Manufactured in India, supplied in Jakarta
Acoustic foam and BassBloc in Jakarta
We manufacture acoustic foam and BassBloc at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Jakarta. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Tanjung Priok, inside the city, so the road leg to site is short.

- 1800 x 900 mm
- BassBloc thickness
- 20 mm
- BassBloc density
- 100 kg per cubic metre
- Effective range
- 100 to 500 Hz
- BassBloc NRC
- 0.85
- Lead time
- 4 to 7 working days
- Minimum order
- From 200 sq ft
- Made at our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, India
- One batch across the order, no blending between runs
- Test reports sent on request, not just quoted
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
What you are buying, and what it fixes in Jakarta
Open cell foam shapes for high frequency control, and BassBloc, a high density absorber built for the low mid range where ordinary foam does nothing.
Work reaching us from Jakarta is mostly towers and offices, apartments, hotels, hospitals, schools, studios.
Concrete frame with block infill in cities, timber and light construction outside them. Apartment stock shares walls and slabs that were never detailed for two households.
- Corner loading Low frequency energy collects in corners, so absorber in the corners does more than the same area spread across a wall.
- First reflection points Mirror trick placement on side walls and ceiling, which is a handful of panels rather than a lined room.
- Behind a fabric frame Where the room has to look finished, absorber inside a frame rather than foam on show.
- What it will not do Thin foam on a wall is the most over-sold product in this industry. It controls flutter and nothing below it.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for acoustic foam and bass traps are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Jakarta.
02 / Specification sheet
The numbers, and they do not move by city
Nothing below changes by location. The decisions that do change are grade, thickness and how the material is mounted, and those are covered further down.
- Foam wedge and pyramidLow density. Flutter and high frequency only
- BassBloc100 kg per cubic metre. Low mid absorption, control rooms, live rooms
| BassBloc size | 1800 x 900 mm |
|---|---|
| BassBloc thickness | 20 mm |
| BassBloc density | 100 kg per cubic metre |
| Effective range | 100 to 500 Hz |
| BassBloc NRC | 0.85 |
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.

What the buildings in Jakarta do to the specification
- Noise arrives from outside
Traffic and construction reach rooms through glazing and openings long before they come through a wall. Fix the weakest path first.
- Concrete towers, live interiors
The structure blocks well. The problem is tile, glass and stone inside making the room ring.
- Standby generation
Power backup sits close to occupied space in most commercial buildings and runs often enough to matter.
- The port is in the city
Tanjung Priok is close, which keeps the road leg short and the landed cost predictable.
- The housing stock
Concrete frame with block infill in cities, timber and light construction outside them. Apartment stock shares walls and slabs that were never detailed for two households.
- The studio and content scene
A large content and music scene works out of rooms in commercial buildings with thin partitions and constant neighbouring activity.
For a Jakarta practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate and durability
Durability in Jakarta, before acoustics is discussed
Jakarta is warm and humid through most of the year, with a long wet season, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
Humidity is the deciding factor. PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which is why it outlasts fabric-wrapped mineral wool in this climate. Wood wool and timber need a ventilated cavity behind them.
The risk we design against here is mould, sagging fabric finishes and swelling in timber.
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
How material reaches a Jakarta site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Tanjung Priok, then a short road run into the city |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Tanjung Priok |
| Packing | Compressed and boxed for foam, palletised flat for BassBloc. |
| 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 Tanjung Priok, then a short road run into the city. Air freight for samples and urgent quantities.
The same minimums apply on export.
| Acoustic foam | 200 sq ft, about 19 sq m |
|---|---|
| BassBloc | 300 sq ft, about 28 sq m |
| Bass traps | 10 pieces |
A BassBloc panel is 1800 x 900 mm, which is 1.62 sq m or about 17.4 sq ft, so the BassBloc minimum is roughly 17 panels.

The things worth knowing before you place the order
-
The wrong product for the problem
Thin foam on a wall is the most over-sold product in this industry. It controls flutter and nothing below it. If the complaint is boom, bass from a neighbour, or a room that sounds uneven at low frequency, foam is the wrong purchase and we will say so.
-
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.

Suppliers who imply a Jakarta presence
Ask any supplier where the material is made and who carries the warranty. We make it at Palwal in Haryana and we say so on every page, including this one.

Jakarta: questions we are actually asked
Is there a Jakarta factory behind this product?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Jakarta as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Tanjung Priok, inside the city, so the road leg to site is short. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What decides the specification for a Jakarta project?
Traffic and construction reach rooms through glazing and openings long before they come through a wall. Fix the weakest path first. The structure blocks well. The problem is tile, glass and stone inside making the room ring. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Is this the right material for Jakarta conditions?
Jakarta is warm and humid through most of the year, with a long wet season. Humidity is the deciding factor. PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which is why it outlasts fabric-wrapped mineral wool in this climate. Wood wool and timber need a ventilated cavity behind them. The failure we design against here is mould, sagging fabric finishes and swelling in timber.
When would material land on a Jakarta site?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Tanjung Priok, then a short road run into the city, 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 foam and BassBloc for?
Thin foam on a wall is the most over-sold product in this industry. It controls flutter and nothing below it. If the complaint is boom, bass from a neighbour, or a room that sounds uneven at low frequency, foam is the wrong purchase and we will say so.
Is there a minimum order, and how does it arrive?
The same minimums apply on export. Acoustic foam, 200 sq ft, about 19 sq m. BassBloc, 300 sq ft, about 28 sq m. Bass traps, 10 pieces. A BassBloc panel is 1800 x 900 mm, which is 1.62 sq m or about 17.4 sq ft, so the BassBloc minimum is roughly 17 panels. Compressed and boxed for foam, palletised flat for BassBloc.
