01 / What it is
The material, and what it actually does on a Dallas job
Open cell foam shapes for high frequency control, and BassBloc, a high density absorber built for the low mid range where ordinary foam does nothing.
Work reaching us from Dallas is mostly corporate campuses, multifamily, schools, clinics, restaurants, home theatres, studios.
American homes are timber frame with gypsum board on both faces, so a party wall or a basement ceiling has almost no mass. Adding a second leaf with a limp membrane between does more than any amount of surface treatment.
- Corner loading Low frequency energy collects in corners, so absorber in the corners does more than the same area spread across a wall.
- First reflection points Mirror trick placement on side walls and ceiling, which is a handful of panels rather than a lined room.
- Behind a fabric frame Where the room has to look finished, absorber inside a frame rather than foam on show.
- What it will not do Thin foam on a wall is the most over-sold product in this industry. It controls flutter and nothing below it.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for acoustic foam and bass traps are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Dallas.
02 / Data sheet
Published specification, identical wherever we ship it
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.

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
The Dallas conditions that change the answer
- Multifamily party walls
Apartments built in light frame share a wall that has far less mass than people expect. Neighbour complaints here are a mass and decoupling problem, and treating the room will not fix them.
- Campus scale repetition
A corporate campus means the same detail across many floors and buildings. The value is in consistent material and a build-up that is easy for a crew to repeat correctly.
- Programmes that will not slip
Fast build schedules leave no room for a container arriving late. We quote the sea leg and the road leg separately so you can see where the time actually goes.
- Big rooms, big systems
Dedicated home theatres here are larger than most, which makes low frequency control the main event rather than an afterthought.
- The housing stock
American homes are timber frame with gypsum board on both faces, so a party wall or a basement ceiling has almost no mass. Adding a second leaf with a limp membrane between does more than any amount of surface treatment.
- The studio and content scene
Home and project studios go into basements and converted garages with equipment budgets far ahead of the building. The room leaks to the floor above long before it sounds wrong inside.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Durability
Why the climate in Dallas changes the material, not the target
Dallas is hot dry summers and mild wet winters, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
The swing between a dry summer and a wet winter moves timber. PET felt is dimensionally stable across that swing; slat panels want a stable substrate and a ventilated fixing.
The risk we design against here is seasonal movement in timber and winter damp in unheated stock.
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 / Getting it there
Supply into Dallas, start to site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Port of Houston, then road north to Dallas |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea, or air into DFW |
| Packing | Compressed and boxed for foam, palletised flat for BassBloc. |
| Lead time | 4 to 7 working days. |
Standard items dispatch in 4 to 7 working days. Add the sea leg to Houston and the road leg north, and plan the full window into the programme. We quote it in the open.
Sea freight into the Port of Houston, then road to Dallas. Air freight into DFW for samples, colour approvals and urgent quantities.
The same minimums apply on export.
| Acoustic foam | 200 sq ft, about 19 sq m |
|---|---|
| BassBloc | 300 sq ft, about 28 sq m |
| Bass traps | 10 pieces |
A BassBloc panel is 1800 x 900 mm, which is 1.62 sq m or about 17.4 sq ft, so the BassBloc minimum is roughly 17 panels.
06 / Worth knowing
Where this goes wrong, said plainly
-
The wrong product for the problem
Thin foam on a wall is the most over-sold product in this industry. It controls flutter and nothing below it. If the complaint is boom, bass from a neighbour, or a room that sounds uneven at low frequency, foam is the wrong purchase and we will say so.
-
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 Dallas 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.

How it looks once it is installed
Dallas: questions we are actually asked
Are these acoustic foam and BassBloc made in Dallas?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Dallas as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India, shipped into Houston and trucked north, with air freight through DFW when a date genuinely will not move. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
Why would a Dallas build-up differ from anywhere else?
Apartments built in light frame share a wall that has far less mass than people expect. Neighbour complaints here are a mass and decoupling problem, and treating the room will not fix them. A corporate campus means the same detail across many floors and buildings. The value is in consistent material and a build-up that is easy for a crew to repeat correctly. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Does Dallas weather shorten the life of this material?
Dallas is hot dry summers and mild wet winters. The swing between a dry summer and a wet winter moves timber. PET felt is dimensionally stable across that swing; slat panels want a stable substrate and a ventilated fixing. The failure we design against here is seasonal movement in timber and winter damp in unheated stock.
What is the delivery time into Dallas?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Port of Houston, then road north to Dallas, dispatch: 4 to 7 working days. Standard items dispatch in 4 to 7 working days. Add the sea leg to Houston and the road leg north, and plan the full window into the programme. We quote it in the open.
What should you not buy acoustic foam and BassBloc for?
Thin foam on a wall is the most over-sold product in this industry. It controls flutter and nothing below it. If the complaint is boom, bass from a neighbour, or a room that sounds uneven at low frequency, foam is the wrong purchase and we will say so.
What is the minimum order and how is it packed?
The same minimums apply on export. Acoustic foam, 200 sq ft, about 19 sq m. BassBloc, 300 sq ft, about 28 sq m. Bass traps, 10 pieces. A BassBloc panel is 1800 x 900 mm, which is 1.62 sq m or about 17.4 sq ft, so the BassBloc minimum is roughly 17 panels. Compressed and boxed for foam, palletised flat for BassBloc.

Send a plan and a section, get a real build-up
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.
