Manufactured in India, supplied in Serbia
Wooden slat acoustic panels in Serbia
We manufacture wooden slat acoustic panels at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Serbia. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Thessaloniki or Koper, then road across a border into Serbia.

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 Serbia
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 Serbia is mostly manufacturing plants, offices and service centres, panel block housing, hotels, schools, hospitals.
Panel and concrete blocks with hard floors alongside older masonry stock with timber floors.
- 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 Serbia.
02 / The numbers
Published specification, identical wherever we ship it
The specification below is the same everywhere we supply, because a specification that changed by city would not be a specification. What changes is which grade and build-up is the right buy, and that is what the rest of this page is about.
- 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

On a Serbia job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.
03 / On the ground
The Serbia conditions that change the answer
- Belgrade conversions
Older buildings turned into offices and hospitality, with tall rooms and hard plaster that hold sound too long.
- Landlocked, through a neighbour
Two ports to choose from and a border to cross. We quote each leg separately so the programme runs on real dates.
- Manufacturing and plant
Continuous machine noise where enclosure and mass do the work rather than absorption on a wall.
- Panel block housing
Prefabricated concrete blocks pass speech and footfall between flats. Surface treatment does nothing here.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Church buildings, civic halls and auditoria are hard volumes with long reverberation.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate
The Serbia climate decides the material list
Serbia 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.
Interior designers tend to arrive with the look already decided. We will tell you which finish gets there without losing the acoustics. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Route to site
Getting it to Serbia, with real dates
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Thessaloniki or Koper, then road across the border |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Thessaloniki or Koper, then road |
| 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 Thessaloniki or Koper, then road across the border. 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 / Read this first
The things worth knowing before you place the order
-
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.
-
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.
-
Local approvals that nobody actually holds
We hold no Serbia certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.
Serbia: questions we are actually asked
Where are the wooden slat acoustic panels you supply to Serbia actually made?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Serbia as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Thessaloniki or Koper, then road across a border into Serbia. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What decides the specification for a Serbia project?
Two ports to choose from and a border to cross. We quote each leg separately so the programme runs on real dates. Continuous machine noise where enclosure and mass do the work rather than absorption on a wall. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Is this the right material for Serbia conditions?
Serbia 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.
When would material land on a Serbia site?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Thessaloniki or Koper, then road across the border, 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.
What should you not buy wooden slat acoustic panels for?
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.
What is the minimum order and how is it packed?
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.
Next step
Tell us the room, we will tell you the build-up
We quote from drawings, not from a square foot rate. Send a plan and the section through the critical wall or ceiling and you will get something you can actually build from.
