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 / What it is
The product, described honestly, for a Germany brief
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 Germany is mostly offices, studios, clubs, hotels, schools, clinics, industrial plant rooms.
Altbau blocks have solid masonry walls and timber joist floors, so airborne noise is controlled but footfall is not. Neubau is concrete with better floors and much harder surfaces.
- 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 Germany.
02 / Data sheet
One specification sheet, the same in every market
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 |
|---|---|
| BassBloc thickness | 20 mm |
| BassBloc density | 100 kg per cubic metre |
| Effective range | 100 to 500 Hz |
| BassBloc NRC | 0.85 |
Where a consultant is already engaged on a Germany project, we supply to their specification and send the test reports rather than describing them. More on working with acoustic consultants.
03 / Local conditions
What the buildings in Germany do to the specification
- Two building stocks
Altbau apartments with timber floors pass noise between homes. Post-war concrete holds it in and rings. The same room needs a different answer depending on which one you are in.
- Specified acoustics
Most German jobs arrive with an acoustician already involved. Send us the target values and we will tell you which build-up gets there, and which one will not.
- Container quantities
Fit-outs across several floors or sites are cheaper by container. We quote full loads and stage deliveries against your programme.
- Winter build programmes
Sealed, insulated rooms sound dead in the wrong way. Absorption has to be balanced, not maximised, once the envelope is tight.
- The housing stock
Altbau blocks have solid masonry walls and timber joist floors, so airborne noise is controlled but footfall is not. Neubau is concrete with better floors and much harder surfaces.
- The studio and content scene
A deep production and broadcast culture means rooms are specified properly, with measured targets rather than guesses. Suppliers are expected to provide absorption data, not adjectives.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Conditions
Durability in Germany, before acoustics is discussed
Germany is cool and damp, with long heating seasons and cold external walls, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
Cold wall build-ups and long heating seasons mean interstitial condensation is a real risk behind any lining. PET felt is unaffected by damp air and will not feed mould where a fabric-faced mineral product would.
The risk we design against here is condensation behind linings in older, poorly insulated 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 / Logistics
Supply into Germany, start to site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Hamburg or Bremerhaven, then road to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Hamburg |
| 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 and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order.
Sea freight into Hamburg or Bremerhaven, then road to site anywhere in Germany. 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
The things worth knowing before you place the order
-
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 Germany 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
Germany: questions we are actually asked
Is there a Germany 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 Germany as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India, shipped in container loads to German sites, specified against your drawings before anything leaves the factory. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What do you look at first on a Germany enquiry?
Altbau apartments with timber floors pass noise between homes. Post-war concrete holds it in and rings. The same room needs a different answer depending on which one you are in. Most German jobs arrive with an acoustician already involved. Send us the target values and we will tell you which build-up gets there, and which one will not. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Germany climate affect this product?
Germany is cool and damp, with long heating seasons and cold external walls. Cold wall build-ups and long heating seasons mean interstitial condensation is a real risk behind any lining. PET felt is unaffected by damp air and will not feed mould where a fabric-faced mineral product would. The failure we design against here is condensation behind linings in older, poorly insulated stock.
How quickly can material reach a site in Germany?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Hamburg or Bremerhaven, then road to site, dispatch: 4 to 7 working days. Standard items dispatch in 4 to 7 working days. Grooved and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order.
Where do acoustic foam and BassBloc fail to help?
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.
