Wooden slat acoustic panels in Delhi

We manufacture wooden slat acoustic panels at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Delhi. Delhi is the closest major market to our plant, so material reaches most sites the same day it leaves us and samples arrive the next morning.

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 / Start here

What this material is and where it earns its place in Delhi

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 Delhi is mostly offices, studios, banquet halls, clinics, schools, home theatres, restaurants, showrooms.

Builder flats, barsatis and independent houses in RC frame with brick infill, stacked floor by floor for separate households with no isolation in the slab.

  • 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 Delhi.

02 / Specification sheet

The published figures, unchanged by location

These figures are published and they do not move. The thing worth arguing about is not the number on the sheet, it is which grade and which build-up suits the room you are treating.

  • 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

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 / Local conditions

What decides the build-up in Delhi

  • We can come and look

    Delhi is close enough that a site visit is straightforward. On a difficult room that is worth more than any amount of specification over email.

  • Old walls and new towers

    Lutyens bungalows, 1970s DDA flats and glass towers all fail differently. We ask what the wall actually is before quoting anything.

  • Traffic and generators get in

    On most Delhi sites the noise arrives through windows, shafts and gaps rather than through the wall itself. Fixing the weakest path first saves money.

  • Same day from the plant

    Ninety kilometres of road. Low freight cost, next-day samples, and a damaged sheet replaced without a two-week wait.

  • 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.

We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.

04 / Climate

Durability in Delhi, before acoustics is discussed

Delhi 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

Supply into Delhi, start to site

Supply into Delhi

Reaches site insame or next day
Dispatch2 to 4 working days

PackingBraced crates, slats supported along their length. Timber moves, so crates are kept flat and dry.
Lead timeLonger 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.

Same day or next day by road from Palwal, about ninety kilometres south. Small consignments on a shared vehicle, full loads on a dedicated truck.

500 sq ft, about 46 sq m, whatever the substrate, pattern, width or thickness.

Minimum order, wooden slat acoustic panels
Any specification500 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 / Straight talk

Four honest warnings before you buy

  • 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.

  • 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 Delhi certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.

FAQ

Delhi: questions we are actually asked

Do you manufacture wooden slat acoustic panels in Delhi?

No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Delhi as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Delhi is the closest major market to our plant, so material reaches most sites the same day it leaves us and samples arrive the next morning. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.

What decides the specification for a Delhi project?

Delhi is close enough that a site visit is straightforward. On a difficult room that is worth more than any amount of specification over email. Lutyens bungalows, 1970s DDA flats and glass towers all fail differently. We ask what the wall actually is before quoting anything. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.

Will this material last in the Delhi climate?

Delhi 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.

How does an order actually travel to Delhi?

made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: same or next 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 should you not buy wooden slat acoustic panels for?

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 quantity do we have to order, and in what packaging?

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.
