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 product
What this material is and where it earns its place in Hungary
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 Hungary is mostly automotive plants, offices and service centres, hotels, panel block housing, schools, hospitals.
Masonry blocks with timber floors in older stock and panel housing in concrete, both with hard finishes.
- 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 Hungary.
02 / Data sheet
The numbers, and they do not move by city
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 |
|---|---|
| Thickness | 20 mm |
| Density | 400 kg per cubic metre |
| NRC | 0.30 |
| Test standards | ASTM C-423 and EN ISO 354 |
| 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 / Local conditions
What the buildings in Hungary do to the specification
- Landlocked, so plan the inland leg
Koper then rail and road. We quote the sea leg and the inland leg separately so the programme runs on real dates.
- Automotive plant noise
Presses, robots and conveyors are low frequency and structure-borne. Enclosure at the source rather than absorption on a far wall.
- Panel block housing
Prefabricated concrete passes speech and footfall between flats through thin connected elements. Mass is the only reliable answer.
- Budapest conversions
Old buildings turned into offices and hotels, with tall rooms and hard plaster that hold sound far too long.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Church buildings, concert halls and civic rooms are stone and plaster volumes with long decay.
- School and campus buildings
School buildings are hard surfaced with long corridors and gymnasiums serving as halls.
For a Hungary practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
04 / Conditions
Durability in Hungary, before acoustics is discussed
Hungary is cool and damp, with long heating seasons and cold external walls, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
Cold wall build-ups and long heating seasons mean interstitial condensation is a real risk behind any lining. PET felt is unaffected by damp air and will not feed mould where a fabric-faced mineral product would.
The risk we design against here is condensation behind linings in older, poorly insulated stock.
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
Supply into Hungary, start to site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Koper, then rail and road inland |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Koper, then rail |
| 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 Koper, then rail and road inland. 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 / Before you buy
Where this goes wrong, said plainly
-
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.
-
Local approvals that nobody actually holds
We hold no Hungary certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.
Hungary: questions we are actually asked
Where are the wood wool acoustic panels you supply to Hungary actually made?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Hungary as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and routed through Koper, then rail and road inland. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What decides the specification for a Hungary project?
Koper then rail and road. We quote the sea leg and the inland leg separately so the programme runs on real dates. Presses, robots and conveyors are low frequency and structure-borne. Enclosure at the source rather than absorption on a far wall. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Does Hungary weather shorten the life of this material?
Hungary is cool and damp, with long heating seasons and cold external walls. Cold wall build-ups and long heating seasons mean interstitial condensation is a real risk behind any lining. PET felt is unaffected by damp air and will not feed mould where a fabric-faced mineral product would. The failure we design against here is condensation behind linings in older, poorly insulated stock.
How does an order actually travel to Hungary?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Koper, then rail and road inland, 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.
What should you not buy wood wool acoustic panels for?
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.

Drawings in, BOQ and a delivered date out
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.
