Manufactured in India, supplied in Seoul
Wooden slat acoustic panels in Seoul
We manufacture wooden slat acoustic panels 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.

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 you are buying, and what it fixes in Seoul
Timber slats on an acoustic backing. The slats are the finish and the rhythm, the backing does the absorbing. Used where the room has to look considered rather than treated.
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.
- Slats on felt backing The standard. Absorption comes from the backing behind the gaps, so the slat gap ratio is an acoustic decision, not only a visual one.
- Slats on a cavity Backing plus an air gap behind moves absorption lower, which matters in music rooms.
- Feature wall only Slats where they are seen, plain felt elsewhere, to hold the budget where it shows.
- What it will not do A tight slat pattern looks denser but absorbs less, because the open area is what lets sound reach the backing. If the visual you want and the RT target you need pull apart, we will tell you which one the pattern is serving.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for wooden slat panels are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Seoul.
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.
- MDFStandard. Dry interiors, general commercial
- FR MDFFire rated. Public buildings and anywhere the specification calls for a class
- HDHMRMoisture resistant. Humid climates and rooms that see damp

Consultants get the raw data, not a sales sheet. That is the whole of our side of the job, and it is set out under working with acoustic consultants.
03 / In this market
What decides the build-up in Seoul
- 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.
- Content rooms everywhere
Studios, streaming rooms and practice spaces inside residential and commercial towers. Isolation from the building is what makes them usable.
- 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.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Church buildings, halls and auditoria are large hard volumes carrying amplified speech and music.
Architects working in Seoul usually need the build-up before the product. We will draw the section and mark what does the work. See how we support architects.
04 / Durability
Why the climate in Seoul changes the material, not the target
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.
For a Seoul 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 Seoul, start to 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 | Braced crates, slats supported along their length. Timber moves, so crates are kept flat and dry. |
| Lead time | Longer than felt. Confirmed against the pattern and substrate at quote stage. |
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 500 sq ft minimum applies on export.
| Any specification | 500 sq ft, about 46 sq m |
|---|
One unit covers 96 sq ft, so the minimum is a little over five units. Substrate, slat pattern, width and thickness can be mixed inside the same order.
06 / Worth knowing
What we will tell you that a reseller will not
-
The wrong product for the problem
A tight slat pattern looks denser but absorbs less, because the open area is what lets sound reach the backing. If the visual you want and the RT target you need pull apart, we will tell you which one the pattern is serving.
-
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 Seoul certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.
Seoul: questions we are actually asked
Is there a Seoul factory behind this product?
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 do you look at first on a Seoul enquiry?
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.
Is this the right material for Seoul conditions?
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.
How does an order actually travel to 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.
Where do wooden slat acoustic panels fail to help?
A tight slat pattern looks denser but absorbs less, because the open area is what lets sound reach the backing. If the visual you want and the RT target you need pull apart, we will tell you which one the pattern is serving.
How is the order packed and what is the minimum?
The same 500 sq ft minimum applies on export. Any specification, 500 sq ft, about 46 sq m. One unit covers 96 sq ft, so the minimum is a little over five units. Substrate, slat pattern, width and thickness can be mixed inside the same order. Braced crates, slats supported along their length. Timber moves, so crates are kept flat and dry.

Tell us the room, we will tell you the build-up
Send what you have. We will give you a layer by layer build-up, a bill of quantities and a date material lands, and we will flag anything in the brief that will not achieve what you want.
