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 / Start here
What this material is and where it earns its place in Hawaii
A tile carpet with a dense polyester face on a felt backing. It absorbs at the floor and, more usefully, kills footfall and chair scrape at the point they are generated.
Work reaching us from Hawaii is mostly resorts and hotels, timber housing, offices, schools, clinics, venues.
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.
- Loose lay on tackifier Tiles lifted individually for access under a raised floor, which is why tile beats broadloom in an office.
- Over a resilient underlay Where impact noise to the floor below is the actual complaint, the underlay does that work, not the carpet.
- Zoned Carpet in the circulation and meeting zones, hard floor elsewhere, so the treatment sits where the noise is made.
- What it will not do Carpet fixes footfall and chair noise and takes the edge off a live room. It will not deliver a reverberation target on its own, because the ceiling is almost always the bigger surface.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for acoustic carpet and rugs are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Hawaii.
02 / Data sheet
One specification sheet, the same in every market
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.
- Standard tile4 mm. Offices, classrooms, studios, corridors
| Tile size | 500 x 500 mm |
|---|---|
| Thickness | 4 mm |
| Face | High density polyester |
| Backing | Felt |
| Pack coverage | 64 sq ft per pack |
| Boxed | 20 kg, 55 x 55 x 15 cm |
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 / On the ground
What decides the build-up in Hawaii
- A genuinely long route
This is one of the longest legs we run. Ordering to a real schedule matters more here than anywhere, so we quote the full window.
- Buildings open to the trade winds
Louvres, lanais and openable walls mean there is often no envelope to isolate. We will tell you what cannot be fixed rather than sell around it.
- Salt air is relentless
PET felt does not absorb moisture, rot or corrode, which matters where almost everything else degrades quickly.
- Inter-island freight
Material bound for a neighbouring island has a second leg. Tell us and we pack for it.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Churches, school gyms and multipurpose halls double as performance spaces, which means a room designed for neither speech nor music has to carry both.
- 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.
If you are specifying for a Hawaii project, we can give you a section, a BOQ and the honest limits of each layer. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate and durability
Durability in Hawaii, before acoustics is discussed
Hawaii 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.
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 Hawaii, start to site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Honolulu, then road or inter-island onward |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Honolulu |
| Packing | Boxed, 64 sq ft per pack, 20 kg. Easy to carry up a stair, which matters on fit-out sites with no lift access. |
| Lead time | 4 to 7 working days. |
Standard items dispatch in 4 to 7 working days. The sea leg from India is long, so plan the full door to door window into the programme. We give real dates, not optimistic ones.
Sea freight into Honolulu, then road or inter-island onward. Air freight for samples only.
The same minimums apply on export.
| Carpet tiles | 320 sq ft, about 30 sq m |
|---|---|
| Rugs | 500 sq ft, about 46 sq m |
A pack of tiles covers 64 sq ft and weighs 20 kg boxed, so the tile minimum is exactly five packs and about 100 kg.
06 / Before you buy
The things worth knowing before you place the order
-
The wrong product for the problem
Carpet fixes footfall and chair noise and takes the edge off a live room. It will not deliver a reverberation target on its own, because the ceiling is almost always the bigger surface.
-
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.
-
Local approvals that nobody actually holds
We hold no Hawaii certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.
Hawaii: questions we are actually asked
Are these acoustic carpet and rugs made in Hawaii?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Hawaii as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Honolulu. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What changes the specification on a Hawaii job?
This is one of the longest legs we run. Ordering to a real schedule matters more here than anywhere, so we quote the full window. Louvres, lanais and openable walls mean there is often no envelope to isolate. We will tell you what cannot be fixed rather than sell around it. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Is this the right material for Hawaii conditions?
Hawaii 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.
When would material land on a Hawaii site?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Honolulu, then road or inter-island onward, dispatch: 4 to 7 working days. Standard items dispatch in 4 to 7 working days. The sea leg from India is long, so plan the full door to door window into the programme. We give real dates, not optimistic ones.
When are acoustic carpet and rugs the wrong purchase?
Carpet fixes footfall and chair noise and takes the edge off a live room. It will not deliver a reverberation target on its own, because the ceiling is almost always the bigger surface.
What is the minimum order and how is it packed?
The same minimums apply on export. Carpet tiles, 320 sq ft, about 30 sq m. Rugs, 500 sq ft, about 46 sq m. A pack of tiles covers 64 sq ft and weighs 20 kg boxed, so the tile minimum is exactly five packs and about 100 kg. Boxed, 64 sq ft per pack, 20 kg. Easy to carry up a stair, which matters on fit-out sites with no lift access.
