Manufactured in India, supplied in Milan
Acoustic carpet and rugs in Milan
We manufacture acoustic carpet and rugs at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Milan. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Genoa or La Spezia, a short road run from the city, so the landed cost stays predictable.

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 material is and where it earns its place in Milan
A tile carpet with a dense polyester face on a felt backing. It absorbs at the floor and, more usefully, kills footfall and chair scrape at the point they are generated.
Work reaching us from Milan is mostly showrooms, studios, offices in Porta Nuova and CityLife, restaurants, hotels, apartments.
Masonry palazzi and later concrete blocks, with terrazzo and tile floors and shared courtyards that carry sound between flats.
- Loose lay on tackifier Tiles lifted individually for access under a raised floor, which is why tile beats broadloom in an office.
- Over a resilient underlay Where impact noise to the floor below is the actual complaint, the underlay does that work, not the carpet.
- Zoned Carpet in the circulation and meeting zones, hard floor elsewhere, so the treatment sits where the noise is made.
- What it will not do Carpet fixes footfall and chair noise and takes the edge off a live room. It will not deliver a reverberation target on its own, because the ceiling is almost always the bigger surface.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for acoustic carpet and rugs are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Milan.
02 / Specification
Published specification, identical wherever we ship it
We publish one data sheet for every market. If a supplier quotes you a different figure for the same product in a different city, one of the two numbers is wrong.
- Standard tile4 mm. Offices, classrooms, studios, corridors
| Tile size | 500 x 500 mm |
|---|---|
| Thickness | 4 mm |
| Face | High density polyester |
| Backing | Felt |
| Pack coverage | 64 sq ft per pack |
| Boxed | 20 kg, 55 x 55 x 15 cm |
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
The Milan conditions that change the answer
- Showrooms and retail fit-outs
Hard floors, glass and high ceilings are the look. Absorption has to go where it does the work and disappears, usually the ceiling plane and the upper wall.
- Towers with nothing soft in them
Porta Nuova and CityLife floors are glass to glass with raised floors and exposed slabs. Speech carries because there is nothing for it to land on.
- Courtyard buildings
The classic Milanese block puts flats, offices and a restaurant around one courtyard. Everything shares walls and slabs, so containment matters more than treatment.
- Design deadlines that do not move
Showroom and fair programmes run to a fixed opening. We give real dispatch and transit dates so the fit-out is not waiting on a container.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Churches, theatres and civic halls are stone and plaster volumes with decay times measured in seconds.
- The housing stock
Masonry palazzi and later concrete blocks, with terrazzo and tile floors and shared courtyards that carry sound between flats.
For a Milan practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate and durability
What the Milan climate rules in and rules out
Milan is hot dry summers and mild wet winters, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
The swing between a dry summer and a wet winter moves timber. PET felt is dimensionally stable across that swing; slat panels want a stable substrate and a ventilated fixing.
The risk we design against here is seasonal movement in timber and winter damp in unheated stock.
Designers get colour, pattern and CNC options with the absorption figure attached to each. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Getting it there
How material reaches a Milan site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Genoa or La Spezia, then a short road run north |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Genoa |
| Packing | Boxed, 64 sq ft per pack, 20 kg. Easy to carry up a stair, which matters on fit-out sites with no lift access. |
| Lead time | 4 to 7 working days. |
Standard items dispatch in 4 to 7 working days. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order.
Sea freight into Genoa or La Spezia, then road into Milan. Air freight for samples, colour approvals and urgent quantities.
The same minimums apply on export.
| Carpet tiles | 320 sq ft, about 30 sq m |
|---|---|
| Rugs | 500 sq ft, about 46 sq m |
A pack of tiles covers 64 sq ft and weighs 20 kg boxed, so the tile minimum is exactly five packs and about 100 kg.

Four honest warnings before you buy
-
The wrong product for the problem
Carpet fixes footfall and chair noise and takes the edge off a live room. It will not deliver a reverberation target on its own, because the ceiling is almost always the bigger surface.
-
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.
-
Local approvals that nobody actually holds
We hold no Milan certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.
Milan: questions we are actually asked
Are these acoustic carpet and rugs made in Milan?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Milan as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Genoa or La Spezia, a short road run from the city, so the landed cost stays predictable. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What decides the specification for a Milan project?
Hard floors, glass and high ceilings are the look. Absorption has to go where it does the work and disappears, usually the ceiling plane and the upper wall. The classic Milanese block puts flats, offices and a restaurant around one courtyard. Everything shares walls and slabs, so containment matters more than treatment. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Does Milan weather shorten the life of this material?
Milan is hot dry summers and mild wet winters. The swing between a dry summer and a wet winter moves timber. PET felt is dimensionally stable across that swing; slat panels want a stable substrate and a ventilated fixing. The failure we design against here is seasonal movement in timber and winter damp in unheated stock.
How does an order actually travel to Milan?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Genoa or La Spezia, then a short road run north, dispatch: 4 to 7 working days. Standard items dispatch in 4 to 7 working days. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order.
What will acoustic carpet and rugs not do?
Carpet fixes footfall and chair noise and takes the edge off a live room. It will not deliver a reverberation target on its own, because the ceiling is almost always the bigger surface.
What is the minimum order and how is it packed?
The same minimums apply on export. Carpet tiles, 320 sq ft, about 30 sq m. Rugs, 500 sq ft, about 46 sq m. A pack of tiles covers 64 sq ft and weighs 20 kg boxed, so the tile minimum is exactly five packs and about 100 kg. Boxed, 64 sq ft per pack, 20 kg. Easy to carry up a stair, which matters on fit-out sites with no lift access.
