Manufactured in India, supplied in Mexico
Wood wool acoustic panels in Mexico
We manufacture wood wool acoustic panels 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.

01 / The material
What this is, and what it changes in a Mexico 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 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.
- 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 Mexico.
02 / The numbers
Published specification, identical wherever we ship it
These figures are published and they do not move. The thing worth arguing about is not the number on the sheet, it is which grade and which build-up suits the room you are treating.
- Natural20 mm. Plant rooms, back of house, industrial
- Painted20 mm. Classrooms, halls, visible ceilings
| Panel size | 1200 x 600 mm |
|---|---|
| Thickness | 20 mm |
| Density | 400 kg per cubic metre |
| NRC | 0.30 |
| Test standards | ASTM C-423 and EN ISO 354 |
| Surface burning | Class A to ASTM E84 |
On a Mexico job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.
03 / On the ground
What the buildings in Mexico do to the specification
- Resort programmes are fixed
Coastal hotel openings do not move, so real dispatch and transit dates matter more than a marginally better price.
- 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.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Church buildings, event halls and auditoria are large hard volumes carrying amplified music.
- School and campus buildings
Classrooms are concrete and tile with large class sizes, and covered courtyards amplify everything.
If you are specifying for a Mexico project, we can give you a section, a BOQ and the honest limits of each layer. See how we support architects.
04 / Conditions
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
Supply into Mexico, start to 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 | 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 Manzanillo or Veracruz, then road to site. 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
What we will tell you that a reseller will not
-
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.
-
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.
Mexico: questions we are actually asked
Is there a Mexico factory behind this product?
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 changes the specification on a Mexico job?
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.
Is this the right material for Mexico conditions?
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 does an order actually travel to 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 wood wool acoustic panels fail to help?
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 quantity do we have to order, and in what packaging?
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.
