Manufactured in India, supplied in Mumbai
Acoustic foam and BassBloc in Mumbai
We manufacture acoustic foam and BassBloc at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Mumbai. Mumbai gives us the smallest rooms and the hardest briefs in the country.
- BassBloc size
- 1800 x 900 mm
- BassBloc thickness
- 20 mm
- BassBloc density
- 100 kg per cubic metre
- Effective range
- 100 to 500 Hz
- BassBloc NRC
- 0.85
- Lead time
- 4 to 7 working days
- Minimum order
- From 200 sq ft
- Made at our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, India
- One batch across the order, no blending between runs
- Test reports sent on request, not just quoted
This comes from our own plant, not a trading desk. We do not have an office in your city and we will not invent one. What we can give you is factory pricing, consistent material and a technical answer before you commit.
01 / The material
What this material is and where it earns its place in Mumbai
Open cell foam shapes for high frequency control, and BassBloc, a high density absorber built for the low mid range where ordinary foam does nothing.
Work reaching us from Mumbai is mostly recording studios, offices, flats and redevelopment towers, restaurants, clinics, schools.
Towers and chawls side by side, in RC frame with tile floors. Redevelopment stock shares slabs and lift cores, and monsoon damp rules out anything that holds moisture.
- Corner loading Low frequency energy collects in corners, so absorber in the corners does more than the same area spread across a wall.
- First reflection points Mirror trick placement on side walls and ceiling, which is a handful of panels rather than a lined room.
- Behind a fabric frame Where the room has to look finished, absorber inside a frame rather than foam on show.
- What it will not do Thin foam on a wall is the most over-sold product in this industry. It controls flutter and nothing below it.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for acoustic foam and bass traps are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Mumbai.
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.
- Foam wedge and pyramidLow density. Flutter and high frequency only
- BassBloc100 kg per cubic metre. Low mid absorption, control rooms, live rooms
| BassBloc size | 1800 x 900 mm |
|---|---|
| BassBloc thickness | 20 mm |
| BassBloc density | 100 kg per cubic metre |
| Effective range | 100 to 500 Hz |
| BassBloc NRC | 0.85 |
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.
03 / What drives the brief
The Mumbai conditions that change the answer
- Every centimetre is paid for
At Mumbai rates a wall that grows a hundred millimetres into the room costs real money. A dense membrane with a resilient break usually beats a thick framed build-up here.
- The studio capital
More recording and dubbing rooms per square kilometre than anywhere else we supply. They sit inside occupied buildings, so isolation comes before tuning, always.
- Monsoon damp defeats the wrong material
PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould. Mineral products sag here within a couple of seasons.
- Redevelopment, built fast
Old buildings replaced by towers on tight programmes. Acoustic detail is easy to lose unless it is specified before the slab is poured.
- The housing stock
Towers and chawls side by side, in RC frame with tile floors. Redevelopment stock shares slabs and lift cores, and monsoon damp rules out anything that holds moisture.
- The studio and content scene
The deepest film, dubbing and music production base in the country, with rooms built inside commercial and residential buildings under real neighbour constraints.
If you are specifying for a Mumbai project, we can give you a section, a BOQ and the honest limits of each layer. See how we support architects.
04 / Durability
The Mumbai climate decides the material list
Mumbai is warm and humid through most of the year, with a long wet season, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
Humidity is the deciding factor. PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which is why it outlasts fabric-wrapped mineral wool in this climate. Wood wool and timber need a ventilated cavity behind them.
The risk we design against here is mould, sagging fabric finishes and swelling in timber.
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.
05 / Supply
Getting it to Mumbai, with real dates
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | three to four days |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | three to four days |
| Packing | Compressed and boxed for foam, palletised flat for BassBloc. |
| Lead time | 4 to 7 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.
By road from Palwal, roughly fourteen hundred kilometres, normally three to four days on a dedicated truck.
200 sq ft for acoustic foam, 300 sq ft for BassBloc, 10 pieces for bass traps.
| Acoustic foam | 200 sq ft, about 19 sq m |
|---|---|
| BassBloc | 300 sq ft, about 28 sq m |
| Bass traps | 10 pieces |
A BassBloc panel is 1800 x 900 mm, which is 1.62 sq m or about 17.4 sq ft, so the BassBloc minimum is roughly 17 panels.

Four honest warnings before you buy
-
The wrong product for the problem
Thin foam on a wall is the most over-sold product in this industry. It controls flutter and nothing below it. If the complaint is boom, bass from a neighbour, or a room that sounds uneven at low frequency, foam is the wrong purchase and we will say so.
-
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 Mumbai certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.

How it looks once it is installed
Mumbai: questions we are actually asked
Is there a Mumbai 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 Mumbai as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Mumbai gives us the smallest rooms and the hardest briefs in the country. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What do you look at first on a Mumbai enquiry?
At Mumbai rates a wall that grows a hundred millimetres into the room costs real money. A dense membrane with a resilient break usually beats a thick framed build-up here. More recording and dubbing rooms per square kilometre than anywhere else we supply. They sit inside occupied buildings, so isolation comes before tuning, always. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Is this the right material for Mumbai conditions?
Mumbai is warm and humid through most of the year, with a long wet season. Humidity is the deciding factor. PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which is why it outlasts fabric-wrapped mineral wool in this climate. Wood wool and timber need a ventilated cavity behind them. The failure we design against here is mould, sagging fabric finishes and swelling in timber.
How quickly can material reach a site in Mumbai?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: three to four days, 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.
Where do acoustic foam and BassBloc fail to help?
Thin foam on a wall is the most over-sold product in this industry. It controls flutter and nothing below it. If the complaint is boom, bass from a neighbour, or a room that sounds uneven at low frequency, foam is the wrong purchase and we will say so.
What is the minimum order and how is it packed?
200 sq ft for acoustic foam, 300 sq ft for BassBloc, 10 pieces for bass traps. Acoustic foam, 200 sq ft, about 19 sq m. BassBloc, 300 sq ft, about 28 sq m. Bass traps, 10 pieces. A BassBloc panel is 1800 x 900 mm, which is 1.62 sq m or about 17.4 sq ft, so the BassBloc minimum is roughly 17 panels. Compressed and boxed for foam, palletised flat for BassBloc.
