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

- One batch across the order, no blending between runs
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 / Start here
The product, described honestly, for a Oman brief
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 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.
- 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 Oman.
02 / Specification
Published specification, identical wherever we ship it
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.
- Natural20 mm. Plant rooms, back of house, industrial
- Painted20 mm. Classrooms, halls, visible ceilings
| Panel size | 1200 x 600 mm |
|---|---|
| Thickness | 20 mm |
| Density | 400 kg per cubic metre |
| NRC | 0.30 |
| Test standards | ASTM C-423 and EN ISO 354 |
| Surface burning | Class A to ASTM E84 |
Where a consultant is already engaged on a Oman project, we supply to their specification and send the test reports rather than describing them. More on working with acoustic consultants.
03 / On the ground
The Oman conditions that change the answer
- 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.
- School and campus buildings
School and university buildings are new, large and hard surfaced, with sports halls and lecture rooms failing first.
Architects working in Oman usually need the build-up before the product. We will draw the section and mark what does the work. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate
Why the climate in Oman changes the material, not the target
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.
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 / Route to site
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 | 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 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 500 sq ft minimum applies on export.
| 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
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.
-
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 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
Are these wood wool acoustic panels made in Oman?
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.
How does an order actually travel to Oman?
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.
When are wood wool acoustic panels the wrong purchase?
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?
The same 500 sq ft minimum applies on export. 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.

Send a plan and a section, get a real 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.
