Manufactured in India, supplied in Ireland
Acoustic carpet and rugs in Ireland
We manufacture acoustic carpet and rugs at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Ireland. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Dublin or Cork, with realistic transit dates given up front so a build programme is not planned around a guess.

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 / What it is
The material, and what it actually does on a Ireland job
A tile carpet with a dense polyester face on a felt backing. It absorbs at the floor and, more usefully, kills footfall and chair scrape at the point they are generated.
Work reaching us from Ireland is mostly apartment schemes, plant and industrial buildings, offices, schools, clinics, studios.
Terraced and semi-detached housing with block party walls and timber upper floors. Apartment stock is concrete with hard finishes throughout.
- Loose lay on tackifier Tiles lifted individually for access under a raised floor, which is why tile beats broadloom in an office.
- Over a resilient underlay Where impact noise to the floor below is the actual complaint, the underlay does that work, not the carpet.
- Zoned Carpet in the circulation and meeting zones, hard floor elsewhere, so the treatment sits where the noise is made.
- What it will not do Carpet fixes footfall and chair noise and takes the edge off a live room. It will not deliver a reverberation target on its own, because the ceiling is almost always the bigger surface.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for acoustic carpet and rugs are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Ireland.
02 / The numbers
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.
- Standard tile4 mm. Offices, classrooms, studios, corridors
| Tile size | 500 x 500 mm |
|---|---|
| Thickness | 4 mm |
| Face | High density polyester |
| Backing | Felt |
| Pack coverage | 64 sq ft per pack |
| Boxed | 20 kg, 55 x 55 x 15 cm |
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 Ireland
- New build means decisions are still open
Isolation designed into the drawing costs a fraction of retrofitting it after handover. Send the sections early and we will mark where a build-up will disappoint.
- Apartment schemes at scale
The same separating wall repeated across hundreds of units. A detail that is slightly wrong is wrong everywhere, so consistency matters more than the headline figure.
- Industrial and plant noise
Process plant, generators and cooling equipment sit close to occupied space and close to neighbours. That is a mass and isolation job, not an absorption job.
- Damp, mild climate
Our PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which matters on cold external walls and in sealed rooms.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Church buildings, parish halls and school halls carry speech and music in the same hard volume.
- The housing stock
Terraced and semi-detached housing with block party walls and timber upper floors. Apartment stock is concrete with hard finishes throughout.
Architects working in Ireland 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 / Durability
What the Ireland climate rules in and rules out
Ireland 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.
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 / Route to site
Supply into Ireland, start to site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Dublin or Cork, then road to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Dublin or Cork |
| Packing | Boxed, 64 sq ft per pack, 20 kg. Easy to carry up a stair, which matters on fit-out sites with no lift access. |
| Lead time | 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.
Sea freight into Dublin or Cork, then road to site. Air freight for samples and urgent quantities.
The same minimums apply on export.
| Carpet tiles | 320 sq ft, about 30 sq m |
|---|---|
| Rugs | 500 sq ft, about 46 sq m |
A pack of tiles covers 64 sq ft and weighs 20 kg boxed, so the tile minimum is exactly five packs and about 100 kg.
06 / Straight talk
What we will tell you that a reseller will not
-
The wrong product for the problem
Carpet fixes footfall and chair noise and takes the edge off a live room. It will not deliver a reverberation target on its own, because the ceiling is almost always the bigger surface.
-
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 Ireland
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.
Ireland: questions we are actually asked
Are these acoustic carpet and rugs made in Ireland?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Ireland as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Dublin or Cork, with realistic transit dates given up front so a build programme is not planned around a guess. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
Why would a Ireland build-up differ from anywhere else?
Isolation designed into the drawing costs a fraction of retrofitting it after handover. Send the sections early and we will mark where a build-up will disappoint. The same separating wall repeated across hundreds of units. A detail that is slightly wrong is wrong everywhere, so consistency matters more than the headline figure. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Ireland climate affect this product?
Ireland 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 quickly can material reach a site in Ireland?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Dublin or Cork, then road to site, 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 will acoustic carpet and rugs not do?
Carpet fixes footfall and chair noise and takes the edge off a live room. It will not deliver a reverberation target on its own, because the ceiling is almost always the bigger surface.
Is there a minimum order, and how does it arrive?
The same minimums apply on export. Carpet tiles, 320 sq ft, about 30 sq m. Rugs, 500 sq ft, about 46 sq m. A pack of tiles covers 64 sq ft and weighs 20 kg boxed, so the tile minimum is exactly five packs and about 100 kg. Boxed, 64 sq ft per pack, 20 kg. Easy to carry up a stair, which matters on fit-out sites with no lift access.
