Manufactured in India, supplied in Nagpur
Wooden slat acoustic panels in Nagpur
We manufacture wooden slat acoustic panels at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Nagpur. Nagpur sits at the centre of the country, which makes it a logistics hub and gives us an unusually even mix of industrial and institutional work.

01 / The material
What this is, and what it changes in a Nagpur 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 Nagpur is mostly warehouses and processing units, colleges, hospitals, offices, auditoriums, hotels.
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.
- 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 Nagpur.
02 / Data sheet
The numbers, and they do not move by city
We publish one data sheet for every market. If a supplier quotes you a different figure for the same product in a different city, one of the two numbers is wrong.
- 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
| Substrate | MDF, FR MDF, HDF or HDHMR |
|---|---|
| Patterns | 13-3, 14-2, 28-4 and 59-5 |
| Panel sizes | 2440 x 192 mm and 2440 x 128 mm |
| Thickness | 14, 16 and 18 mm |
| Coverage | 96 sq ft per unit |
| Fire class | EN 13501-1 Class B s1 d0 on FR substrate |
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 / Local conditions
What decides the build-up in Nagpur
- Warehouse volumes
Very large steel and concrete sheds where alarms and instructions have to be understood. Targeted absorption fixes intelligibility without touching the machines.
- Processing machinery
Continuous plant noise close to occupied areas. Enclosure at the source is the reliable answer.
- Institutional buildings
Colleges and hospitals in concrete and tile, where lecture rooms defeat the speaker and consult rooms offer no privacy.
- Dry heat
PET felt does not sag, shed fibre or degrade at high temperature, which matters in roof voids and rooms that get genuinely hot.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Auditoriums, banquet halls and places of worship are large hard volumes in concrete and stone where speech falls apart long before anyone calls the room echoey.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate
What the Nagpur climate rules in and rules out
Nagpur 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.
For a Nagpur interior where the finish leads, we will say plainly what each option costs you acoustically. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Supply
Getting it to Nagpur, with real dates
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | two to three days |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | two to three days |
| 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 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 eleven hundred kilometres, normally two to three days on a dedicated truck.
500 sq ft, about 46 sq m, whatever the substrate, pattern, width or thickness.
| 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 / Straight talk
Four honest warnings before you buy
-
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.

Suppliers who imply a Nagpur 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.
Nagpur: questions we are actually asked
Is there a Nagpur 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 Nagpur as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Nagpur sits at the centre of the country, which makes it a logistics hub and gives us an unusually even mix of industrial and institutional work. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What decides the specification for a Nagpur project?
Very large steel and concrete sheds where alarms and instructions have to be understood. Targeted absorption fixes intelligibility without touching the machines. Continuous plant noise close to occupied areas. Enclosure at the source is the reliable answer. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Does Nagpur weather shorten the life of this material?
Nagpur 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 does an order actually travel to Nagpur?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: two to three 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.
What should you not buy wooden slat acoustic panels for?
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.
Is there a minimum order, and how does it arrive?
500 sq ft, about 46 sq m, whatever the substrate, pattern, width or thickness. 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.
