Manufactured in India, supplied in Siliguri
Wood wool acoustic panels in Siliguri
We manufacture wood wool acoustic panels at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Siliguri. Siliguri is the gateway to the Northeast and the hills, so a lot of what we ship here is onward bound to hotels and institutions beyond the city.

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 / What it is
The material, and what it actually does on a Siliguri job
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 Siliguri is mostly hotels and resorts, restaurants, hospitals, schools, offices, banquet halls.
Older masonry buildings and newer RC frame apartments with hard floors, in very dense neighbourhoods with heavy monsoon damp.
- 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 Siliguri.
02 / Data sheet
The numbers, and they do not move by city
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
| Panel size | 1200 x 600 mm |

| Thickness | 20 mm |

| NRC | 0.30 |
| Test standards | ASTM C-423 and EN ISO 354 |
| Surface burning | Class A to ASTM E84 |
If a consultant has set the target, we will quote against their figures rather than ours, and stay out of the scope they own. More on working with acoustic consultants.
03 / Local conditions
The Siliguri conditions that change the answer
- Humidity decides the material
PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould. In a damp climate that is the difference between a finish that lasts and one that sags in two seasons.
- A distribution point, not just a destination
Material often moves onward to the hills and the Northeast. We pack for a second leg on rougher roads when you tell us that is happening.
- Hotel guest rooms
Corridor noise and the next room generate the complaints. Door and wall detailing does that work, not the panel in the room.
- Three to four days by road
A dedicated truck from Palwal, with the schedule confirmed before dispatch rather than estimated after.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Auditoria, community halls and pandal spaces carry amplified speech and music at high level.
- School and campus buildings
Long established schools and colleges in masonry with high ceilings and very large class sizes.
For a Siliguri practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate
Durability in Siliguri, before acoustics is discussed
Siliguri 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 / Route to site
Getting it to Siliguri, with real dates
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | three to four days |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | three to four 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 fifteen hundred kilometres, normally three to four days on a dedicated truck.
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 / Straight talk
The things worth knowing before you place the order
-
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.
-
Local approvals that nobody actually holds
We hold no Siliguri certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.
Siliguri: questions we are actually asked
Are these wood wool acoustic panels made in Siliguri?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Siliguri as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Siliguri is the gateway to the Northeast and the hills, so a lot of what we ship here is onward bound to hotels and institutions beyond the city. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What do you look at first on a Siliguri enquiry?
PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould. In a damp climate that is the difference between a finish that lasts and one that sags in two seasons. Material often moves onward to the hills and the Northeast. We pack for a second leg on rougher roads when you tell us that is happening. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Is this the right material for Siliguri conditions?
Siliguri 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.
What is the delivery time into Siliguri?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: three to four 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 will wood wool acoustic panels 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.
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.

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.
