We make this ourselves and ship it to you. No local branch, no borrowed certifications, no dealer margin. One batch across the whole order, and an honest answer when the product is wrong for the problem.
01 / The material
What this is, and what it changes in a Riyadh room
Open cell foam shapes for high frequency control, and BassBloc, a high density absorber built for the low mid range where ordinary foam does nothing.
Work reaching us from Riyadh is mostly government and corporate buildings, hotels, large developments, hospitals, schools, auditoriums.
Villas and apartment blocks are concrete and block with hard stone or tile throughout. Mass is there, but every room is live and impact noise between floors is untreated.
- Corner loading Low frequency energy collects in corners, so absorber in the corners does more than the same area spread across a wall.
- First reflection points Mirror trick placement on side walls and ceiling, which is a handful of panels rather than a lined room.
- Behind a fabric frame Where the room has to look finished, absorber inside a frame rather than foam on show.
- What it will not do Thin foam on a wall is the most over-sold product in this industry. It controls flutter and nothing below it.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for acoustic foam and bass traps are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Riyadh.
02 / Specification sheet
The numbers, and they do not move by city
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.
- Foam wedge and pyramidLow density. Flutter and high frequency only
- BassBloc100 kg per cubic metre. Low mid absorption, control rooms, live rooms
| BassBloc size | 1800 x 900 mm |
|---|---|
| BassBloc thickness | 20 mm |
| BassBloc density | 100 kg per cubic metre |
| Effective range | 100 to 500 Hz |
| BassBloc NRC | 0.85 |
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 / What drives the brief
The Riyadh conditions that change the answer
- Inland, so plan the road leg
Dammam then several hundred kilometres by road. We quote the sea leg and the inland leg separately so the programme runs on real dates.
- Very large single orders
Development-scale work means the same detail repeated across many buildings. Batch consistency matters more than the figure on any one sheet.
- Heat and sealed buildings
Closed up with heavy cooling all year. Plant noise has nowhere to escape and rooms stay hard and live inside.
- Assembly and briefing spaces
Large halls in concrete and stone where speech stops being intelligible well before the room sounds obviously wrong.
- The housing stock
Villas and apartment blocks are concrete and block with hard stone or tile throughout. Mass is there, but every room is live and impact noise between floors is untreated.
- The studio and content scene
Media and content production is growing quickly, and rooms are being built inside existing commercial shells with no isolation plan. The background noise floor is usually the first problem to solve.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Durability
Why the climate in Riyadh changes the material, not the target
Riyadh 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.
For a Riyadh interior where the finish leads, we will say plainly what each option costs you acoustically. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Supply
How material reaches a Riyadh site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Dammam, then road inland to Riyadh |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Dammam, then road |
| Packing | Compressed and boxed for foam, palletised flat for BassBloc. |
| Lead time | 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.
Sea freight into Dammam, then road inland to Riyadh. Air freight for samples and urgent quantities.
The same minimums apply on export.
| Acoustic foam | 200 sq ft, about 19 sq m |
|---|---|
| BassBloc | 300 sq ft, about 28 sq m |
| Bass traps | 10 pieces |
A BassBloc panel is 1800 x 900 mm, which is 1.62 sq m or about 17.4 sq ft, so the BassBloc minimum is roughly 17 panels.
06 / Worth knowing
What we will tell you that a reseller will not
-
The wrong product for the problem
Thin foam on a wall is the most over-sold product in this industry. It controls flutter and nothing below it. If the complaint is boom, bass from a neighbour, or a room that sounds uneven at low frequency, foam is the wrong purchase and we will say so.
-
Square footage quoted before the room is understood
Anyone can price a wall. Working out how much material the room actually needs usually reduces the order, which is why not everyone does it.

A claim of being local to Riyadh
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.

The product on finished jobs
Riyadh: questions we are actually asked
Are these acoustic foam and BassBloc made in Riyadh?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Riyadh as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Dammam, then road inland to Riyadh. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What changes the specification on a Riyadh job?
Dammam then several hundred kilometres by road. We quote the sea leg and the inland leg separately so the programme runs on real dates. Development-scale work means the same detail repeated across many buildings. Batch consistency matters more than the figure on any one sheet. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Riyadh climate affect this product?
Riyadh 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 quickly can material reach a site in Riyadh?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Dammam, then road inland to Riyadh, 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.
Where do acoustic foam and BassBloc fail to help?
Thin foam on a wall is the most over-sold product in this industry. It controls flutter and nothing below it. If the complaint is boom, bass from a neighbour, or a room that sounds uneven at low frequency, foam is the wrong purchase and we will say so.
What is the minimum order and how is it packed?
The same minimums apply on export. Acoustic foam, 200 sq ft, about 19 sq m. BassBloc, 300 sq ft, about 28 sq m. Bass traps, 10 pieces. A BassBloc panel is 1800 x 900 mm, which is 1.62 sq m or about 17.4 sq ft, so the BassBloc minimum is roughly 17 panels. Compressed and boxed for foam, palletised flat for BassBloc.
