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 product
What this material is and where it earns its place in Ho Chi Minh City
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 Ho Chi Minh City is mostly tube houses and apartments, towers and offices, manufacturing, hotels, schools, clinics.
Tube houses and apartment towers in concrete and block, sharing walls with neighbours on both sides and hard floors throughout.
- 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 Ho Chi Minh City.
02 / Specification 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.
- 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 Ho Chi Minh City project, we supply to their specification and send the test reports rather than describing them. More on working with acoustic consultants.
03 / In this market
The Ho Chi Minh City conditions that change the answer
- Narrow, deep, shared on both sides
The tube house has party walls left and right and an open front onto the street, so noise arrives from three directions at once.
- Traffic never stops
Constant street noise gets in through openings and glazing. The facade is where the first money should go, not the wall.
- New towers, hard interiors
Concrete frames with tile and glass inside. The structure blocks, the room rings.
- Tropical humidity all year
PET felt does not hold moisture or feed mould, which matters where mineral products sag within a couple of seasons.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Function halls, places of worship and conference rooms are hard volumes carrying amplified speech and music.
Architects working in Ho Chi Minh City usually need the build-up before the product. We will draw the section and mark what does the work. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate
The Ho Chi Minh City climate decides the material list
Ho Chi Minh City 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.
Designers get colour, pattern and CNC options with the absorption figure attached to each. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Supply
Getting it to Ho Chi Minh City, with real dates
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Cat Lai or Cai Mep, then a short road run into the city |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Cat Lai or Cai Mep |
| 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 4 to 7 working days. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
Sea freight into Cat Lai or Cai Mep, then a short road run into the city. Air freight for samples and urgent quantities.
The same 500 sq ft minimum applies on export.
| 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.

The things worth knowing before you place the order
-
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 Ho Chi Minh City 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.
Ho Chi Minh City: questions we are actually asked
Do you manufacture wooden slat acoustic panels in Ho Chi Minh City?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Ho Chi Minh City as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Cat Lai or Cai Mep, then a short road run into the city. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What changes the specification on a Ho Chi Minh City job?
The tube house has party walls left and right and an open front onto the street, so noise arrives from three directions at once. Constant street noise gets in through openings and glazing. The facade is where the first money should go, not the wall. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Ho Chi Minh City climate affect this product?
Ho Chi Minh City 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.
When would material land on a Ho Chi Minh City site?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Cat Lai or Cai Mep, then a short road run into the city, 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.
When are wooden slat acoustic panels the wrong purchase?
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.
How is the order packed and what is the minimum?
The same 500 sq ft minimum applies on export. 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.

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.
