Manufactured in India, supplied in Montreal
Acoustic carpet and rugs in Montreal
We manufacture acoustic carpet and rugs at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Montreal. Made at our own plant in India and shipped up the St Lawrence into the Port of Montreal, which puts the container inside the city rather than a province away.

01 / What it is
The material, and what it actually does on a Montreal job
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 Montreal is mostly plex and condo housing, studios and rehearsal rooms, offices, restaurants, schools, clinics.
Timber frame with gypsum board in low rise, concrete in towers. Condominium party walls and floors generate most complaints, and impact noise through a concrete slab needs a resilient layer, not a panel.
- 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 Montreal.
02 / Specification sheet
The published figures, unchanged by location
Nothing below changes by location. The decisions that do change are grade, thickness and how the material is mounted, and those are covered further down.
- 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 |

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 / Local conditions
The Montreal conditions that change the answer
- A city that makes a lot of noise on purpose
Rehearsal rooms, studios and practice spaces in residential buildings are normal here. Isolation is what keeps them viable, not absorption.
- Plex floors pass everything
Stacked flats with timber joists send footfall and speech straight down. A resilient layer under the new floor does more than any ceiling treatment below it.
- The port is in the city
Containers come up the St Lawrence and land in Montreal itself, which keeps the road leg short and the landed cost predictable.
- Long sealed winters
Buildings close up for months and mechanical systems run hard. Noise stops escaping and accumulates inside instead.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Community centres, school gymnasiums and church halls carry speech, music and sport in the same hard volume.
- The housing stock
Timber frame with gypsum board in low rise, concrete in towers. Condominium party walls and floors generate most complaints, and impact noise through a concrete slab needs a resilient layer, not a panel.
For a Montreal 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 Montreal climate rules in and rules out
Montreal is cool and damp, with long heating seasons and cold external walls, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
Cold wall build-ups and long heating seasons mean interstitial condensation is a real risk behind any lining. PET felt is unaffected by damp air and will not feed mould where a fabric-faced mineral product would.
The risk we design against here is condensation behind linings in older, poorly insulated stock.
For a Montreal interior where the finish leads, we will say plainly what each option costs you acoustically. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Route to site
Supply into Montreal, start to site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Port of Montreal, then a short road run to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea into Port of Montreal |
| 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. The sea leg from India is long, so plan the full door to door window into the programme. We give real dates, not optimistic ones.
Sea freight into the Port of Montreal, then a short road run to site. Air freight for samples 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.
06 / Worth knowing
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 Montreal certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.
Montreal: questions we are actually asked
Is there a Montreal 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 Montreal as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped up the St Lawrence into the Port of Montreal, which puts the container inside the city rather than a province away. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
Why would a Montreal build-up differ from anywhere else?
Stacked flats with timber joists send footfall and speech straight down. A resilient layer under the new floor does more than any ceiling treatment below it. Rehearsal rooms, studios and practice spaces in residential buildings are normal here. Isolation is what keeps them viable, not absorption. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Does Montreal weather shorten the life of this material?
Montreal is cool and damp, with long heating seasons and cold external walls. Cold wall build-ups and long heating seasons mean interstitial condensation is a real risk behind any lining. PET felt is unaffected by damp air and will not feed mould where a fabric-faced mineral product would. The failure we design against here is condensation behind linings in older, poorly insulated stock.
How does an order actually travel to Montreal?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Port of Montreal, then a short road run to site, dispatch: 4 to 7 working days. Standard items dispatch in 4 to 7 working days. The sea leg from India is long, so plan the full door to door window into the programme. We give real dates, not optimistic ones.
When are acoustic carpet and rugs the wrong purchase?
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.
