- 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 this is, and what it changes in a Las Vegas room
Timber slats on an acoustic backing. The slats are the finish and the rhythm, the backing does the absorbing. Used where the room has to look considered rather than treated.
Work reaching us from Las Vegas is mostly venues and showrooms, hotels and casinos, conference and event space, offices, multifamily.
American homes are timber frame with gypsum board on both faces, so a party wall or a basement ceiling has almost no mass. Adding a second leaf with a limp membrane between does more than any amount of surface treatment.
- Slats on felt backing The standard. Absorption comes from the backing behind the gaps, so the slat gap ratio is an acoustic decision, not only a visual one.
- Slats on a cavity Backing plus an air gap behind moves absorption lower, which matters in music rooms.
- Feature wall only Slats where they are seen, plain felt elsewhere, to hold the budget where it shows.
- What it will not do A tight slat pattern looks denser but absorbs less, because the open area is what lets sound reach the backing. If the visual you want and the RT target you need pull apart, we will tell you which one the pattern is serving.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for wooden slat panels are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Las Vegas.
02 / The numbers
Published specification, identical wherever we ship it
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.
- MDFStandard. Dry interiors, general commercial
- FR MDFFire rated. Public buildings and anywhere the specification calls for a class
- HDHMRMoisture resistant. Humid climates and rooms that see damp

Where a consultant is already engaged on a Las Vegas project, we supply to their specification and send the test reports rather than describing them. More on working with acoustic consultants.
03 / Local conditions
What the buildings in Las Vegas do to the specification
- Rooms judged at full capacity
A showroom or venue behaves nothing like it does empty. The design has to work when the room is packed, which is when it is being assessed.
- Enormous volumes
Conference and event spaces with very large cubic volume hold sound for a long time. Absorption has to go where it recovers intelligibility.
- Extreme dry heat
PET felt does not sag, shed fibre or break down at high temperature, which matters in roof voids and plant spaces that get genuinely hot.
- No port, so plan the road leg
Everything arrives at Long Beach and drives. We quote the sea leg and the road leg separately.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Churches, school gyms and multipurpose halls double as performance spaces, which means a room designed for neither speech nor music has to carry both.
Architects working in Las Vegas 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
Why the climate in Las Vegas changes the material, not the target
Las Vegas is mild summers and cold, wet winters, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
Cold external walls and long heating seasons make condensation behind a lining the thing to design out. PET felt is unaffected by damp air.
The risk we design against here is condensation and cold bridging behind new linings.
Designers get colour, pattern and CNC options with the absorption figure attached to each. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Route to site
What the route into Las Vegas actually looks like
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Long Beach, then road across to Las Vegas |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Long Beach, then road |
| Packing | Braced crates, slats supported along their length. Timber moves, so crates are kept flat and dry. |
| Lead time | Longer than felt. Confirmed against the pattern and substrate at quote stage. |
Standard items dispatch in 4 to 7 working days. The sea leg from India is long, so plan the full door to door window into the programme. We give real dates, not optimistic ones.
Sea freight into Long Beach, then road across to Las Vegas. Air freight for samples and urgent quantities.
The same 500 sq ft minimum applies on export.
| Any specification | 500 sq ft, about 46 sq m |
|---|
One unit covers 96 sq ft, so the minimum is a little over five units. Substrate, slat pattern, width and thickness can be mixed inside the same order.
06 / Straight talk
The things worth knowing before you place the order
-
The wrong product for the problem
A tight slat pattern looks denser but absorbs less, because the open area is what lets sound reach the backing. If the visual you want and the RT target you need pull apart, we will tell you which one the pattern is serving.
-
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 Las Vegas certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.
Las Vegas: questions we are actually asked
Are these wooden slat acoustic panels made in Las Vegas?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Las Vegas as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India, shipped into Long Beach and trucked across, with the road leg quoted separately so the dates are real. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
Why would a Las Vegas build-up differ from anywhere else?
A showroom or venue behaves nothing like it does empty. The design has to work when the room is packed, which is when it is being assessed. Conference and event spaces with very large cubic volume hold sound for a long time. Absorption has to go where it recovers intelligibility. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Las Vegas climate affect this product?
Las Vegas is mild summers and cold, wet winters. Cold external walls and long heating seasons make condensation behind a lining the thing to design out. PET felt is unaffected by damp air. The failure we design against here is condensation and cold bridging behind new linings.
When would material land on a Las Vegas site?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Long Beach, then road across to Las Vegas, dispatch: 4 to 7 working days. Standard items dispatch in 4 to 7 working days. The sea leg from India is long, so plan the full door to door window into the programme. We give real dates, not optimistic ones.
What will wooden slat acoustic panels not do?
A tight slat pattern looks denser but absorbs less, because the open area is what lets sound reach the backing. If the visual you want and the RT target you need pull apart, we will tell you which one the pattern is serving.
How is the order packed and what is the minimum?
The same 500 sq ft minimum applies on export. Any specification, 500 sq ft, about 46 sq m. One unit covers 96 sq ft, so the minimum is a little over five units. Substrate, slat pattern, width and thickness can be mixed inside the same order. Braced crates, slats supported along their length. Timber moves, so crates are kept flat and dry.

Send a plan and a section, get a real build-up
A plan and a section is enough. We will come back with a build-up, a BOQ and a delivered date, and we will say so if what you are asking for will not work.
