Manufactured in India, supplied in Seoul
Acoustic foam and BassBloc in Seoul
We manufacture acoustic foam and BassBloc at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Seoul. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Incheon, close to the city, so the road leg after the port is short.
- 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
- Lead time
- 4 to 7 working days
- Minimum order
- From 200 sq ft
- Made at our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, India
- One batch across the order, no blending between runs
- Test reports sent on request, not just quoted
This comes from our own plant, not a trading desk. We do not have an office in your city and we will not invent one. What we can give you is factory pricing, consistent material and a technical answer before you commit.
01 / The material
What this material is and where it earns its place in Seoul
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 Seoul is mostly apartment towers, offices, studios and content rooms, cafes and dining, clinics, schools.
Reinforced concrete apartment towers with underfloor heating and hard floors. Impact noise between floors is the single biggest residential complaint.
- 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 Seoul.
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.
- 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 |
Where a consultant is already engaged on a Seoul 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 the buildings in Seoul do to the specification
- Content rooms everywhere
Studios, streaming rooms and practice spaces inside residential and commercial towers. Isolation from the building is what makes them usable.
- It is the floor, not the wall
Impact noise from above dominates complaints in this city. The fix goes under the finish before the finish goes down, not on the ceiling afterwards.
- Dense, vertical, mixed use
Cafes and venues sit underneath homes in the same structure, so containment decides trading hours.
- Incheon is close
A short road leg after the port keeps landed cost and dates predictable.
- The housing stock
Reinforced concrete apartment towers with underfloor heating and hard floors. Impact noise between floors is the single biggest residential complaint.
- The studio and content scene
A very large music and content industry with rooms built inside commercial buildings to measured targets.
If you are specifying for a Seoul project, we can give you a section, a BOQ and the honest limits of each layer. See how we support architects.
04 / Conditions
Durability in Seoul, before acoustics is discussed
Seoul is hot summers, mild winters and a distinct wet season, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
PET felt handles the wet months without absorbing moisture or feeding mould. Timber and wood wool want a ventilated cavity and a stable indoor RH.
The risk we design against here is wet-season humidity behind linings.
If the visual is fixed and the room still has to perform, that is a solvable problem and a conversation worth having early. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Supply
How material reaches a Seoul site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Incheon, then a short road run into Seoul |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Incheon |
| 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 Incheon, then a short road run into Seoul. 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
Four honest warnings before you buy
-
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.
-
Coverage bought instead of a target
Lining every surface is a purchase, not a result. We would rather calculate the area against a reverberation target and sell you less of it.
-
A claim of being local to Seoul
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 material in real interiors
Seoul: questions we are actually asked
Do you manufacture acoustic foam and BassBloc in Seoul?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Seoul as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Incheon, close to the city, so the road leg after the port is short. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What decides the specification for a Seoul project?
Impact noise from above dominates complaints in this city. The fix goes under the finish before the finish goes down, not on the ceiling afterwards. Studios, streaming rooms and practice spaces inside residential and commercial towers. Isolation from the building is what makes them usable. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Seoul climate affect this product?
Seoul is hot summers, mild winters and a distinct wet season. PET felt handles the wet months without absorbing moisture or feeding mould. Timber and wood wool want a ventilated cavity and a stable indoor RH. The failure we design against here is wet-season humidity behind linings.
What is the delivery time into Seoul?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Incheon, then a short road run into Seoul, 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.
When are acoustic foam and BassBloc the wrong purchase?
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.
