Manufactured in India, supplied in Kolkata
Acoustic carpet and rugs in Kolkata

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 / The material
What you are buying, and what it fixes in Kolkata
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 Kolkata is mostly old buildings and conversions, offices, clubs and restaurants, schools, clinics, auditoriums.
Older masonry buildings and newer RC frame apartments with hard floors, in very dense neighbourhoods with heavy monsoon damp.
- 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 Kolkata.
02 / Specification sheet
The numbers, and they do not move by city
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 |
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.
03 / In this market
What the buildings in Kolkata do to the specification
- Humid most of the year
PET felt does not hold moisture or feed mould, which matters where mineral products sag within a couple of seasons.
- Tall rooms, hard plaster
High ceilings and lime plaster hold sound for a long time. A room can look magnificent and still defeat anyone trying to speak in it.
- Timber floors between floors
Footfall travels straight down through the joists. A resilient layer under the new finish does more than anything applied to the ceiling below.
- The structure is staying
Conversions here keep the original fabric, so the work has to be internal, shallow and ideally reversible.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Auditoria, community halls and pandal spaces carry amplified speech and music at high level.
- The housing stock
Older masonry buildings and newer RC frame apartments with hard floors, in very dense neighbourhoods with heavy monsoon damp.
For a Kolkata practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
04 / Conditions
The Kolkata climate decides the material list
Kolkata 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.
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
What the route into Kolkata actually looks like
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | three days |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | three days |
| 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 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 fourteen hundred kilometres, normally three days on a dedicated truck.
320 sq ft for carpet tiles, 500 sq ft for rugs.
| Carpet tiles | 320 sq ft, about 30 sq m, 5 packs |
|---|---|
| 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 / Worth knowing
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.
-
A number chased without a measurement
If nobody has measured the room or set a target, the specification is a guess with a decimal point in it. We will ask for the target before we quote the quantity.
-
A claim of being local to Kolkata
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.
Kolkata: questions we are actually asked
Do you manufacture acoustic carpet and rugs in Kolkata?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Kolkata as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Kolkata has the oldest building stock we work with regularly. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What decides the specification for a Kolkata project?
High ceilings and lime plaster hold sound for a long time. A room can look magnificent and still defeat anyone trying to speak in it. Footfall travels straight down through the joists. A resilient layer under the new finish does more than anything applied to the ceiling below. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Does Kolkata weather shorten the life of this material?
Kolkata 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.
How quickly can material reach a site in Kolkata?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: three 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 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.
What quantity do we have to order, and in what packaging?
320 sq ft for carpet tiles, 500 sq ft for rugs. Carpet tiles, 320 sq ft, about 30 sq m, 5 packs. 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.
