Manufactured in India, supplied in Indore
Wood wool acoustic panels in Indore
We manufacture wood wool acoustic panels at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Indore. Indore is growing quickly and building new, which means the acoustics can still be designed rather than retrofitted.

- Thickness
- 20 mm
- Density
- 400 kg per cubic metre
- NRC
- 0.30
- Test standards
- ASTM C-423 and EN ISO 354
- Lead time

- Minimum order
- 500 sq ft, about 46 sq m
- ASTM C-423 and EN ISO 354
- Made at our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, India
- One batch across the order, no blending between runs
We are the manufacturer. There is no local office and we do not claim approvals we do not hold. What you get is factory pricing, one consistent batch across the order, and a straight answer on what the material will and will not do.
01 / Start here
The product, described honestly, for a Indore 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 Indore is mostly colleges and schools, hospitals, offices, food processing units, auditoriums, hotels.
RC frame apartments and independent houses with stone and tile floors, in a dry climate with dusty summers.
- 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 Indore.
02 / Data sheet
The numbers, and they do not move by city
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 |

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.

What decides the build-up in Indore
- New buildings, late decisions
Concrete and tile put up quickly, with the acoustic problem discovered at handover. Early drawings are worth more than extra material later.
- Food processing plant
Continuous machinery and packing lines close to occupied areas. Enclosure at the source rather than lining the hall.
- Teaching and assembly
Large lecture rooms and halls where speech fails long before anyone calls the room echoey.
- Two days by road
A manageable run, so freight stays reasonable and samples arrive before the order is placed.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Auditoriums, banquet halls and places of worship are large hard volumes in concrete and stone where speech falls apart long before anyone calls the room echoey.
- School and campus buildings
Large school and college campuses in concrete and tile with halls used for assembly and examinations.
If you are specifying for a Indore project, we can give you a section, a BOQ and the honest limits of each layer. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate
What the Indore climate rules in and rules out
Indore 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.
If the visual is fixed and the room still has to perform, that is a solvable problem and a conversation worth having early. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Getting it there
How material reaches a Indore site
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | two days |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | two 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 nine hundred kilometres, normally two 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.
06 / Before you buy
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.
-
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 Indore
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.
Indore: questions we are actually asked
Are these wood wool acoustic panels made in Indore?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Indore as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Indore is growing quickly and building new, which means the acoustics can still be designed rather than retrofitted. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What do you look at first on a Indore enquiry?
Concrete and tile put up quickly, with the acoustic problem discovered at handover. Early drawings are worth more than extra material later. Continuous machinery and packing lines close to occupied areas. Enclosure at the source rather than lining the hall. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Does Indore weather shorten the life of this material?
Indore 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 Indore site?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: two 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.
How is the order packed and what is the minimum?
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.
