Wood wool acoustic panels in Navi Mumbai
We manufacture wood wool acoustic panels at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Navi Mumbai. Navi Mumbai was planned, so the buildings are large and new.

- NRC
- 0.30
- Test standards
- ASTM C-423 and EN ISO 354

- Minimum order
- 500 sq ft, about 46 sq m
- ASTM C-423 and EN ISO 354
- Made at our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, India
- One batch across the order, no blending between runs
Manufacturer, not reseller. We hold no local approvals and will not imply we do. You get the price the factory quotes, material that matches across a large order, and advice that sometimes talks you out of a purchase.
01 / Start here
What this material is and where it earns its place in Navi Mumbai
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 Navi Mumbai is mostly corporate parks, data and equipment halls, residential towers, hotels, schools, clinics.
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 Navi Mumbai.

The numbers, and they do not move by city
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.

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.

What decides the build-up in Navi Mumbai
- Coastal humidity
Our PET felt does not absorb moisture or feed mould, which matters where mineral products sag within a couple of monsoons.
- Repetition across towers
The same separating detail in hundreds of flats. If it underperforms it underperforms everywhere, which makes it worth solving on the drawing.
- Data and equipment halls
Continuous mechanical noise next to occupied space and neighbours. Mass and duct treatment, not wall panels.
- Large corporate floors
Open plans with glass and exposed services carry speech a long way. The ceiling plane has to do most of the work.
- 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 Navi Mumbai practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate
Why the climate in Navi Mumbai changes the material, not the target
Navi 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.
For a Navi Mumbai 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
What the route into Navi Mumbai actually looks like
| 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 | 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 fourteen hundred kilometres, normally three to four 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 / Straight talk
The things worth knowing before you place the order
-
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.

Suppliers who imply a Navi Mumbai 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.
Navi Mumbai: questions we are actually asked
Where are the wood wool acoustic panels you supply to Navi Mumbai actually made?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Navi Mumbai as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Navi Mumbai was planned, so the buildings are large and new. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What do you look at first on a Navi Mumbai enquiry?
The same separating detail in hundreds of flats. If it underperforms it underperforms everywhere, which makes it worth solving on the drawing. Continuous mechanical noise next to occupied space and neighbours. Mass and duct treatment, not wall panels. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Does Navi Mumbai weather shorten the life of this material?
Navi 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 Navi 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.
What should you not buy wood wool acoustic panels for?
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.
Is there a minimum order, and how does it arrive?
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.
