for BassBloc, 10 pieces for bass traps.
| 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.

Four honest warnings before you buy
-
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.

A claim of being local to Chandigarh
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.

The material in real interiors
Chandigarh: questions we are actually asked
Are these acoustic foam and BassBloc made in Chandigarh?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Chandigarh as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Chandigarh was built in exposed concrete on purpose, and exposed concrete reflects almost everything that hits it. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What changes the specification on a Chandigarh job?
Exposed board-marked concrete cannot be covered without losing the building. Absorption has to go on the ceiling plane or high on the wall, discreetly. Rooms here are larger and taller than equivalents elsewhere, which lengthens reverberation and defeats speech. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Does Chandigarh weather shorten the life of this material?
Chandigarh 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.
When would material land on a Chandigarh site?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: a day, dispatch: 2 to 4 working days. Standard items dispatch in 2 to 4 working days from our plant at Palwal. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
When are acoustic foam and BassBloc the wrong purchase?
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 quantity do we have to order, and in what packaging?
200 sq ft for acoustic foam, 300 sq ft for BassBloc, 10 pieces for bass traps. 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.
