Manufactured in India, supplied in Las Vegas
Wood wool acoustic panels in Las Vegas
We manufacture wood wool acoustic panels at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Las Vegas. 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.

01 / The product
What this is, and what it changes in a Las Vegas room
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 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.
- 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 Las Vegas.
02 / The numbers
Published specification, identical wherever we ship it
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.
- Natural20 mm. Plant rooms, back of house, industrial
- Painted20 mm. Classrooms, halls, visible ceilings
| Panel size | 1200 x 600 mm |

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 / What drives the brief
The Las Vegas conditions that change the answer
- 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.
- School and campus buildings
Public school buildings run long corridors with hard floors and lay-in tile ceilings that were chosen for cost, not for speech. Classroom reverberation and corridor spill are the two complaints, and both respond to ceiling area rather than wall panels.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate
Durability in Las Vegas, before acoustics is discussed
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.
For a Las Vegas interior where the finish leads, we will say plainly what each option costs you acoustically. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Logistics
Getting it to Las Vegas, with real dates
| 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 | 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. 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 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.
06 / Worth knowing
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.
-
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 wood wool 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.
What decides the specification for a Las Vegas project?
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.
Is this the right material for Las Vegas conditions?
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.
How quickly can material reach a site in Las Vegas?
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 wood wool acoustic panels 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.
Is there a minimum order, and how does it arrive?
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.
