Wooden slat acoustic panels in Coimbatore
We manufacture wooden slat acoustic panels at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Coimbatore. Coimbatore makes pumps, motors and textile machinery, which means test rooms and shop floors rather than interiors.

- One batch across the order, no blending between runs
We are the manufacturer. There is no local office and we do not claim approvals we do not hold. What you get is factory pricing, one consistent batch across the order, and a straight answer on what the material will and will not do.
01 / The material
What this material is and where it earns its place in Coimbatore
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 Coimbatore is mostly engineering plants and test rooms, colleges, textile units, hospitals, offices, hotels.
RC frame houses and apartments with hard floors, built for heat and humidity with open plan layouts that carry sound room to room.
- 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 Coimbatore.
02 / Data sheet
The numbers, and they do not move by city
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.
- 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
| Substrate | MDF, FR MDF, HDF or HDHMR |

Where a consultant is already engaged on a Coimbatore 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 Coimbatore do to the specification
- Test and measurement rooms
Motor and pump testing needs a genuinely low background before any reading means anything. That is isolation with a written target, not absorption.
- Foundry and machining noise
Low frequency and structure-borne. Enclosure at the source rather than treating the hall.
- Education at scale
A large college sector with lecture rooms and hostels where speech fails and noise between rooms is constant.
- Dry inland climate
PET felt is stable in dry heat and does not shed fibre, which suits sealed conditioned rooms.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Kalyana mandapams, temple halls and auditoria are very large hard volumes carrying amplified speech and music.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Conditions
Durability in Coimbatore, before acoustics is discussed
Coimbatore 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.
For a Coimbatore interior where the finish leads, we will say plainly what each option costs you acoustically. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Route to site
Supply into Coimbatore, 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 | 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 twenty three hundred kilometres, normally five days 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 / Worth knowing
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.
-
Local approvals that nobody actually holds
We hold no Coimbatore certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.
Coimbatore: questions we are actually asked
Is there a Coimbatore 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 Coimbatore as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Coimbatore makes pumps, motors and textile machinery, which means test rooms and shop floors rather than interiors. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
Why would a Coimbatore build-up differ from anywhere else?
Motor and pump testing needs a genuinely low background before any reading means anything. That is isolation with a written target, not absorption. Low frequency and structure-borne. Enclosure at the source rather than treating the hall. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Is this the right material for Coimbatore conditions?
Coimbatore 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.
How quickly can material reach a site in Coimbatore?
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.
What will wooden slat acoustic panels 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.
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.
