Office acoustics and soundproofing in Mohali
Three separate problems get called one problem: speech carrying across an open floor, meeting rooms that leak, and hard rooms that ring. Each has a different answer and mixing them up is how budgets get wasted. Agro processing and light engineering plant, with generator sets and machinery close to occupied buildings.
- Open plan
- Distraction distance, not reverberation time. Ceiling absorption plus screens at the desk.
- Meeting rooms
- Privacy between rooms. That is partition and door work, not panels.
- Cabins and calls
- Short RT so a call sounds clean. A small amount of well placed absorber.

01 / The material
What you are buying, and what it fixes in Mohali
Three separate problems get called one problem: speech carrying across an open floor, meeting rooms that leak, and hard rooms that ring. Each has a different answer and mixing them up is how budgets get wasted.
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.
- IT floors, hard finishes Open plans with glass and hard flooring carry every call. The ceiling plane usually has to do the work.
- 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.
- Open plan Distraction distance, not reverberation time. Ceiling absorption plus screens at the desk.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for office acoustics are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Mohali.

02 / The build-up
The stack, in the order it is installed
-
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.
On a 25 to 50 mm air gap. The same panel on battens. The air gap moves absorption down in frequency at no extra material cost, and is the cheapest improvement available.
-
Layer 2
Acoustic carpet and rugs
A tile carpet with a dense polyester face on a felt backing. 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.
Over a resilient underlay. Where impact noise to the floor below is the actual complaint, the underlay does that work, not the carpet.
-
Layer 3
SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl
A limp, high density sheet that adds mass to a partition, floor or duct without adding depth. In Mohali, large school and college campuses in concrete and tile, with halls carrying assembly and performance.
Floor, floating. Membrane under a resilient layer and a floating deck, so impact energy is broken before it reaches the slab.
If you are specifying for a Mohali project, we can give you a section, a BOQ and the honest limits of each layer. See how we support architects.
03 / Local conditions
What we see driving Mohali briefs
- IT floors, hard finishes
Open plans with glass and hard flooring carry every call. The ceiling plane usually has to do the work.
- 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.
- Next day from the plant
A few hours by road, so samples and replacements are straightforward.
- Plant and HVAC

Room by room, on a typical Mohali job
-
Open plan
Distraction distance, not reverberation time. Ceiling absorption plus screens at the desk. Open plans with glass and hard flooring carry every call. The ceiling plane usually has to do the work.
- Ceiling baffles and clouds, 100% PET non-woven, the panel family
- PET felt acoustic panels, 9, 12, 18 and 24 mm standard, tolerance plus or minus 5 percent
- Acoustic panels, Cut pattern in PET felt, adds visual rhythm without changing the absorber
-
Meeting rooms
Privacy between rooms. That is partition and door work, not panels. On a new campus the ceiling and partition can be designed properly, which costs a fraction of fixing it after handover.
- Ceiling baffles and clouds, 9 to 24 mm
- PET felt acoustic panels, 4 to 24 mm
- Acoustic panels, ASTM C423
-
Cabins and calls
Short RT so a call sounds clean. A small amount of well placed absorber. Pharmaceutical spaces where mechanical noise is a design problem rather than a comfort one.
- Ceiling baffles and clouds, Made to the drawing, standard and custom
- PET felt acoustic panels, 1220 x 2440 mm standard, 4 x 8 ft
- Acoustic panels, 9 to 24 mm, 1220 x 2440 mm standard, up to 2440 x 4270 mm, 1200 to 3600 GSM
Interior designers tend to arrive with the look already decided. We will tell you which finish gets there without losing the acoustics. See how we work with interior designers.
04 / Conditions
Durability in Mohali, before acoustics is discussed
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.
If a consultant has set the target, we will quote against their figures rather than ours, and stay out of the scope they own. More on working with acoustic consultants.
06 / Straight talk
Six mistakes that turn into a second fit-out
-
Lining every wall while leaving the ceiling bare
Square metre for square metre the ceiling is the cheapest result in the room. Skipping it and buying wall panels instead is the most common way to overspend.
-
Treating a privacy problem with absorption
If the complaint is being overheard, no amount of absorption inside the room will fix it. That is a partition job and we will say so.
-
Glass cabins specified without a door and head detail
Soundproofing fails at the gaps, not the materials. One unsealed service penetration can undo a correctly built wall.
-
Treating it as a generic Mohali job
Open plans with glass and hard flooring carry every call. The ceiling plane usually has to do the work.
05 / Supply
Getting it to Mohali, with real dates
| 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 office acoustics and soundproofing 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?
Open plan. Distraction distance, not reverberation time. Ceiling absorption plus screens at the desk. Meeting rooms. Privacy between rooms. That is partition and door work, not panels.
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?
Lining every wall while leaving the ceiling bare. Treating a privacy problem with absorption.
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
Tell us the room, we will tell you the 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.
