Manufactured in India, supplied in Hosur
Wood wool acoustic panels in Hosur
We manufacture wood wool acoustic panels at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Hosur. Hosur is a manufacturing town on the edge of Bengaluru, and most of what we supply goes into new plants and the offices attached to them.

01 / What it is
The product, described honestly, for a Hosur brief
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 Hosur is mostly electronics and automotive plants, test and QC rooms, offices, canteens, training rooms, hostels.
RC frame houses and apartments with hard floors, built for heat and humidity with open plan layouts that carry sound room to room.
- 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 Hosur.
02 / Data sheet
Published specification, identical wherever we ship it
The specification below is the same everywhere we supply, because a specification that changed by city would not be a specification. What changes is which grade and build-up is the right buy, and that is what the rest of this page is about.
- Natural20 mm. Plant rooms, back of house, industrial
- Painted20 mm. Classrooms, halls, visible ceilings
| Panel size | 1200 x 600 mm |
|---|---|
| Thickness | 20 mm |

| Surface burning | Class A to ASTM E84 |
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 / What drives the brief
The Hosur conditions that change the answer
- New plants, decisions still open
On a greenfield build the enclosure and the partition can be designed in, which costs a fraction of fixing it after commissioning.
- Test and clean areas
QC and measurement rooms need a low background before any result means anything. That is isolation with a written target.
- Canteens and training rooms
Large hard rooms where hundreds of people eat or listen. Ceiling absorption does almost all of the work.
- Four to five days by road
A dedicated truck from Palwal, with samples sent ahead so the finish is approved before the order.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Kalyana mandapams, temple halls and auditoria are very large hard volumes carrying amplified speech and music.
- School and campus buildings
Very large school and college campuses in concrete and tile, with auditoria and seminar halls used constantly.
If you are specifying for a Hosur project, we can give you a section, a BOQ and the honest limits of each layer. See how we support architects.
04 / Durability
The Hosur climate decides the material list
Hosur 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 / Route to site
What the route into Hosur actually looks like
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | four to five days |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | four to five days |
| 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 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 two thousand two hundred kilometres, normally four to five days on a dedicated truck.
500 sq ft, about 46 sq m.
| 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.

What we will tell you that a reseller will not
-
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.
-
Square footage quoted before the room is understood
Anyone can price a wall. Working out how much material the room actually needs usually reduces the order, which is why not everyone does it.

A claim of being local to Hosur
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.
Hosur: questions we are actually asked
Where are the wood wool acoustic panels you supply to Hosur actually made?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Hosur as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Hosur is a manufacturing town on the edge of Bengaluru, and most of what we supply goes into new plants and the offices attached to them. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
Why would a Hosur build-up differ from anywhere else?
On a greenfield build the enclosure and the partition can be designed in, which costs a fraction of fixing it after commissioning. QC and measurement rooms need a low background before any result means anything. That is isolation with a written target. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Does Hosur weather shorten the life of this material?
Hosur 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 quickly can material reach a site in Hosur?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: four to five 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.
What will wood wool acoustic panels 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.
What quantity do we have to order, and in what packaging?
500 sq ft, about 46 sq m. 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.
