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 product
What this material is and where it earns its place in Munich
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 Munich is mostly apartments and villas, corporate floors, studios, hotels, clinics, schools.
Altbau blocks have solid masonry walls and timber joist floors, so airborne noise is controlled but footfall is not. Neubau is concrete with better floors and much harder surfaces.
- 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 Munich.
02 / Specification
The numbers, and they do not move by city
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

On a Munich job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.
03 / On the ground
The Munich conditions that change the answer
- Corporate and studio work
Head office floors, media rooms and production studios around the city want measured performance and a finish that survives a design review.
- Altbau above, concrete below
A stucco ceilinged Altbau flat and a post-war concrete block need different answers to the same complaint. We ask which one you are in before we quote anything.
- Specified, with numbers attached
Send us the acoustician report and the target values. We will tell you what our build-up gets to and where it falls short, in writing, before you commit.
- Floor area is expensive here
Every centimetre the wall grows into the room is money. A dense membrane plus a resilient layer usually beats a thick framed build-up on both cost and depth.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Concert halls, church buildings and civic Saal spaces are long-reverberation rooms where any intervention has to be reversible and visually disciplined.
If you are specifying for a Munich project, we can give you a section, a BOQ and the honest limits of each layer. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate and durability
Durability in Munich, before acoustics is discussed
Munich 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.
Designers get colour, pattern and CNC options with the absorption figure attached to each. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Route to site
How material reaches a Munich site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Hamburg or Bremerhaven, then rail and road south to Bavaria |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Hamburg |
| 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.
Sea freight into Hamburg or Bremerhaven, then rail and road south. It is a long inland leg and we build it into the dates we give you rather than pretending it is not there.
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.

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.
-
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.

Suppliers who imply a Munich 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.
Munich: questions we are actually asked
Do you manufacture wooden slat acoustic panels in Munich?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Munich as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India, shipped in container loads to Bavarian sites and specified against your drawings before anything leaves the factory. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What decides the specification for a Munich project?
A stucco ceilinged Altbau flat and a post-war concrete block need different answers to the same complaint. We ask which one you are in before we quote anything. Send us the acoustician report and the target values. We will tell you what our build-up gets to and where it falls short, in writing, before you commit. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Does Munich weather shorten the life of this material?
Munich 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 quickly can material reach a site in Munich?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Hamburg or Bremerhaven, then rail and road south to Bavaria, 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.
What will wooden slat acoustic panels 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.
What is the minimum order and how is it packed?
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.
