- One batch across the order, no blending between runs

01 / What it is
The product, described honestly, for a Istanbul brief
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 Istanbul is mostly apartment blocks, hotels, offices and towers, restaurants, hospitals, schools.
Reinforced concrete blocks with block infill and hard floors, sharing slabs and light wells across dense neighbourhoods.
- 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 Istanbul.
02 / Specification
The numbers, and they do not move by city
We publish one data sheet for every market. If a supplier quotes you a different figure for the same product in a different city, one of the two numbers is wrong.
- 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 the buildings in Istanbul do to the specification
- Built to move
Seismic detailing means junctions that must stay flexible. An acoustic build-up cannot stiffen across a movement joint.
- Concrete blocks, live rooms
The structure carries mass, so the recurring problems are impact through slabs and interiors with nothing soft in them.
- A city that never goes quiet
Traffic, ferries and street life reach rooms through glazing rather than walls. Fix the facade path before the wall.
- Turkey manufactures too
Domestic supply exists, so we are worth importing where the specification, the colour consistency or the supply chain is the reason.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Mosques, cultural centres and function halls are tall hard volumes carrying amplified speech.
- The housing stock
Reinforced concrete blocks with block infill and hard floors, sharing slabs and light wells across dense neighbourhoods.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Durability
Why the climate in Istanbul changes the material, not the target
Istanbul is hot dry summers and mild wet winters, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
The swing between a dry summer and a wet winter moves timber. PET felt is dimensionally stable across that swing; slat panels want a stable substrate and a ventilated fixing.
The risk we design against here is seasonal movement in timber and winter damp in unheated 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 / Logistics
Supply into Istanbul, start to site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Ambarlı or Mersin, then road to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Ambarlı |
| 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 Ambarlı or Mersin, 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.

The things worth knowing before you place the order
-
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.
-
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 Istanbul certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.
Istanbul: questions we are actually asked
Where are the acoustic carpet and rugs you supply to Istanbul actually made?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Istanbul as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Ambarlı or Mersin, then road to site. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What changes the specification on a Istanbul job?
Seismic detailing means junctions that must stay flexible. An acoustic build-up cannot stiffen across a movement joint. The structure carries mass, so the recurring problems are impact through slabs and interiors with nothing soft in them. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Does Istanbul weather shorten the life of this material?
Istanbul is hot dry summers and mild wet winters. The swing between a dry summer and a wet winter moves timber. PET felt is dimensionally stable across that swing; slat panels want a stable substrate and a ventilated fixing. The failure we design against here is seasonal movement in timber and winter damp in unheated stock.
How quickly can material reach a site in Istanbul?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Ambarlı or Mersin, 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 should you not buy acoustic carpet and rugs for?
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.
How is the order packed and what is the minimum?
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.
