Acoustic carpet and rugs in Netherlands
We manufacture acoustic carpet and rugs at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Netherlands. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Rotterdam, which puts most Dutch sites within a short road run of the port.

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
The product, described honestly, for a Netherlands brief
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 Netherlands is mostly apartments, offices, schools, healthcare, studios, hospitality.
Narrow terraced houses and canal buildings share party walls, with timber floors upstairs and concrete below. Neighbours on both sides is the default condition.
- 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 Netherlands.
02 / Specification sheet
The numbers, and they do not move by city
The specification below is the same everywhere we supply, because a specification that changed by city would not be a specification. What changes is which grade and build-up is the right buy, and that is what the rest of this page is about.

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.
03 / Local conditions
What we see driving Netherlands briefs
- Timber floors in canal houses
Old narrow houses carry footfall down every floor. A resilient layer under the finish does more than a treatment applied below.
- Lightweight new build
Efficient construction means less mass. Where mass is missing, a dense membrane is usually the cheapest honest fix.
- Recycled content matters here
PET felt is made from recycled bottle flake, which is the first question most Dutch specifiers ask and the easiest one for us to answer.
- Damp, mild climate
Our felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which suits cold external walls and sealed rooms.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Church buildings, civic halls and converted industrial spaces have long decay times and hard surfaces throughout.
- The housing stock
Narrow terraced houses and canal buildings share party walls, with timber floors upstairs and concrete below. Neighbours on both sides is the default condition.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Conditions
What the Netherlands climate rules in and rules out
Netherlands 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.
For a Netherlands interior where the finish leads, we will say plainly what each option costs you acoustically. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Getting it there
How material reaches a Netherlands site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Rotterdam, then a short road run to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Rotterdam |
| 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 and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order.
Sea freight into Rotterdam, then road to site. Being close to the port keeps inland cost low. Air freight for samples and urgent quantities.
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.

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.
-
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.

A claim of being local to Netherlands
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.
Netherlands: questions we are actually asked
Are these acoustic carpet and rugs made in Netherlands?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Netherlands as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Rotterdam, which puts most Dutch sites within a short road run of the port. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
Why would a Netherlands build-up differ from anywhere else?
Old narrow houses carry footfall down every floor. A resilient layer under the finish does more than a treatment applied below. Efficient construction means less mass. Where mass is missing, a dense membrane is usually the cheapest honest fix. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Does Netherlands weather shorten the life of this material?
Netherlands 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.
When would material land on a Netherlands site?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Rotterdam, then a short road run to site, dispatch: 4 to 7 working days. Standard items dispatch in 4 to 7 working days. Grooved and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order.
What should you not buy acoustic carpet and rugs for?
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 quantity do we have to order, and in what packaging?
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.
