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 / The material
What this material is and where it earns its place in Paris
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 Paris is mostly haussmann apartments, offices, studios, restaurants, hotels, clinics.
Haussmannian and later blocks stack flats with masonry walls and timber or concrete floors. Shared circulation and light wells carry sound between homes.
- 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 Paris.
02 / The numbers
One specification sheet, the same in every market
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 |
On a Paris job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.
03 / On the ground
What we see driving Paris briefs
- Parquet over timber joists
Footfall and chair scrape travel straight down. A resilient layer under the finish does more than anything applied to the ceiling below.
- Thin partitions in divided apartments
Walls built to split one flat into two were never designed to hold speech. Mass and an independent lining are the honest answer.
- Courtyards that amplify
A Paris courtyard reflects plant noise and voices between every window on the block. Treat the source or the surface, not the middle.
- Small rooms
Depth is expensive when a room is 12 square metres. Slim, dense layers beat thick absorbers you cannot afford to lose space to.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Churches, salles des fetes and civic auditoriums are stone and plaster volumes with very long decay.
- The housing stock
Haussmannian and later blocks stack flats with masonry walls and timber or concrete floors. Shared circulation and light wells carry sound between homes.
If you are specifying for a Paris project, we can give you a section, a BOQ and the honest limits of each layer. See how we support architects.
04 / Conditions
What the Paris climate rules in and rules out
Paris 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 Paris 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
Supply into Paris, start to site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Le Havre, Antwerp or Rotterdam |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Le Havre |
| 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 the order, not after.
Sea freight into Le Havre, Antwerp or Rotterdam, 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
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.

Suppliers who imply a Paris 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.
Paris: questions we are actually asked
Do you manufacture acoustic carpet and rugs in Paris?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Paris as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India, packed for container transit, specified against your drawings before anything ships. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What do you look at first on a Paris enquiry?
Footfall and chair scrape travel straight down. A resilient layer under the finish does more than anything applied to the ceiling below. Walls built to split one flat into two were never designed to hold speech. Mass and an independent lining are the honest answer. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Paris climate affect this product?
Paris 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 Paris site?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Le Havre, Antwerp or Rotterdam, 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 the 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 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.
