Manufactured in India, supplied in Poland
Wood wool acoustic panels in Poland
We manufacture wood wool acoustic panels at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Poland. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Gdansk or Gdynia, then road inland, which keeps the landed cost competitive against European production.

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 is, and what it changes in a Poland room
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 Poland is mostly production halls, warehouses, offices, apartments, schools, clinics, hotels.
Panel block housing with concrete walls that carry mass but no impact isolation, alongside new concrete towers with hard finishes.
- 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 Poland.
02 / Specification sheet
One specification sheet, the same in every market
These figures are published and they do not move. The thing worth arguing about is not the number on the sheet, it is which grade and which build-up suits the room you are treating.
- 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 |
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 / On the ground
The Poland conditions that change the answer
- Quoting against local manufacture
Poland makes a lot of building material itself. We win on container pricing and on being able to answer for what is in the product, not on being cheapest by a margin nobody believes.
- Industrial and logistics buildings
Production halls and warehouses need mass and isolation around plant, and absorption only where speech and alarms have to be understood.
- Panel block housing
Prefabricated concrete blocks pass footfall and speech between flats through thin, well connected elements. Surface treatment will not fix that.
- Direct sea into Gdansk
Containers come straight to the Baltic coast rather than through another country, which shortens the chain and keeps the date reliable.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Church buildings, civic halls and auditoria are hard volumes with long reverberation.
- School and campus buildings
School buildings are hard surfaced with long corridors, and gymnasiums double as assembly halls.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Durability
What the Poland climate rules in and rules out
Poland 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.
Designers get colour, pattern and CNC options with the absorption figure attached to each. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Getting it there
How material reaches a Poland site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Gdansk or Gdynia, then road inland |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Gdansk |
| 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 Gdansk or Gdynia, then road inland. 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
What we will tell you that a reseller will not
-
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.
-
A number chased without a measurement
If nobody has measured the room or set a target, the specification is a guess with a decimal point in it. We will ask for the target before we quote the quantity.

A claim of being local to Poland
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.
Poland: questions we are actually asked
Do you manufacture wood wool acoustic panels in Poland?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Poland as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Gdansk or Gdynia, then road inland, which keeps the landed cost competitive against European production. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What decides the specification for a Poland project?
Poland makes a lot of building material itself. We win on container pricing and on being able to answer for what is in the product, not on being cheapest by a margin nobody believes. Production halls and warehouses need mass and isolation around plant, and absorption only where speech and alarms have to be understood. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Is this the right material for Poland conditions?
Poland 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 Poland site?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Gdansk or Gdynia, then road inland, 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 will wood wool acoustic panels 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.
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
We quote from drawings, not from a square foot rate. Send a plan and the section through the critical wall or ceiling and you will get something you can actually build from.
