Manufactured in India, supplied in Chennai
Acoustic carpet and rugs in Chennai
We manufacture acoustic carpet and rugs at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Chennai. Chennai is coastal, hot and industrial, and salt air decides which acoustic materials are still doing their job in five years.

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 material, and what it actually does on a Chennai job
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 Chennai is mostly IT corridor offices, automotive plants, recording and dubbing rooms, hospitals, schools, hotels.
RC frame houses and apartments with hard floors, built for heat and humidity with open plan layouts that carry sound room to room.
- 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 Chennai.
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.
- 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 |
Where a consultant is already engaged on a Chennai project, we supply to their specification and send the test reports rather than describing them. More on working with acoustic consultants.
03 / On the ground
What the buildings in Chennai do to the specification
- Salt air and humidity
PET felt does not absorb moisture, rot or feed mould. On a coastal site that is the difference between a ceiling that lasts and one that sags in two monsoons.
- Automotive plants
Presses, conveyors and test rooms where the answer is enclosure and mass rather than absorption on a far wall.
- Dubbing and recording rooms
A long established film sound industry, mostly in rooms inside occupied buildings. Isolation first, tuning second.
- Sealed against the heat
Rooms stay closed and conditioned for most of the year, so sound builds up inside instead of leaking away.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Kalyana mandapams, temple halls and auditoria are very large hard volumes carrying amplified speech and music.
- The housing stock
RC frame houses and apartments with hard floors, built for heat and humidity with open plan layouts that carry sound room to room.
For a Chennai practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate
Durability in Chennai, before acoustics is discussed
Chennai 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.
Designers get colour, pattern and CNC options with the absorption figure attached to each. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Getting it there
Supply into Chennai, start to site
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | five days |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | five days |
| 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 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 twenty two hundred kilometres, normally five days on a dedicated truck.
320 sq ft for carpet tiles, 500 sq ft for rugs.
| Carpet tiles | 320 sq ft, about 30 sq m, 5 packs |
|---|---|
| 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.
06 / Straight talk
What we will tell you that a reseller will not
-
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 Chennai
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.
Chennai: questions we are actually asked
Is there a Chennai factory behind this product?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Chennai as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Chennai is coastal, hot and industrial, and salt air decides which acoustic materials are still doing their job in five years. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
Why would a Chennai build-up differ from anywhere else?
PET felt does not absorb moisture, rot or feed mould. On a coastal site that is the difference between a ceiling that lasts and one that sags in two monsoons. Presses, conveyors and test rooms where the answer is enclosure and mass rather than absorption on a far wall. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Chennai climate affect this product?
Chennai 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.
What is the delivery time into Chennai?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: five days, 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 carpet and rugs the wrong purchase?
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.
How is the order packed and what is the minimum?
320 sq ft for carpet tiles, 500 sq ft for rugs. Carpet tiles, 320 sq ft, about 30 sq m, 5 packs. 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.

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.
