Manufactured in India, supplied in Salem
Acoustic carpet and rugs in Salem
We manufacture acoustic carpet and rugs at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Salem. Salem is steel and textiles in dry inland heat, so most of what we supply goes into working plant rather than interiors.

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 Salem room
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 Salem is mostly steel and textile plant, workshops, offices, canteens, colleges, hospitals.
RC frame houses and apartments with hard floors, built for heat and humidity with open plan layouts that carry sound room to room.
- 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 Salem.
02 / The numbers
Published specification, identical wherever we ship it
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.
- Standard tile4 mm. Offices, classrooms, studios, corridors
| Tile size | 500 x 500 mm |
|---|---|
| Thickness | 4 mm |
| Face | High density polyester |
| Backing | Felt |
| Pack coverage | 64 sq ft per pack |
| Boxed | 20 kg, 55 x 55 x 15 cm |
Where a consultant is already engaged on a Salem project, we supply to their specification and send the test reports rather than describing them. More on working with acoustic consultants.
03 / On the ground
What decides the build-up in Salem
- Plant noise is a mass problem
Mills, compressors and processing machinery are low frequency and structure-borne. Panels on a wall will not touch them.
- Hot buildings
PET felt does not sag, shed fibre or degrade at high temperature, which matters in a roof void above a hot process.
- Intelligibility on the floor
Large sheds where instructions and alarms have to be understood. Targeted absorption fixes that without touching the machines.
- Five days by road
A long run, confirmed before dispatch, with samples sent ahead.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Kalyana mandapams, temple halls and auditoria are very large hard volumes carrying amplified speech and music.
- The housing stock
RC frame houses and apartments with hard floors, built for heat and humidity with open plan layouts that carry sound room to room.
For a Salem practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate and durability
The Salem climate decides the material list
Salem 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 Salem 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
Supply into Salem, start to site
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | five days |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | five days |
| 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, roughly twenty three hundred kilometres, normally five days on a dedicated truck.
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
Four honest warnings before you buy
-
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.
-
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 Salem
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.
Salem: questions we are actually asked
Do you manufacture acoustic carpet and rugs in Salem?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Salem as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Salem is steel and textiles in dry inland heat, so most of what we supply goes into working plant rather than interiors. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
Why would a Salem build-up differ from anywhere else?
Mills, compressors and processing machinery are low frequency and structure-borne. Panels on a wall will not touch them. PET felt does not sag, shed fibre or degrade at high temperature, which matters in a roof void above a hot process. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Salem climate affect this product?
Salem 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.
How does an order actually travel to Salem?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: five 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 acoustic carpet and rugs for?
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.
How is the order packed and what is the minimum?
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.
