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 product, described honestly, for a Singapore brief
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 Singapore is mostly apartments and condominiums, offices, hotels, schools, hospitals, studios.
HDB and condominium towers in reinforced concrete with hard floors. Mass is good, impact noise through the slab and live rooms are the complaints.
- 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 Singapore.
02 / Data sheet
The published figures, unchanged by location
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
| Substrate | MDF, FR MDF, HDF or HDHMR |

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
The Singapore conditions that change the answer
- A very short sea leg
Western India to Singapore is quick and frequently served, which makes modest and repeat consignments genuinely practical.
- Concrete towers, live interiors
The structure blocks well. The problem is tile, glass and stone inside, plus impact passing down through slabs.
- Tropical humidity all year
PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which matters where mineral products sag within a couple of seasons.
- Everything is documented
Send the specification and we will tell you in writing where our material sits against it, and where it does not.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Places of worship, auditoria and function rooms are hard volumes where a long tail defeats speech.
If you are specifying for a Singapore 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 Singapore climate rules in and rules out
Singapore 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.
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
What the route into Singapore actually looks like
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Singapore, then a short road run to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea into Singapore |
| 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, not after.
Sea freight direct into Singapore, then a short road run to site. 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 / Worth knowing
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.
-
Square footage quoted before the room is understood
Anyone can price a wall. Working out how much material the room actually needs usually reduces the order, which is why not everyone does it.
-
Local approvals that nobody actually holds
We hold no Singapore certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.
Singapore: questions we are actually asked
Is there a Singapore 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 Singapore as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped straight into Singapore, one of the shortest and most frequently served runs we operate. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What do you look at first on a Singapore enquiry?
Western India to Singapore is quick and frequently served, which makes modest and repeat consignments genuinely practical. The structure blocks well. The problem is tile, glass and stone inside, plus impact passing down through slabs. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Singapore climate affect this product?
Singapore 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.
How does an order actually travel to Singapore?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Singapore, then a short road run 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, not after.
What will wooden slat acoustic panels 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.
What quantity do we have to order, and in what packaging?
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.
Next step
Tell us the room, we will tell you the build-up
Send what you have. We will give you a layer by layer build-up, a bill of quantities and a date material lands, and we will flag anything in the brief that will not achieve what you want.
