Manufactured in India, supplied in Silchar
Wood wool acoustic panels in Silchar
We manufacture wood wool 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.

01 / The product
What this is, and what it changes in a Silchar room
Wood fibre bound into a rigid board with an open texture. Robust, paintable and used where the surface takes knocks, which is why it ends up in schools, sports halls and plant rooms.
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.
- Direct fix Mechanically fixed to the soffit or wall. Durable and simple.
- On a cavity Mounted on battens with an air gap, which is where the low mid performance comes from.
- With a porous backing Board over mineral backing where the room needs more than the board alone gives.
- What it will not do At 20 mm it is a mid and high frequency absorber, not a bass solution, and painting it heavily will close the surface and reduce what it does. If a room needs low frequency control, depth or a cavity has to come from somewhere.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for wood wool panels are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Silchar.
02 / Specification
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.
- Natural20 mm. Plant rooms, back of house, industrial
- Painted20 mm. Classrooms, halls, visible ceilings

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 Silchar
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- School and campus buildings
Schools and colleges are naturally ventilated with open corridors and large class sizes.
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 / Climate and durability
Why the climate in Silchar changes the material, not the target
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.
Designers get colour, pattern and CNC options with the absorption figure attached to each. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Supply
Getting it to Silchar, with real dates
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | five days |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | five days |
| Packing | Palletised flat, edge protected. Boards are rigid but the edges chip, so they travel protected. |
| Lead time | 4 to 7 working days for standard sizes. |
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.
| Any finish | 500 sq ft, about 46 sq m |
|---|
A panel is 1200 x 600 mm, which is 0.72 sq m or about 7.75 sq ft, so the minimum is roughly 65 panels.
06 / Before you buy
Where this goes wrong, said plainly
-
The wrong product for the problem
At 20 mm it is a mid and high frequency absorber, not a bass solution, and painting it heavily will close the surface and reduce what it does. If a room needs low frequency control, depth or a cavity has to come from somewhere.
-
A number chased without a measurement
If nobody has measured the room or set a target, the specification is a guess with a decimal point in it. We will ask for the target before we quote the quantity.

A claim of being local to Silchar
We manufacture in India and supply here. We do not run an office in this city and we will not pretend to, because you would find out on the first site visit.
Silchar: questions we are actually asked
Do you manufacture wood wool 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 changes the specification on a Silchar job?
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.
Where do wood wool acoustic panels fail to help?
At 20 mm it is a mid and high frequency absorber, not a bass solution, and painting it heavily will close the surface and reduce what it does. If a room needs low frequency control, depth or a cavity has to come from somewhere.
What is the minimum order and how is it packed?
500 sq ft, about 46 sq m. Any finish, 500 sq ft, about 46 sq m. A panel is 1200 x 600 mm, which is 0.72 sq m or about 7.75 sq ft, so the minimum is roughly 65 panels. Palletised flat, edge protected. Boards are rigid but the edges chip, so they travel protected.

Send a plan and a section, get a real build-up
A plan and a section is enough. We will come back with a build-up, a BOQ and a delivered date, and we will say so if what you are asking for will not work.
