Manufactured in India, supplied in Silchar
Wooden slat acoustic panels in Silchar
We manufacture wooden slat acoustic panels at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Silchar. Silchar is remote, humid and reached by a long road, so the honest thing is to plan the delivery properly and pack for the journey.

- One batch across the order, no blending between runs
We are the manufacturer. There is no local office and we do not claim approvals we do not hold. What you get is factory pricing, one consistent batch across the order, and a straight answer on what the material will and will not do.
01 / The material
What you are buying, and what it fixes in Silchar
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 Silchar is mostly colleges and schools, hospitals, government buildings, hotels, assembly halls, offices.
RC frame and timber construction with hard floors, built for very heavy rainfall and high humidity year round.
- 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 Silchar.
02 / Data 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.
- 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 Silchar project, we supply to their specification and send the test reports rather than describing them. More on working with acoustic consultants.

What the buildings in Silchar do to the specification
- A long route, planned properly
Five days and a hill leg at the end. We brace and wrap for the journey and confirm dates before dispatch.
- High humidity most of the year
PET felt does not hold moisture or feed mould, which matters where mineral products sag within a couple of seasons.
- Institutional rooms
Lecture halls and assembly spaces in concrete and tile that defeat the speaker.
- Seismic zone
Buildings are designed to move, so a build-up must not stiffen across a movement joint.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Auditoriums, banquet halls and places of worship are large hard volumes in concrete and stone where speech falls apart long before anyone calls the room echoey.
If you are specifying for a Silchar project, we can give you a section, a BOQ and the honest limits of each layer. See how we support architects.
04 / Durability
What the Silchar climate rules in and rules out
Silchar is warm and humid through most of the year, with a long wet season, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
Humidity is the deciding factor. PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which is why it outlasts fabric-wrapped mineral wool in this climate. Wood wool and timber need a ventilated cavity behind them.
The risk we design against here is mould, sagging fabric finishes and swelling in timber.
For a Silchar 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 Silchar site
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | five days |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | five days |
| 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 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 twenty one hundred kilometres, normally five days on a dedicated truck. The last leg is hill road and we plan for it.
500 sq ft, about 46 sq m, whatever the substrate, pattern, width or thickness.
| 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.

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.
-
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 Silchar 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.
Silchar: questions we are actually asked
Do you manufacture wooden slat acoustic panels in Silchar?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Silchar as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Silchar is remote, humid and reached by a long road, so the honest thing is to plan the delivery properly and pack for the journey. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What do you look at first on a Silchar enquiry?
Five days and a hill leg at the end. We brace and wrap for the journey and confirm dates before dispatch. PET felt does not hold moisture or feed mould, which matters where mineral products sag within a couple of seasons. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Does Silchar weather shorten the life of this material?
Silchar is warm and humid through most of the year, with a long wet season. Humidity is the deciding factor. PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which is why it outlasts fabric-wrapped mineral wool in this climate. Wood wool and timber need a ventilated cavity behind them. The failure we design against here is mould, sagging fabric finishes and swelling in timber.
When would material land on a Silchar site?
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.
When are wooden slat acoustic panels the wrong purchase?
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?
500 sq ft, about 46 sq m, whatever the substrate, pattern, width or thickness. 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.
