Manufactured in India, supplied in Romania
Wood wool acoustic panels in Romania
We manufacture wood wool acoustic panels at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Romania. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Constanța, the largest port on the Black Sea, then road inland.

- 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 / What it is
The material, and what it actually does on a Romania job
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 Romania is mostly automotive and manufacturing plants, offices and service centres, panel block housing, schools, hospitals.
Communist era panel blocks with concrete walls and no impact isolation, plus 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 Romania.
02 / The numbers
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 / Local conditions
What we see driving Romania briefs
- Constanța is a major port
Direct sailings and good onward road connections make this one of the easier routes into central Europe.
- Manufacturing plant noise
Presses, robots and compressors are low frequency and structure-borne. Enclosure at the source rather than absorption on a far wall.
- Panel block housing
Prefabricated concrete passes speech and footfall between flats through thin connected elements. Mass is the only reliable answer.
- Service centre floors
Large rooms full of people on calls, where privacy rather than echo is the real problem.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Church buildings and civic halls are tall hard volumes with very long reverberation.
- School and campus buildings
School buildings are hard surfaced with long corridors and gymnasiums doubling 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 Romania climate rules in and rules out
Romania is cold winters and warm summers, with a wide annual temperature range, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
A wide annual swing stresses adhesive fixings and moves timber. Mechanical fixing beats adhesive alone, and PET felt is stable across the range.
The risk we design against here is adhesive failure and timber movement across the annual swing.
For a Romania interior where the finish leads, we will say plainly what each option costs you acoustically. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Supply
What the route into Romania actually looks like
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Constanța, then road inland |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Constanța |
| 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 Constanța, 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 / Worth knowing
Where this goes wrong, said plainly
-
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.
-
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.
-
Local approvals that nobody actually holds
We hold no Romania certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.
Romania: questions we are actually asked
Where are the wood wool acoustic panels you supply to Romania actually made?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Romania as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Constanța, the largest port on the Black Sea, then road inland. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What decides the specification for a Romania project?
Direct sailings and good onward road connections make this one of the easier routes into central Europe. Presses, robots and compressors are low frequency and structure-borne. Enclosure at the source rather than absorption on a far wall. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Will this material last in the Romania climate?
Romania is cold winters and warm summers, with a wide annual temperature range. A wide annual swing stresses adhesive fixings and moves timber. Mechanical fixing beats adhesive alone, and PET felt is stable across the range. The failure we design against here is adhesive failure and timber movement across the annual swing.
How quickly can material reach a site in Romania?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Constanța, 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.
Where do wood wool acoustic panels fail to help?
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.
Is there a minimum order, and how does it arrive?
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.
Next step
Tell us the room, we will tell you the 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.
