Manufactured in India, supplied in Nepal
Acoustic carpet and rugs in Nepal
We manufacture acoustic carpet and rugs at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Nepal. Made at our own plant in India and moved overland through the border, which makes Nepal one of the few markets we reach entirely by road.

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 / What it is
The material, and what it actually does on a Nepal job
A tile carpet with a dense polyester face on a felt backing. It absorbs at the floor and, more usefully, kills footfall and chair scrape at the point they are generated.
Work reaching us from Nepal is mostly hotels and guest houses, offices, hospitals, schools, assembly halls, houses.
Reinforced concrete frames with brick infill and hard floors, in buildings that sit very close together on narrow lanes.
- Loose lay on tackifier Tiles lifted individually for access under a raised floor, which is why tile beats broadloom in an office.
- Over a resilient underlay Where impact noise to the floor below is the actual complaint, the underlay does that work, not the carpet.
- Zoned Carpet in the circulation and meeting zones, hard floor elsewhere, so the treatment sits where the noise is made.
- What it will not do Carpet fixes footfall and chair noise and takes the edge off a live room. It will not deliver a reverberation target on its own, because the ceiling is almost always the bigger surface.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for acoustic carpet and rugs are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Nepal.
02 / Specification
The published figures, unchanged by location
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.
- Standard tile4 mm. Offices, classrooms, studios, corridors
| Tile size | 500 x 500 mm |
|---|---|
| Thickness | 4 mm |
| Face | High density polyester |
| Backing | Felt |
| Pack coverage | 64 sq ft per pack |
| Boxed | 20 kg, 55 x 55 x 15 cm |
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 the buildings in Nepal do to the specification
- Hospitality in dense valleys
Hotels and guest houses packed into tight streets where street noise reaches rooms through openings rather than walls.
- Reached entirely by road
No port, no container, no sea leg. That keeps lead times short and makes small or repeat orders practical in a way they are not for most export markets.
- Rebuilt and reinforced structures
A great deal of stock has been rebuilt or retrofitted for seismic performance. Movement joints must stay free and an acoustic layer must not stiffen across them.
- Packing for mountain roads
The final leg is often on rough road. We brace and wrap for that rather than for a smooth port transfer.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Temples, function halls and conference rooms are hard volumes carrying amplified speech and music.
- The housing stock
Reinforced concrete frames with brick infill and hard floors, in buildings that sit very close together on narrow lanes.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Conditions
Durability in Nepal, before acoustics is discussed
Nepal is hot summers, mild winters and a distinct wet season, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
PET felt handles the wet months without absorbing moisture or feeding mould. Timber and wood wool want a ventilated cavity and a stable indoor RH.
The risk we design against here is wet-season humidity behind linings.
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 / Logistics
How material reaches a Nepal site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Overland through the India border, then road to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Road via the India border |
| Packing | Boxed, 64 sq ft per pack, 20 kg. Easy to carry up a stair, which matters on fit-out sites with no lift access. |
| Lead time | 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, not after.
Overland by road through the India border, then on to site. No sea leg and no port handling.
The same minimums apply on export.
| Carpet tiles | 320 sq ft, about 30 sq m |
|---|---|
| Rugs | 500 sq ft, about 46 sq m |
A pack of tiles covers 64 sq ft and weighs 20 kg boxed, so the tile minimum is exactly five packs and about 100 kg.
06 / Worth knowing
What we will tell you that a reseller will not
-
The wrong product for the problem
Carpet fixes footfall and chair noise and takes the edge off a live room. It will not deliver a reverberation target on its own, because the ceiling is almost always the bigger surface.
-
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 Nepal certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.
Nepal: questions we are actually asked
Where are the acoustic carpet and rugs you supply to Nepal actually made?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Nepal as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and moved overland through the border, which makes Nepal one of the few markets we reach entirely by road. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
Why would a Nepal build-up differ from anywhere else?
No port, no container, no sea leg. That keeps lead times short and makes small or repeat orders practical in a way they are not for most export markets. A great deal of stock has been rebuilt or retrofitted for seismic performance. Movement joints must stay free and an acoustic layer must not stiffen across them. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Nepal climate affect this product?
Nepal is hot summers, mild winters and a distinct wet season. PET felt handles the wet months without absorbing moisture or feeding mould. Timber and wood wool want a ventilated cavity and a stable indoor RH. The failure we design against here is wet-season humidity behind linings.
What is the delivery time into Nepal?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Overland through the India border, then road to site, 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, not after.
What will acoustic carpet and rugs not do?
Carpet fixes footfall and chair noise and takes the edge off a live room. It will not deliver a reverberation target on its own, because the ceiling is almost always the bigger surface.
What is the minimum order and how is it packed?
The same minimums apply on export. Carpet tiles, 320 sq ft, about 30 sq m. Rugs, 500 sq ft, about 46 sq m. A pack of tiles covers 64 sq ft and weighs 20 kg boxed, so the tile minimum is exactly five packs and about 100 kg. Boxed, 64 sq ft per pack, 20 kg. Easy to carry up a stair, which matters on fit-out sites with no lift access.
