Manufactured in India, supplied in Sharjah

We manufacture wooden slat acoustic panels at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Sharjah. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Port Khalid or Jebel Ali, a short sea run from western India, with container pricing that suits the way Sharjah buys.

Manufacturer, not reseller. We hold no local approvals and will not imply we do. You get the price the factory quotes, material that matches across a large order, and advice that sometimes talks you out of a purchase.
01 / The material
What this is, and what it changes in a Sharjah room
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 Sharjah is mostly residential towers, fit-out contractors, factories and warehouses, schools, clinics, offices.
Towers and villas are concrete and block with stone or porcelain floors throughout. Mass is not the problem, impact noise and live rooms are.
- 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 Sharjah.
02 / Specification
The numbers, and they do not move by city
Nothing below changes by location. The decisions that do change are grade, thickness and how the material is mounted, and those are covered further down.
- 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

Where a consultant is already engaged on a Sharjah project, we supply to their specification and send the test reports rather than describing them. More on working with acoustic consultants.
03 / In this market
What decides the build-up in Sharjah
- Buying direct from the factory
Most material here arrives through a trader. Buying from the plant removes a layer of margin, and it means the person answering your technical question made the product.
- Dense mid-rise living
Tower and mid-rise blocks stack families above each other on blockwork and concrete slabs. Footfall, speech and TV noise between flats is the complaint we hear most.
- Industrial and warehouse work
Plant rooms, generator halls, compressor bays and workshops need mass and isolation, not decorative absorption. We say so rather than selling you panels.
- Fit-out contractors serving the whole UAE
A lot of Sharjah businesses fit out sites across the Emirates. We quote full container loads and stage deliveries against the programme.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Hotel ballrooms, mosques and conference centres are tall hard volumes where a long tail defeats the speech system before anyone hears a word.
Architects working in Sharjah 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 / Conditions
What the Sharjah climate rules in and rules out
Sharjah is hot and dry for most of the year, with dust and high daytime surface temperatures, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
Dust is the enemy of open-cell products. PET felt does not shed, does not hold dust in the way fabric-wrapped glass wool does, and wipes down. Timber needs a stable indoor RH or it moves.
The risk we design against here is dust ingress and thermal movement in long runs.
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 / Getting it there
Supply into Sharjah, start to site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Port Khalid or Jebel Ali, then road to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Port Khalid |
| 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.
Sea freight into Port Khalid or Jebel Ali, then road to site. The transit from western India is short enough that sea suits most programmes. 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 / Before you buy
Four honest warnings before you buy
-
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.

Suppliers who imply a Sharjah presence
Ask any supplier where the material is made and who carries the warranty. We make it at Palwal in Haryana and we say so on every page, including this one.
Sharjah: questions we are actually asked
Are these wooden slat acoustic panels made in Sharjah?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Sharjah as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Port Khalid or Jebel Ali, a short sea run from western India, with container pricing that suits the way Sharjah buys. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What changes the specification on a Sharjah job?
Most material here arrives through a trader. Buying from the plant removes a layer of margin, and it means the person answering your technical question made the product. Tower and mid-rise blocks stack families above each other on blockwork and concrete slabs. Footfall, speech and TV noise between flats is the complaint we hear most. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Does Sharjah weather shorten the life of this material?
Sharjah is hot and dry for most of the year, with dust and high daytime surface temperatures. Dust is the enemy of open-cell products. PET felt does not shed, does not hold dust in the way fabric-wrapped glass wool does, and wipes down. Timber needs a stable indoor RH or it moves. The failure we design against here is dust ingress and thermal movement in long runs.
What is the delivery time into Sharjah?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Port Khalid or Jebel Ali, then road to site, 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.
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.
Is there a minimum order, and how does it arrive?
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.
