Manufactured in India, supplied in Patna
Wooden slat acoustic panels in Patna
We manufacture wooden slat acoustic panels at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Patna. Patna is building institutional space quickly, and almost all of it involves large rooms where a lot of people need to hear one person.

- 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 / The material
What this is, and what it changes in a Patna room
Timber slats on an acoustic backing. The slats are the finish and the rhythm, the backing does the absorbing. Used where the room has to look considered rather than treated.
Work reaching us from Patna is mostly coaching institutes and colleges, hospitals, government buildings, auditoriums, offices, hotels.
RC frame with brick infill and hard floors, in buildings that sit close together on narrow lanes.
- Slats on felt backing The standard. Absorption comes from the backing behind the gaps, so the slat gap ratio is an acoustic decision, not only a visual one.
- Slats on a cavity Backing plus an air gap behind moves absorption lower, which matters in music rooms.
- Feature wall only Slats where they are seen, plain felt elsewhere, to hold the budget where it shows.
- What it will not do A tight slat pattern looks denser but absorbs less, because the open area is what lets sound reach the backing. If the visual you want and the RT target you need pull apart, we will tell you which one the pattern is serving.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for wooden slat panels are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Patna.
02 / Data sheet
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.
- MDFStandard. Dry interiors, general commercial
- FR MDFFire rated. Public buildings and anywhere the specification calls for a class
- HDHMRMoisture resistant. Humid climates and rooms that see damp

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 / In this market
What decides the build-up in Patna
- Rooms built for listening
Coaching halls and lecture rooms pack people into hard spaces. Intelligibility fails long before anyone describes the room as echoing.
- New institutional build
Concrete and tile put up quickly, with acoustics discovered at handover. Early drawings are worth more than extra material later.
- Medical privacy
Consult and counselling rooms where conversations have to stay in the room. Partition and door before panel.
- Two days by road
A manageable run, so freight is reasonable and samples arrive before the order is placed.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Auditoriums, banquet halls and places of worship are large hard volumes in concrete and stone where speech falls apart long before anyone calls the room echoey.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate
Durability in Patna, before acoustics is discussed
Patna 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.
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 / Logistics
How material reaches a Patna site
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | two days |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | two days |
| Packing | Braced crates, slats supported along their length. Timber moves, so crates are kept flat and dry. |
| Lead time | Longer than felt. Confirmed against the pattern and substrate at quote stage. |
Standard items dispatch in 2 to 4 working days from our plant at Palwal. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
By road from Palwal, roughly ten hundred kilometres, normally two days on a dedicated truck.
500 sq ft, about 46 sq m, whatever the substrate, pattern, width or thickness.
| Any specification | 500 sq ft, about 46 sq m |
|---|
One unit covers 96 sq ft, so the minimum is a little over five units. Substrate, slat pattern, width and thickness can be mixed inside the same order.

Where this goes wrong, said plainly
-
The wrong product for the problem
A tight slat pattern looks denser but absorbs less, because the open area is what lets sound reach the backing. If the visual you want and the RT target you need pull apart, we will tell you which one the pattern is serving.
-
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.
-
Local approvals that nobody actually holds
We hold no Patna certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.
Patna: questions we are actually asked
Where are the wooden slat acoustic panels you supply to Patna actually made?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Patna as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Patna is building institutional space quickly, and almost all of it involves large rooms where a lot of people need to hear one person. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
Why would a Patna build-up differ from anywhere else?
Coaching halls and lecture rooms pack people into hard spaces. Intelligibility fails long before anyone describes the room as echoing. Concrete and tile put up quickly, with acoustics discovered at handover. Early drawings are worth more than extra material later. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Patna climate affect this product?
Patna 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 Patna?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: two days, dispatch: 2 to 4 working days. Standard items dispatch in 2 to 4 working days from our plant at Palwal. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
What should you not buy wooden slat acoustic panels for?
A tight slat pattern looks denser but absorbs less, because the open area is what lets sound reach the backing. If the visual you want and the RT target you need pull apart, we will tell you which one the pattern is serving.
Is there a minimum order, and how does it arrive?
500 sq ft, about 46 sq m, whatever the substrate, pattern, width or thickness. Any specification, 500 sq ft, about 46 sq m. One unit covers 96 sq ft, so the minimum is a little over five units. Substrate, slat pattern, width and thickness can be mixed inside the same order. Braced crates, slats supported along their length. Timber moves, so crates are kept flat and dry.
