Manufactured in India, supplied in Egypt
Acoustic foam and BassBloc in Egypt
We manufacture acoustic foam and BassBloc at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Egypt. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Alexandria, Port Said or Sokhna.

- BassBloc thickness
- 20 mm
- BassBloc density
- 100 kg per cubic metre
- Effective range
- 100 to 500 Hz
- BassBloc NRC

- Minimum order
- From 200 sq ft
- Made at our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, India
- One batch across the order, no blending between runs
- Test reports sent on request, not just quoted
Manufacturer, not reseller. We hold no local approvals and will not imply we do. You get the price the factory quotes, material that matches across a large order, and advice that sometimes talks you out of a purchase.
01 / The material
What this is, and what it changes in a Egypt room
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 Egypt is mostly new development and government buildings, hotels and resorts, offices, hospitals, schools, venues.
Reinforced concrete frames with block infill and hard tile floors, in blocks that sit close together with narrow light wells between them.
- 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 Egypt.

The numbers, and they do not move by city
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.
- Foam wedge and pyramidLow density. Flutter and high frequency only
- BassBloc100 kg per cubic metre. Low mid absorption, control rooms, live rooms
| BassBloc size | 1800 x 900 mm |

On a Egypt job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.
03 / In this market
What decides the build-up in Egypt
- Convenient sailings
Our routes to Europe already pass this way, which keeps frequency good and freight competitive.
- Development at scale
Very large single orders where the same detail repeats across many buildings. Batch consistency matters more than the figure on one sheet.
- Heat, dust and sealed buildings
Closed up with heavy cooling, so plant noise accumulates inside and rooms stay hard and live.
- Assembly and function spaces
Large halls in concrete and stone where speech stops being intelligible well before the room sounds wrong.
- The housing stock
Reinforced concrete frames with block infill and hard tile floors, in blocks that sit close together with narrow light wells between them.
- The studio and content scene
A large and long established film and music industry working in rooms that were never built for it.
If you are specifying for a Egypt project, we can give you a section, a BOQ and the honest limits of each layer. See how we support architects.
04 / Durability
What the Egypt climate rules in and rules out
Egypt is hot and dry for most of the year, with dust and high daytime surface temperatures, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
Dust is the enemy of open-cell products. PET felt does not shed, does not hold dust in the way fabric-wrapped glass wool does, and wipes down. Timber needs a stable indoor RH or it moves.
The risk we design against here is dust ingress and thermal movement in long runs.
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 Egypt, start to site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Alexandria, Port Said or Sokhna, then road to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Alexandria or Port Said |
| 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. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
Sea freight into Alexandria, Port Said or Sokhna, then road to site. Air freight for samples 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 / Before you buy
Four honest warnings before you buy
-
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.
-
A claim of being local to Egypt
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.

The material in real interiors
Egypt: questions we are actually asked
Do you manufacture acoustic foam and BassBloc in Egypt?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Egypt as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Alexandria, Port Said or Sokhna. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What do you look at first on a Egypt enquiry?
Our routes to Europe already pass this way, which keeps frequency good and freight competitive. Very large single orders where the same detail repeats across many buildings. Batch consistency matters more than the figure on one sheet. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Does Egypt weather shorten the life of this material?
Egypt is hot and dry for most of the year, with dust and high daytime surface temperatures. Dust is the enemy of open-cell products. PET felt does not shed, does not hold dust in the way fabric-wrapped glass wool does, and wipes down. Timber needs a stable indoor RH or it moves. The failure we design against here is dust ingress and thermal movement in long runs.
How does an order actually travel to Egypt?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Alexandria, Port Said or Sokhna, then road to site, dispatch: 4 to 7 working days. Standard items dispatch in 4 to 7 working days. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
What will acoustic foam and BassBloc not do?
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.
How is the order packed and what is the minimum?
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.
