Wooden slat acoustic panels in Chandigarh
We manufacture wooden slat acoustic panels 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.
- Substrate
- MDF, FR MDF, HDF or HDHMR
- Patterns
- 13-3, 14-2, 28-4 and 59-5
- Panel sizes
- 2440 x 192 mm and 2440 x 128 mm
- Thickness
- 14, 16 and 18 mm
- Coverage
- 96 sq ft per unit
- Lead time
- Longer than felt
- Minimum order
- 500 sq ft, about 46 sq m
- EN 13501-1 Class B s1 d0 on FR substrate
- Made at our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, India
- One batch across the order, no blending between runs
We make this ourselves and ship it to you. No local branch, no borrowed certifications, no dealer margin. One batch across the whole order, and an honest answer when the product is wrong for the problem.
01 / The material
What this material is and where it earns its place in Chandigarh
Timber slats on an acoustic backing. The slats are the finish and the rhythm, the backing does the absorbing. Used where the room has to look considered rather than treated.
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.
- Slats on felt backing The standard. Absorption comes from the backing behind the gaps, so the slat gap ratio is an acoustic decision, not only a visual one.
- Slats on a cavity Backing plus an air gap behind moves absorption lower, which matters in music rooms.
- Feature wall only Slats where they are seen, plain felt elsewhere, to hold the budget where it shows.
- What it will not do A tight slat pattern looks denser but absorbs less, because the open area is what lets sound reach the backing. If the visual you want and the RT target you need pull apart, we will tell you which one the pattern is serving.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for wooden slat panels are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Chandigarh.
02 / Specification sheet
One specification sheet, the same in every market
Nothing below changes by location. The decisions that do change are grade, thickness and how the material is mounted, and those are covered further down.
- MDFStandard. Dry interiors, general commercial
- FR MDFFire rated. Public buildings and anywhere the specification calls for a class
- HDHMRMoisture resistant. Humid climates and rooms that see damp

Where a consultant is already engaged on a Chandigarh project, we supply to their specification and send the test reports rather than describing them. More on working with acoustic consultants.
03 / Local conditions
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.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Auditoriums, banquet halls and places of worship are large hard volumes in concrete and stone where speech falls apart long before anyone calls the room echoey.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. 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 | Braced crates, slats supported along their length. Timber moves, so crates are kept flat and dry. |
| Lead time | Longer than felt. Confirmed against the pattern and substrate at quote stage. |
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.
500 sq ft, about 46 sq m, whatever the substrate, pattern, width or thickness.
| Any specification | 500 sq ft, about 46 sq m |
|---|
One unit covers 96 sq ft, so the minimum is a little over five units. Substrate, slat pattern, width and thickness can be mixed inside the same order.
06 / Straight talk
The things worth knowing before you place the order
-
The wrong product for the problem
A tight slat pattern looks denser but absorbs less, because the open area is what lets sound reach the backing. If the visual you want and the RT target you need pull apart, we will tell you which one the pattern is serving.
-
Coverage bought instead of a target
Lining every surface is a purchase, not a result. We would rather calculate the area against a reverberation target and sell you less of it.

Suppliers who imply a Chandigarh 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.
Chandigarh: questions we are actually asked
Are these wooden slat acoustic panels 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.
Will this material last in the Chandigarh climate?
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.
What is the delivery time into Chandigarh?
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.
Where do wooden slat acoustic panels fail to help?
A tight slat pattern looks denser but absorbs less, because the open area is what lets sound reach the backing. If the visual you want and the RT target you need pull apart, we will tell you which one the pattern is serving.
What is the minimum order and how is it packed?
500 sq ft, about 46 sq m, whatever the substrate, pattern, width or thickness. Any specification, 500 sq ft, about 46 sq m. One unit covers 96 sq ft, so the minimum is a little over five units. Substrate, slat pattern, width and thickness can be mixed inside the same order. Braced crates, slats supported along their length. Timber moves, so crates are kept flat and dry.
