Manufactured in India, supplied in Ireland
Wood wool acoustic panels in Ireland
We manufacture wood wool acoustic panels 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.

- 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 / The material
What you are buying, and what it fixes in Ireland
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 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.
- 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 Ireland.
02 / Data sheet
One specification sheet, the same in every market
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

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 / Local conditions
What we see driving Ireland briefs
- 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.
- School and campus buildings
School buildings run hard floors and lay-in ceilings with long corridors, and sports halls are the worst rooms in the building.
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 / Conditions
Why the climate in Ireland changes the material, not the target
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.
Designers get colour, pattern and CNC options with the absorption figure attached to each. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Getting it there
What the route into Ireland actually looks like
| 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 | 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 Dublin or Cork, then road to site. 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.

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 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 wood wool acoustic panels 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.
What do you look at first on a Ireland enquiry?
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.
What is the delivery time into 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.
Where do wood wool acoustic panels fail to help?
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?
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.
