Manufactured in India, supplied in Madurai
Wood wool acoustic panels in Madurai
We manufacture wood wool acoustic panels at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Madurai. Madurai is a temple city with a textile base, in dry heat, and most of the work is very large rooms handling very large numbers of people.

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 Madurai
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 Madurai is mostly assembly and dining halls, hotels, textile units, colleges, hospitals, offices.
RC frame houses and apartments with hard floors, built for heat and humidity with open plan layouts that carry sound room to room.
- 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 Madurai.
02 / Data sheet
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

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 / In this market
What we see driving Madurai briefs
- Very large assembly spaces
Halls holding continuous crowds in hard stone and concrete, where intelligibility fails long before the room sounds obviously wrong.
- Textile machinery
Continuous machine noise in units close to housing. Enclosure at the source rather than lining the hall.
- Dry heat
PET felt does not sag, shed fibre or degrade at high temperature, which matters in roof voids and sealed conditioned rooms.
- Five days by road
A long run, confirmed before dispatch, with samples sent ahead of the order.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Kalyana mandapams, temple halls and auditoria are very large hard volumes carrying amplified speech and music.
- School and campus buildings
Very large school and college campuses in concrete and tile, with auditoria and seminar halls used constantly.
Architects working in Madurai 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 / Climate and durability
Durability in Madurai, before acoustics is discussed
Madurai 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.
For a Madurai interior where the finish leads, we will say plainly what each option costs you acoustically. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Supply
How material reaches a Madurai site
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | five days |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | five days |
| 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 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 twenty four hundred kilometres, normally five days on a dedicated truck.
500 sq ft, about 46 sq m.
| 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 / Straight talk
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.
-
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.

A claim of being local to Madurai
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.
Madurai: questions we are actually asked
Do you manufacture wood wool acoustic panels in Madurai?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Madurai as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Madurai is a temple city with a textile base, in dry heat, and most of the work is very large rooms handling very large numbers of people. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What decides the specification for a Madurai project?
Halls holding continuous crowds in hard stone and concrete, where intelligibility fails long before the room sounds obviously wrong. Continuous machine noise in units close to housing. Enclosure at the source rather than lining the hall. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Is this the right material for Madurai conditions?
Madurai 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 Madurai?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: five 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.
When are wood wool acoustic panels the wrong purchase?
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.
What is the minimum order and how is it packed?
500 sq ft, about 46 sq m. 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.
