Acoustic carpet and rugs in Port Blair
We manufacture acoustic carpet and rugs at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Port Blair. Port Blair is reached by ship from the mainland, so the sailing schedule governs the delivery date rather than our dispatch date does.

01 / Start here
The material, and what it actually does on a Port Blair job
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 Port Blair is mostly hotels and guest houses, administrative buildings, hospitals, schools, dining spaces, offices.
RC frame and timber construction with hard floors, in a very humid island climate where moisture resistance decides the material.
- 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 Port Blair.

The published figures, unchanged by location
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.

On a Port Blair job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.

What we see driving Port Blair briefs
- The sailing sets the date
Scheduled vessels, not our dispatch, determine arrival. We work backwards from the sailing and tell you the real date.
- Get it right the first time
A replacement means waiting for the next sailing. We confirm the specification and send samples before anything ships.
- Salt air and heavy monsoon
PET felt does not absorb moisture, rot or corrode, which matters where almost everything else degrades quickly.
- Seismic islands
Buildings are designed to move, so a build-up must not stiffen across a movement joint.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Community halls, church buildings and resort function rooms are hard volumes carrying amplified speech.
- The housing stock
RC frame and timber construction with hard floors, in a very humid island climate where moisture resistance decides the material.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Conditions
Why the climate in Port Blair changes the material, not the target
Port Blair is warm and humid through most of the year, with a long wet season, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
Humidity is the deciding factor. PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which is why it outlasts fabric-wrapped mineral wool in this climate. Wood wool and timber need a ventilated cavity behind them.
The risk we design against here is mould, sagging fabric finishes and swelling in timber.
For a Port Blair interior where the finish leads, we will say plainly what each option costs you acoustically. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Getting it there
How material reaches a Port Blair site
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | a ship leg after Chennai |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | a ship leg after Chennai |
| 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 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 to Chennai or Kolkata, then by ship to the islands. The sailing is scheduled and we plan the whole journey around it.
320 sq ft for carpet tiles, 500 sq ft for rugs.
| Carpet tiles | 320 sq ft, about 30 sq m, 5 packs |
|---|---|
| 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
The things worth knowing before you place the order
-
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.
-
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.
-
Local approvals that nobody actually holds
We hold no Port Blair certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.
Port Blair: questions we are actually asked
Do you manufacture acoustic carpet and rugs in Port Blair?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Port Blair as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Port Blair is reached by ship from the mainland, so the sailing schedule governs the delivery date rather than our dispatch date does. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What changes the specification on a Port Blair job?
Scheduled vessels, not our dispatch, determine arrival. We work backwards from the sailing and tell you the real date. A replacement means waiting for the next sailing. We confirm the specification and send samples before anything ships. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Does Port Blair weather shorten the life of this material?
Port Blair is warm and humid through most of the year, with a long wet season. Humidity is the deciding factor. PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which is why it outlasts fabric-wrapped mineral wool in this climate. Wood wool and timber need a ventilated cavity behind them. The failure we design against here is mould, sagging fabric finishes and swelling in timber.
When would material land on a Port Blair site?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: a ship leg after Chennai, 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.
When are acoustic carpet and rugs the wrong purchase?
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.
Is there a minimum order, and how does it arrive?
320 sq ft for carpet tiles, 500 sq ft for rugs. Carpet tiles, 320 sq ft, about 30 sq m, 5 packs. 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.

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.
