Manufactured in India, supplied in Chile
Acoustic carpet and rugs in Chile
We manufacture acoustic carpet and rugs at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Chile. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into San Antonio or Valparaíso, then road along a very long country.

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 material is and where it earns its place in Chile
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 Chile is mostly offices, apartments, mining and industrial facilities, hotels, hospitals, schools.
Concrete and block construction with hard floors, in apartment towers sharing slabs, built to seismic detailing that adds mass.
- 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 Chile.
02 / Specification
Published specification, identical wherever we ship it
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.
- 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 |
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 decides the build-up in Chile
- Seismic detailing comes first
Movement joints have to stay free. An acoustic layer must respect the structural design rather than stiffen across it.
- Mining and industrial plant
Remote facilities with continuous machinery and control rooms where alarms have to be understood. Enclosure and mass do that work.
- A very long country
Site location changes the inland leg dramatically. We quote the road leg for your actual destination rather than an average.
- Dry in the north, wet in the south
PET felt is stable in both. It does not absorb moisture or degrade in dry heat, which simplifies specifying across regions.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Church buildings, theatres and event halls are hard volumes with long decay times.
- The housing stock
Concrete and block construction with hard floors, in apartment towers sharing slabs, built to seismic detailing that adds mass.
For a Chile practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
04 / Conditions
Why the climate in Chile changes the material, not the target
Chile 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
Getting it to Chile, with real dates
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | San Antonio or Valparaíso, then road to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via San Antonio |
| 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 4 to 7 working days. The sea leg from India is long, so plan the full door to door window into the programme. We give real dates, not optimistic ones.
Sea freight into San Antonio or Valparaíso, then road to site. Air freight for samples and urgent quantities.
The same minimums apply on export.
| Carpet tiles | 320 sq ft, about 30 sq m |
|---|---|
| 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 / Worth knowing
The things worth knowing before you place the order
-
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.
-
Local approvals that nobody actually holds
We hold no Chile certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.
Chile: questions we are actually asked
Is there a Chile 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 Chile as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into San Antonio or Valparaíso, then road along a very long country. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What do you look at first on a Chile enquiry?
Movement joints have to stay free. An acoustic layer must respect the structural design rather than stiffen across it. Remote facilities with continuous machinery and control rooms where alarms have to be understood. Enclosure and mass do that work. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Will this material last in the Chile climate?
Chile 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 Chile?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: San Antonio or Valparaíso, then road to site, dispatch: 4 to 7 working days. Standard items dispatch in 4 to 7 working days. The sea leg from India is long, so plan the full door to door window into the programme. We give real dates, not optimistic ones.
Where do acoustic carpet and rugs fail to help?
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?
The same minimums apply on export. Carpet tiles, 320 sq ft, about 30 sq m. 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.
