Wood wool acoustic panels in Chandigarh
We manufacture wood wool 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.

- 400 kg per cubic metre
- NRC
- 0.30
- Test standards
- ASTM C-423 and EN ISO 354
- Lead time
- 4 to 7 working days for standard sizes
- Minimum order
- 500 sq ft, about 46 sq m
- ASTM C-423 and EN ISO 354
- Made at our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, India
- One batch across the order, no blending between runs
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 Chandigarh 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 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.
- 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 Chandigarh.
02 / Data sheet
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.
- 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 |
Consultants get the raw data, not a sales sheet. That is the whole of our side of the job, and it is set out under 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.
- 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.
- School and campus buildings
Well established school and university campuses with lecture halls, libraries and hostels in concrete and tile.
For a Chandigarh practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate
The Chandigarh climate decides the material list
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.
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
How material reaches a Chandigarh site
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | a day |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | a day |
| 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 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.
| 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.
-
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 wood wool 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.
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.
What will wood wool acoustic panels 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.
What quantity do we have to order, and in what packaging?
500 sq ft, about 46 sq m. 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.

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.
