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

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 is, and what it changes in a Nagpur room
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 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.
- 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 Nagpur.
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.
- Natural20 mm. Plant rooms, back of house, industrial
- Painted20 mm. Classrooms, halls, visible ceilings

Where a consultant is already engaged on a Nagpur project, we supply to their specification and send the test reports rather than describing them. More on working with acoustic consultants.

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.
- School and campus buildings
Schools range from compact municipal buildings to large private campuses, all hard surfaced, with assembly halls doing duty as performance spaces.
For a Nagpur practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate
Durability in Nagpur, before acoustics is discussed
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.
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 / 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 | 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 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.
| 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 / Before you buy
Four honest warnings before you buy
-
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.
-
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.

A claim of being local to Nagpur
We manufacture in India and supply here. We do not run an office in this city and we will not pretend to, because you would find out on the first site visit.
Nagpur: questions we are actually asked
Do you manufacture wood wool acoustic panels in Nagpur?
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 changes the specification on a Nagpur job?
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.
Will this material last in the Nagpur climate?
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.
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?
500 sq ft, about 46 sq m. 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.
Next step
Tell us the room, we will tell you the build-up
A plan and a section is enough. We will come back with a build-up, a BOQ and a delivered date, and we will say so if what you are asking for will not work.
