Manufactured in India, supplied in Slovenia
Wooden slat acoustic panels in Slovenia
We manufacture wooden slat acoustic panels at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Slovenia. Made at our own plant in India and shipped straight into Koper, which is the gateway we already use for much of central Europe, so the route is one we run constantly.

Manufacturer, not reseller. We hold no local approvals and will not imply we do. You get the price the factory quotes, material that matches across a large order, and advice that sometimes talks you out of a purchase.
01 / What it is
The material, and what it actually does on a Slovenia job
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 Slovenia is mostly timber and alpine buildings, hotels, offices, schools, manufacturing, hospitals.
Masonry and concrete construction with hard floors, in blocks and detached housing with cold external walls.
- 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 Slovenia.
02 / Specification
One specification sheet, the same in every market
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

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 Slovenia
- Alpine hospitality
Resort refurbishment happens in a short window between seasons, so real dates matter more than a marginally better price.
- The port is the country
Koper is a short run from almost everywhere in Slovenia, and it is a route we already operate constantly. That keeps cost and timing predictable.
- Timber construction
Light structures pass low frequency easily, so mass and decoupling do the work rather than more absorption.
- Specified carefully
Work here arrives with numbers attached. Send us the target and we will say plainly what our material reaches.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Church buildings, civic halls and auditoria are hard volumes with long reverberation.
If you are specifying for a Slovenia project, we can give you a section, a BOQ and the honest limits of each layer. See how we support architects.
04 / Conditions
Why the climate in Slovenia changes the material, not the target
Slovenia is cool and damp, with long heating seasons and cold external walls, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
Cold wall build-ups and long heating seasons mean interstitial condensation is a real risk behind any lining. PET felt is unaffected by damp air and will not feed mould where a fabric-faced mineral product would.
The risk we design against here is condensation behind linings in older, poorly insulated stock.
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 Slovenia actually looks like
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Koper, then a short road run to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea into Koper |
| 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 Koper, 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
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.
-
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 Slovenia certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.
Slovenia: questions we are actually asked
Do you manufacture wooden slat acoustic panels in Slovenia?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Slovenia as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped straight into Koper, which is the gateway we already use for much of central Europe, so the route is one we run constantly. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What changes the specification on a Slovenia job?
Koper is a short run from almost everywhere in Slovenia, and it is a route we already operate constantly. That keeps cost and timing predictable. Light structures pass low frequency easily, so mass and decoupling do the work rather than more absorption. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Slovenia climate affect this product?
Slovenia is cool and damp, with long heating seasons and cold external walls. Cold wall build-ups and long heating seasons mean interstitial condensation is a real risk behind any lining. PET felt is unaffected by damp air and will not feed mould where a fabric-faced mineral product would. The failure we design against here is condensation behind linings in older, poorly insulated stock.
What is the delivery time into Slovenia?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Koper, 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.
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?
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.

Drawings in, BOQ and a delivered date out
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.
