Manufactured in India, supplied in Mexico
Acoustic foam and BassBloc in Mexico
We manufacture acoustic foam and BassBloc at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Mexico. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Manzanillo on the Pacific or Veracruz on the Gulf, whichever suits the site better.

- BassBloc thickness
- 20 mm
- BassBloc density
- 100 kg per cubic metre
- Effective range
- 100 to 500 Hz
- BassBloc NRC

- 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 / Start here
What this is, and what it changes in a Mexico 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 Mexico is mostly manufacturing plants, corporate offices, hotels and resorts, apartments, schools, hospitals.
Concrete and block construction with hard tile floors, in apartment blocks and houses that share walls and slabs.
- 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 Mexico.
02 / Specification
The published figures, unchanged by location
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 |
Where a consultant is already engaged on a Mexico 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 we see driving Mexico briefs
- New plants at pace
Greenfield manufacturing going up quickly. Enclosure and partition detail designed in now costs a fraction of fixing it after commissioning.
- Block and concrete construction
Walls carry mass, so the usual problem is hard live rooms and plant noise rather than conversation through a wall.
- Two coasts, two ports
Manzanillo serves the west and centre, Veracruz the east. We route to whichever shortens your inland leg.
- Resort programmes are fixed
Coastal hotel openings do not move, so real dispatch and transit dates matter more than a marginally better price.
- The housing stock
Concrete and block construction with hard tile floors, in apartment blocks and houses that share walls and slabs.
- The studio and content scene
A very large music, dubbing and content sector working out of rooms inside commercial and residential buildings.
For a Mexico practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate
The Mexico climate decides the material list
Mexico 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.
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
How material reaches a Mexico site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Manzanillo or Veracruz, then road to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Manzanillo |
| Packing | Compressed and boxed for foam, palletised flat for BassBloc. |
| Lead time | 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.
Sea freight into Manzanillo or Veracruz, then road to site. Air freight for samples and urgent quantities.
The same minimums apply on export.
| 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 / Straight talk
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.
-
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.
-
A claim of being local to Mexico
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.

How it looks once it is installed
Mexico: questions we are actually asked
Are these acoustic foam and BassBloc made in Mexico?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Mexico as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Manzanillo on the Pacific or Veracruz on the Gulf, whichever suits the site better. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What do you look at first on a Mexico enquiry?
Greenfield manufacturing going up quickly. Enclosure and partition detail designed in now costs a fraction of fixing it after commissioning. Walls carry mass, so the usual problem is hard live rooms and plant noise rather than conversation through a wall. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Mexico climate affect this product?
Mexico 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.
How quickly can material reach a site in Mexico?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Manzanillo or Veracruz, then road to site, 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.
Where do acoustic foam and BassBloc fail to help?
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?
The same minimums apply on export. 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.
