Manufactured in India, supplied in Ludhiana
Acoustic foam and BassBloc in Ludhiana
We manufacture acoustic foam and BassBloc at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Ludhiana. Ludhiana runs on textile and knitting machinery, and knitting machinery is genuinely loud for the people standing next to it all day.
- 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
- 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 / The material
What this is, and what it changes in a Ludhiana room
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 Ludhiana is mostly knitting and textile units, workshops, worker areas, offices, showrooms, schools, clinics.
Independent houses and RC frame apartments with stone and tile floors, in towns with agricultural and light industrial activity nearby.
- 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 Ludhiana.
02 / Specification
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.
03 / On the ground
What the buildings in Ludhiana do to the specification
- Machine noise, all shift
Knitting and processing machines run continuously. The honest fix is enclosing or barriering the machine, not lining the walls of the hall.
- Industry beside housing
Units sit close to homes, so noise leaving the building matters as much as noise inside it. Those are two different treatments.
- Hard halls, no intelligibility
Large sheds with steel and concrete surfaces make instructions and alarms hard to understand. Targeted absorption fixes that without touching the machines.
- One to two days by road
A dedicated truck from Palwal, with samples sent ahead so you can check the material before committing.
- The housing stock
Independent houses and RC frame apartments with stone and tile floors, in towns with agricultural and light industrial activity nearby.
- The studio and content scene
Studios go into basements, terrace rooms and back rooms with neighbours on every side and a generator somewhere in the lane. Isolating from the building has to come before treating the room.
For a Ludhiana practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate
What the Ludhiana climate rules in and rules out
Ludhiana is hot summers, mild winters and a distinct wet season, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
PET felt handles the wet months without absorbing moisture or feeding mould. Timber and wood wool want a ventilated cavity and a stable indoor RH.
The risk we design against here is wet-season humidity behind linings.
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 / Getting it there
How material reaches a Ludhiana site
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | one to two days |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | one to two days |
| Packing | Compressed and boxed for foam, palletised flat for BassBloc. |
| 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 three hundred and fifty kilometres. Full loads on a dedicated truck, smaller consignments on a shared vehicle.
200 sq ft for acoustic foam, 300 sq ft for BassBloc, 10 pieces for bass traps.
| 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.
06 / Before you buy
Where this goes wrong, said plainly
-
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.
-
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.
-
Local approvals that nobody actually holds
We hold no Ludhiana certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.

Ludhiana: questions we are actually asked
Do you manufacture acoustic foam and BassBloc in Ludhiana?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Ludhiana as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Ludhiana runs on textile and knitting machinery, and knitting machinery is genuinely loud for the people standing next to it all day. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What decides the specification for a Ludhiana project?
Knitting and processing machines run continuously. The honest fix is enclosing or barriering the machine, not lining the walls of the hall. Units sit close to homes, so noise leaving the building matters as much as noise inside it. Those are two different treatments. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Does Ludhiana weather shorten the life of this material?
Ludhiana is hot summers, mild winters and a distinct wet season. PET felt handles the wet months without absorbing moisture or feeding mould. Timber and wood wool want a ventilated cavity and a stable indoor RH. The failure we design against here is wet-season humidity behind linings.
When would material land on a Ludhiana site?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: one to two 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 will acoustic foam and BassBloc not do?
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.
How is the order packed and what is the minimum?
200 sq ft for acoustic foam, 300 sq ft for BassBloc, 10 pieces for bass traps. 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.
