Manufactured in India, supplied in Goa
Wooden slat acoustic panels in Goa
We manufacture wooden slat acoustic panels at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Goa. Goa is hospitality, coastal damp and a licensing conversation about how loud a venue can be after dark.

This comes from our own plant, not a trading desk. We do not have an office in your city and we will not invent one. What we can give you is factory pricing, consistent material and a technical answer before you commit.
01 / The material
What this is, and what it changes in a Goa room
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 Goa is mostly resorts and hotels, beach clubs and restaurants, villas, guest rooms, clinics, offices.
Villas, apartments and older Portuguese era houses with tile and stone floors, in a humid coastal climate with heavy monsoon.
- 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 Goa.
02 / Data sheet
Published specification, identical wherever we ship it
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

Where a consultant is already engaged on a Goa 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
The Goa conditions that change the answer
- Loud inside, quiet at the boundary
A club or beach venue has to hold its energy and keep it off the neighbours after hours. That is containment, and it decides whether the operation keeps trading.
- Guest rooms fail at the door
Corridor noise and the room next door generate more complaints than the room acoustics ever do. Door and wall detailing does that work.
- Salt air and heavy monsoon
PET felt does not absorb moisture, rot or feed mould, which matters where mineral products sag within a single season here.
- Season dates are fixed
The season does not move. We give real dispatch and transit dates so a fit-out is not waiting on a truck.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Church buildings, resort function rooms and clubs carry amplified music at high level in hard volumes.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Conditions
The Goa climate decides the material list
Goa 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.
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 / Supply
Getting it to Goa, with real dates
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | three to four days |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | three to four 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 sixteen hundred kilometres, normally three to four 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 / Straight talk
Where this goes wrong, said plainly
-
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.
-
A number chased without a measurement
If nobody has measured the room or set a target, the specification is a guess with a decimal point in it. We will ask for the target before we quote the quantity.

Suppliers who imply a Goa 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.
Goa: questions we are actually asked
Are these wooden slat acoustic panels made in Goa?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Goa as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Goa is hospitality, coastal damp and a licensing conversation about how loud a venue can be after dark. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What changes the specification on a Goa job?
A club or beach venue has to hold its energy and keep it off the neighbours after hours. That is containment, and it decides whether the operation keeps trading. Corridor noise and the room next door generate more complaints than the room acoustics ever do. Door and wall detailing does that work. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Does Goa weather shorten the life of this material?
Goa 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 does an order actually travel to Goa?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: three to four 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.
Where do wooden slat acoustic panels fail to help?
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.
