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

Manufacturer, not reseller. We hold no local approvals and will not imply we do. You get the price the factory quotes, material that matches across a large order, and advice that sometimes talks you out of a purchase.
01 / Start here
The material, and what it actually does on a Moldova job
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 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.
- 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 Moldova.
02 / Data sheet
One specification sheet, the same in every market
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

On a Moldova job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.
03 / Local conditions
What decides the build-up in Moldova
- 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.
- Hospitality and tasting rooms
Wine tourism spaces in stone and vaulted cellars, which hold sound for a very long time.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Church buildings and civic halls are tall hard volumes with long reverberation.
- School and campus buildings
School buildings are hard surfaced with long corridors and gymnasiums doubling as assembly halls.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate
Why the climate in Moldova changes the material, not the target
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.
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 / Logistics
Getting it to Moldova, with real dates
| 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 | 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. 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 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
The things worth knowing before you place the order
-
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.
-
A number chased without a measurement
If nobody has measured the room or set a target, the specification is a guess with a decimal point in it. We will ask for the target before we quote the quantity.

Suppliers who imply a Moldova presence
Ask any supplier where the material is made and who carries the warranty. We make it at Palwal in Haryana and we say so on every page, including this one.
Moldova: questions we are actually asked
Where are the wood wool acoustic panels you supply to Moldova actually made?
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 decides the specification for a Moldova project?
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.
Is this the right material for Moldova conditions?
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.
What is the delivery time into Moldova?
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.
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.
How is the order packed and what is the minimum?
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.
