Manufactured in India, supplied in Oman
Acoustic carpet and rugs in Oman
We manufacture acoustic carpet and rugs at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Oman. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Sohar, Salalah or Duqm, all short runs from western India, then road to site.

We are the manufacturer. There is no local office and we do not claim approvals we do not hold. What you get is factory pricing, one consistent batch across the order, and a straight answer on what the material will and will not do.
01 / The material
What this material is and where it earns its place in Oman
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 Oman is mostly industrial zones and plant, hotels and resorts, institutional buildings, schools, hospitals.
Villas and low rise blocks in concrete and block with stone or tile floors. Mass is present, impact noise between floors and live rooms are not addressed.
- 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 Oman.
02 / Data sheet
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.

| Tile size | 500 x 500 mm |

On a Oman job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.
03 / On the ground
What the buildings in Oman do to the specification
- Three ports, very different road legs
Sohar serves the north, Salalah the south and Duqm the industrial centre. We route to whichever shortens the drive to your site.
- Industrial and plant work
Process plant, compressors and generator halls where enclosure and mass do the work rather than absorption.
- Heat and sealed buildings
Closed up with heavy cooling, so mechanical noise accumulates inside instead of escaping.
- A short sea leg from India
Western India to Omani ports is quick, which keeps lead times realistic and repeat orders practical.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Mosques, hotel ballrooms and conference halls are tall hard volumes where a long tail defeats the speech system.
- The housing stock
Villas and low rise blocks in concrete and block with stone or tile floors. Mass is present, impact noise between floors and live rooms are not addressed.
For a Oman practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate
What the Oman climate rules in and rules out
Oman is hot and dry for most of the year, with dust and high daytime surface temperatures, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
Dust is the enemy of open-cell products. PET felt does not shed, does not hold dust in the way fabric-wrapped glass wool does, and wipes down. Timber needs a stable indoor RH or it moves.
The risk we design against here is dust ingress and thermal movement in long runs.
Designers get colour, pattern and CNC options with the absorption figure attached to each. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Logistics
How material reaches a Oman site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Sohar, Salalah or Duqm, then road to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Sohar, Salalah or Duqm |
| 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.
Sea freight into Sohar, Salalah or Duqm, then road to site. 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.
06 / Straight talk
Where this goes wrong, said plainly
-
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.

A claim of being local to Oman
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.
Oman: questions we are actually asked
Where are the acoustic carpet and rugs you supply to Oman actually made?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Oman as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Sohar, Salalah or Duqm, all short runs from western India, then road to site. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What changes the specification on a Oman job?
Sohar serves the north, Salalah the south and Duqm the industrial centre. We route to whichever shortens the drive to your site. Process plant, compressors and generator halls where enclosure and mass do the work rather than absorption. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Is this the right material for Oman conditions?
Oman is hot and dry for most of the year, with dust and high daytime surface temperatures. Dust is the enemy of open-cell products. PET felt does not shed, does not hold dust in the way fabric-wrapped glass wool does, and wipes down. Timber needs a stable indoor RH or it moves. The failure we design against here is dust ingress and thermal movement in long runs.
When would material land on a Oman site?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Sohar, Salalah or Duqm, 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 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.
How is the order packed and what is the minimum?
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.
