01 / What it is
The material, and what it actually does on a Ho Chi Minh City job
Wood fibre bound into a rigid board with an open texture. Robust, paintable and used where the surface takes knocks, which is why it ends up in schools, sports halls and plant rooms.
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.
- Direct fix Mechanically fixed to the soffit or wall. Durable and simple.
- On a cavity Mounted on battens with an air gap, which is where the low mid performance comes from.
- With a porous backing Board over mineral backing where the room needs more than the board alone gives.
- What it will not do At 20 mm it is a mid and high frequency absorber, not a bass solution, and painting it heavily will close the surface and reduce what it does. If a room needs low frequency control, depth or a cavity has to come from somewhere.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for wood wool panels are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Ho Chi Minh City.
02 / Specification
Published specification, identical wherever we ship it
These figures are published and they do not move. The thing worth arguing about is not the number on the sheet, it is which grade and which build-up suits the room you are treating.
- Natural20 mm. Plant rooms, back of house, industrial
- Painted20 mm. Classrooms, halls, visible ceilings
| Panel size | 1200 x 600 mm |
|---|---|

| Test standards | ASTM C-423 and EN ISO 354 |

Consultants get the raw data, not a sales sheet. That is the whole of our side of the job, and it is set out under working with acoustic consultants.
03 / In this market
What the buildings in Ho Chi Minh City do to the specification
- Tropical humidity all year
PET felt does not hold moisture or feed mould, which matters where mineral products sag within a couple of seasons.
- 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.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Function halls, places of worship and conference rooms are hard volumes carrying amplified speech and music.
- School and campus buildings
Classrooms are hard, naturally ventilated and open to street noise, with large class sizes.
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 and durability
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.
Interior designers tend to arrive with the look already decided. We will tell you which finish gets there without losing the acoustics. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Getting it there
How material reaches 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 |
| Freight | Sea via Cat Lai or Cai Mep |
| Packing | Palletised flat, edge protected. Boards are rigid but the edges chip, so they travel protected. |
| Lead time | 4 to 7 working days for standard sizes. |
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 finish | 500 sq ft, about 46 sq m |
|---|
A panel is 1200 x 600 mm, which is 0.72 sq m or about 7.75 sq ft, so the minimum is roughly 65 panels.
06 / Straight talk
Four honest warnings before you buy
-
The wrong product for the problem
At 20 mm it is a mid and high frequency absorber, not a bass solution, and painting it heavily will close the surface and reduce what it does. If a room needs low frequency control, depth or a cavity has to come from somewhere.
-
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 Ho Chi Minh City
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.
Ho Chi Minh City: questions we are actually asked
Are these wood wool acoustic panels made 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.
Why would a Ho Chi Minh City build-up differ from anywhere else?
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.
Will this material last in the Ho Chi Minh City climate?
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 wood wool acoustic panels the wrong purchase?
At 20 mm it is a mid and high frequency absorber, not a bass solution, and painting it heavily will close the surface and reduce what it does. If a room needs low frequency control, depth or a cavity has to come from somewhere.
What is the minimum order and how is it packed?
The same 500 sq ft minimum applies on export. Any finish, 500 sq ft, about 46 sq m. A panel is 1200 x 600 mm, which is 0.72 sq m or about 7.75 sq ft, so the minimum is roughly 65 panels. Palletised flat, edge protected. Boards are rigid but the edges chip, so they travel protected.
