For projects in Mohali
Hospital and healthcare acoustics in Mohali
Two duties at once: privacy where confidential conversations happen, and a lower noise floor where people are trying to rest. Hygiene and cleanability rule out a lot of products before acoustics is even discussed. Agro processing and light engineering plant, with generator sets and machinery close to occupied buildings.
- Consulting room privacy
- Speech privacy between rooms, which is partition, door and ceiling void work.
- Ward noise floor
- Alarms, trolleys and staff conversation in hard corridors. Absorption at the ceiling.
- Cleanability
- Non shedding, non absorbent surfaces that survive a cleaning regime.

01 / The product
What this is, and what it changes in a Mohali room
Two duties at once: privacy where confidential conversations happen, and a lower noise floor where people are trying to rest. Hygiene and cleanability rule out a lot of products before acoustics is even discussed.
Agro processing and light engineering plant, with generator sets and machinery close to occupied buildings.
Work reaching us from Mohali is mostly IT campuses, pharmaceutical plants, institutional buildings, offices, schools, clinics.
- New build, decisions still open On a new campus the ceiling and partition can be designed properly, which costs a fraction of fixing it after handover.
- Clean and controlled areas Pharmaceutical spaces where mechanical noise is a design problem rather than a comfort one.
- IT floors, hard finishes Open plans with glass and hard flooring carry every call. The ceiling plane usually has to do the work.
- Consulting room privacy Speech privacy between rooms, which is partition, door and ceiling void work.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for healthcare acoustics are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Mohali.
02 / The build-up
The build-up, layer by layer
-
Layer 1
PET felt acoustic panels
A rigid non-woven panel pressed from 100% polyester fibre, a large part of it recycled. In Mohali, agro processing and light engineering plant, with generator sets and machinery close to occupied buildings.
Direct to wall. Panel bonded or mechanically fixed flat to the substrate. Simplest, and the weakest at low frequency.
-
Layer 2
SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl
A limp, high density sheet that adds mass to a partition, floor or duct without adding depth. In Mohali, auditoriums, banquet halls and places of worship are large hard volumes in concrete and stone where speech falls apart long before anyone calls the room echoey.
Duct and plant wrap. Membrane wrapped over the duct with a decoupling layer beneath, sealed at every lap.
-
Layer 3
Acoustic panels
The full absorber range rather than one product: plain PET felt, printed felt, grooved panels and fabric finishes, chosen by how the room is used and how it has to look. In Mohali, large school and college campuses in concrete and tile, with halls carrying assembly and performance.
Mixed finish. Plain felt where it is out of eye line, printed or grooved where it is seen.
Architects working in Mohali usually need the build-up before the product. We will draw the section and mark what does the work. See how we support architects.
03 / In this market
What decides the build-up in Mohali
- New build, decisions still open
On a new campus the ceiling and partition can be designed properly, which costs a fraction of fixing it after handover.
- Clean and controlled areas
Pharmaceutical spaces where mechanical noise is a design problem rather than a comfort one.
- IT floors, hard finishes
Open plans with glass and hard flooring carry every call. The ceiling plane usually has to do the work.
- Next day from the plant
A few hours by road, so samples and replacements are straightforward.
- Plant and HVAC
Agro processing and light engineering plant, with generator sets and machinery close to occupied buildings.
04 / Room by room
What each space in a Mohali project needs
-
Consulting room privacy
Speech privacy between rooms, which is partition, door and ceiling void work. On a new campus the ceiling and partition can be designed properly, which costs a fraction of fixing it after handover.
- PET felt acoustic panels, 100% PET non-woven, no added binder
- Acoustic carpet and rugs, 4 mm
- SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl, STC 34, 8.4 kg per sq m
-
Ward noise floor
Alarms, trolleys and staff conversation in hard corridors. Absorption at the ceiling. Pharmaceutical spaces where mechanical noise is a design problem rather than a comfort one.
- PET felt acoustic panels, 9, 12, 18 and 24 mm standard, tolerance plus or minus 5 percent
- Acoustic carpet and rugs, High density polyester
- SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl, 12.6 kg per sq m, STC on request
-
Cleanability
Non shedding, non absorbent surfaces that survive a cleaning regime. Open plans with glass and hard flooring carry every call. The ceiling plane usually has to do the work.
- PET felt acoustic panels, 4 to 24 mm
- Acoustic carpet and rugs, Felt
- SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl, 5 x 1.2 m, 6 sq m per roll
For a Mohali interior where the finish leads, we will say plainly what each option costs you acoustically. See how we work with interior designers.
04 / Climate and durability
The Mohali climate decides the material list
Mohali is hot summers, mild winters and a distinct wet season, and that narrows the material list before acoustics is 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 failure we design against here is wet-season humidity behind linings.
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.
06 / Straight talk
What we watch go wrong on jobs like this
-
Fabric wrapped products in a clinical area
Noise with a source is fixed at the source. Treating the receiving room is the expensive way to get a small result.
-
Absorption used where privacy was the requirement
Nobody has ever achieved speech privacy with a panel. Privacy needs mass, a sealed head detail and a door that actually closes.
-
Ceiling void left open above a partition
A treated wall under a bare hard ceiling gives you a fraction of the reduction you paid for, and the room still sounds wrong.
-
Treating it as a generic Mohali job
On a new campus the ceiling and partition can be designed properly, which costs a fraction of fixing it after handover.
05 / Getting it there
Supply into Mohali, start to site
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | next day |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | next day |
| Support | Drawings, build-ups, BOQ and material that arrives complete |
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 kilometres, normally next day on a dedicated truck.
Questions from Mohali projects
What makes hospital and healthcare acoustics different in Mohali?
Agro processing and light engineering plant, with generator sets and machinery close to occupied buildings. On a new campus the ceiling and partition can be designed properly, which costs a fraction of fixing it after handover.
Where should the budget go first on a Mohali project?
Consulting room privacy. Speech privacy between rooms, which is partition, door and ceiling void work. Ward noise floor. Alarms, trolleys and staff conversation in hard corridors. Absorption at the ceiling.
Do you have an office or installation team in Mohali?
No. We manufacture in India and supply into Mohali. We give you drawings, build-ups, a BOQ and material that arrives complete, and we will tell you plainly when a job needs a local contractor we cannot be.
How does material get to a Mohali site?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: next day, 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 goes wrong most often on this kind of project?
Fabric wrapped products in a clinical area. Absorption used where privacy was the requirement.
What do you need from us to quote?
A plan, a section through the critical partition or ceiling, and what the room is for. From that we can give a build-up and a BOQ rather than a price per square foot.
Next step
Send a plan and a section, get a real build-up
A plan and a section is enough. We will come back with a build-up, a BOQ and a delivered date, and we will say so if what you are asking for will not work.
