Manufactured in India, supplied in Moldova
Wooden slat acoustic panels in Moldova
We manufacture wooden slat acoustic panels at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Moldova. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Constanța in Romania, then road across the border.

We make this ourselves and ship it to you. No local branch, no borrowed certifications, no dealer margin. One batch across the whole order, and an honest answer when the product is wrong for the problem.
01 / The product
What this is, and what it changes in a Moldova room
Timber slats on an acoustic backing. The slats are the finish and the rhythm, the backing does the absorbing. Used where the room has to look considered rather than treated.
Work reaching us from Moldova is mostly panel block housing, offices, hotels and wine tourism, schools, hospitals, venues.
Soviet era panel blocks with concrete walls and no impact isolation, alongside newer concrete construction.
- Slats on felt backing The standard. Absorption comes from the backing behind the gaps, so the slat gap ratio is an acoustic decision, not only a visual one.
- Slats on a cavity Backing plus an air gap behind moves absorption lower, which matters in music rooms.
- Feature wall only Slats where they are seen, plain felt elsewhere, to hold the budget where it shows.
- What it will not do A tight slat pattern looks denser but absorbs less, because the open area is what lets sound reach the backing. If the visual you want and the RT target you need pull apart, we will tell you which one the pattern is serving.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for wooden slat panels are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Moldova.
02 / Specification
The published figures, unchanged by location
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.
- MDFStandard. Dry interiors, general commercial
- FR MDFFire rated. Public buildings and anywhere the specification calls for a class
- HDHMRMoisture resistant. Humid climates and rooms that see damp

Where a consultant is already engaged on a Moldova project, we supply to their specification and send the test reports rather than describing them. More on working with acoustic consultants.
03 / In this market
What we see driving Moldova briefs
- Hospitality and tasting rooms
Wine tourism spaces in stone and vaulted cellars, which hold sound for a very long time.
- Landlocked, through a neighbour
Constanța then road across a border. We quote the sea leg and the road leg separately so the date is real.
- Panel block housing
Prefabricated concrete passes speech and footfall between flats through thin connected elements. Mass and decoupling, not surface treatment.
- A small market, sensible quantities
We would rather quote a part load that works than a container you do not need.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Church buildings and civic halls are tall hard volumes with long reverberation.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate
Durability in Moldova, before acoustics is discussed
Moldova is mild summers and cold, wet winters, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
Cold external walls and long heating seasons make condensation behind a lining the thing to design out. PET felt is unaffected by damp air.
The risk we design against here is condensation and cold bridging behind new linings.
For a Moldova interior where the finish leads, we will say plainly what each option costs you acoustically. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Getting it there
Supply into Moldova, start to site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Constanța, then road across the border |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Constanța, then road |
| Packing | Braced crates, slats supported along their length. Timber moves, so crates are kept flat and dry. |
| Lead time | Longer than felt. Confirmed against the pattern and substrate at quote stage. |
Standard items dispatch in 4 to 7 working days. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
Sea freight into Constanța, then road across the border. Air freight for samples and urgent quantities.
The same 500 sq ft minimum applies on export.
| Any specification | 500 sq ft, about 46 sq m |
|---|
One unit covers 96 sq ft, so the minimum is a little over five units. Substrate, slat pattern, width and thickness can be mixed inside the same order.
06 / Worth knowing
The things worth knowing before you place the order
-
The wrong product for the problem
A tight slat pattern looks denser but absorbs less, because the open area is what lets sound reach the backing. If the visual you want and the RT target you need pull apart, we will tell you which one the pattern is serving.
-
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 Moldova
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.
Moldova: questions we are actually asked
Is there a Moldova 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 Moldova as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Constanța in Romania, then road across the border. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What do you look at first on a Moldova enquiry?
Constanța then road across a border. We quote the sea leg and the road leg separately so the date is real. Prefabricated concrete passes speech and footfall between flats through thin connected elements. Mass and decoupling, not surface treatment. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Moldova climate affect this product?
Moldova is mild summers and cold, wet winters. Cold external walls and long heating seasons make condensation behind a lining the thing to design out. PET felt is unaffected by damp air. The failure we design against here is condensation and cold bridging behind new linings.
When would material land on a Moldova site?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Constanța, then road across the border, 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, not after.
When are wooden slat acoustic panels the wrong purchase?
A tight slat pattern looks denser but absorbs less, because the open area is what lets sound reach the backing. If the visual you want and the RT target you need pull apart, we will tell you which one the pattern is serving.
What quantity do we have to order, and in what packaging?
The same 500 sq ft minimum applies on export. Any specification, 500 sq ft, about 46 sq m. One unit covers 96 sq ft, so the minimum is a little over five units. Substrate, slat pattern, width and thickness can be mixed inside the same order. Braced crates, slats supported along their length. Timber moves, so crates are kept flat and dry.
