Manufactured in India, supplied in Shillong
Acoustic foam and BassBloc in Shillong
We manufacture acoustic foam and BassBloc at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Shillong. Shillong gets more rain than almost anywhere on earth, and it has a serious music culture.

- 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
We make this ourselves and ship it to you. No local branch, no borrowed certifications, no dealer margin. One batch across the whole order, and an honest answer when the product is wrong for the problem.
01 / Start here
The product, described honestly, for a Shillong brief
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 Shillong is mostly practice and performance rooms, schools and colleges, hotels, churches and halls, clinics, offices.
RC frame and timber construction with hard floors, in one of the wettest places on earth where moisture resistance decides the material.
- 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 Shillong.
02 / Data sheet
The published figures, unchanged by location
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 |
On a Shillong job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.
03 / What drives the brief
The Shillong conditions that change the answer
- Rain on the roof
Metal roofing under extreme rainfall turns a downpour into a noise source that stops a lesson or a recording. It is worth designing for rather than discovering.
- A music city
Practice rooms, choirs and performance spaces in ordinary buildings. Isolation from neighbours is what keeps them usable.
- Timber and light construction
Hill building is often light, which passes low frequency easily. Mass and decoupling do the work.
- Hill roads on the last leg
The final stretch is steep and rough. We pack for that rather than for a straight highway run.
- The housing stock
RC frame and timber construction with hard floors, in one of the wettest places on earth where moisture resistance decides the material.
- The studio and content scene
A strong local music scene records in halls, church spaces and rooms inside light construction, where rain on the roof sets the usable recording window.
For a Shillong practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
04 / Conditions
Why the climate in Shillong changes the material, not the target
Shillong 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 Shillong 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
How material reaches a Shillong site
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | five days |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | five days |
| Packing | Compressed and boxed for foam, palletised flat for BassBloc. |
| 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 two thousand kilometres, normally five days on a dedicated truck. The final hill leg is planned into the schedule.
200 sq ft for acoustic foam, 300 sq ft for BassBloc, 10 pieces for bass traps.
| 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.

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.
-
Local approvals that nobody actually holds
We hold no Shillong certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.

The material in real interiors
Shillong: questions we are actually asked
Is there a Shillong 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 Shillong as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Shillong gets more rain than almost anywhere on earth, and it has a serious music culture. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
Why would a Shillong build-up differ from anywhere else?
Metal roofing under extreme rainfall turns a downpour into a noise source that stops a lesson or a recording. It is worth designing for rather than discovering. Practice rooms, choirs and performance spaces in ordinary buildings. Isolation from neighbours is what keeps them usable. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Is this the right material for Shillong conditions?
Shillong 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 Shillong?
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 foam and BassBloc for?
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?
200 sq ft for acoustic foam, 300 sq ft for BassBloc, 10 pieces for bass traps. 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.

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.
