Manufactured in India, supplied in Spain
Acoustic carpet and rugs in Spain
We manufacture acoustic carpet and rugs at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Spain. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Valencia, Barcelona or Algeciras, which keeps the inland leg short for most of the country.

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 product
What this material is and where it earns its place in Spain
A tile carpet with a dense polyester face on a felt backing. It absorbs at the floor and, more usefully, kills footfall and chair scrape at the point they are generated.
Work reaching us from Spain is mostly hotels and resorts, restaurants, apartments, offices, schools, clinics, studios.
The Ensanche and equivalent city blocks stack flats around a patio with shared walls and slabs. Footfall and speech move between homes, which is a mass and isolation problem.
- Loose lay on tackifier Tiles lifted individually for access under a raised floor, which is why tile beats broadloom in an office.
- Over a resilient underlay Where impact noise to the floor below is the actual complaint, the underlay does that work, not the carpet.
- Zoned Carpet in the circulation and meeting zones, hard floor elsewhere, so the treatment sits where the noise is made.
- What it will not do Carpet fixes footfall and chair noise and takes the edge off a live room. It will not deliver a reverberation target on its own, because the ceiling is almost always the bigger surface.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for acoustic carpet and rugs are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Spain.
02 / Specification sheet
Published specification, identical wherever we ship it
We publish one data sheet for every market. If a supplier quotes you a different figure for the same product in a different city, one of the two numbers is wrong.
- Standard tile4 mm. Offices, classrooms, studios, corridors
| Tile size | 500 x 500 mm |
|---|---|
| Thickness | 4 mm |
| Face | High density polyester |
| Backing | Felt |
| Pack coverage | 64 sq ft per pack |
| Boxed | 20 kg, 55 x 55 x 15 cm |
Where a consultant is already engaged on a Spain project, we supply to their specification and send the test reports rather than describing them. More on working with acoustic consultants.

What decides the build-up in Spain
- Tile and terrazzo everywhere
Hard floors and rendered walls are the standard build. They reflect almost everything, so absorption on the ceiling usually does more than anything you add at eye level.
- Season deadlines are real deadlines
Coastal and resort work has to be finished before the season opens. We give honest dispatch and transit windows rather than optimistic ones, so the fit-out is not waiting on a container.
- Late hours, homes above
Bars and restaurants run late underneath apartments. The complaint is almost always low frequency and footfall, which means mass and isolation, not foam.
- Sealed, air-conditioned rooms
Once a room is closed up against the heat it stops leaking sound outward and starts building it up inside. Absorption has to be balanced, not maximised.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Churches, civic auditoriums and hotel function rooms are stone and plaster volumes with very long decay times.
- The housing stock
The Ensanche and equivalent city blocks stack flats around a patio with shared walls and slabs. Footfall and speech move between homes, which is a mass and isolation problem.
For a Spain 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 Spain, before acoustics is discussed
Spain is hot dry summers and mild wet winters, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
The swing between a dry summer and a wet winter moves timber. PET felt is dimensionally stable across that swing; slat panels want a stable substrate and a ventilated fixing.
The risk we design against here is seasonal movement in timber and winter damp in unheated stock.
For a Spain interior where the finish leads, we will say plainly what each option costs you acoustically. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Logistics
What the route into Spain actually looks like
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Valencia, Barcelona or Algeciras, then road to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Valencia |
| Packing | Boxed, 64 sq ft per pack, 20 kg. Easy to carry up a stair, which matters on fit-out sites with no lift access. |
| Lead time | 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.
Sea freight into Valencia, Barcelona or Algeciras, then road to site. Air freight for samples and urgent quantities.
The same minimums apply on export.
| Carpet tiles | 320 sq ft, about 30 sq m |
|---|---|
| Rugs | 500 sq ft, about 46 sq m |
A pack of tiles covers 64 sq ft and weighs 20 kg boxed, so the tile minimum is exactly five packs and about 100 kg.
06 / Before you buy
The things worth knowing before you place the order
-
The wrong product for the problem
Carpet fixes footfall and chair noise and takes the edge off a live room. It will not deliver a reverberation target on its own, because the ceiling is almost always the bigger surface.
-
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.

A claim of being local to Spain
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.
Spain: questions we are actually asked
Do you manufacture acoustic carpet and rugs in Spain?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Spain as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Valencia, Barcelona or Algeciras, which keeps the inland leg short for most of the country. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What do you look at first on a Spain enquiry?
Hard floors and rendered walls are the standard build. They reflect almost everything, so absorption on the ceiling usually does more than anything you add at eye level. Coastal and resort work has to be finished before the season opens. We give honest dispatch and transit windows rather than optimistic ones, so the fit-out is not waiting on a container. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Does Spain weather shorten the life of this material?
Spain is hot dry summers and mild wet winters. The swing between a dry summer and a wet winter moves timber. PET felt is dimensionally stable across that swing; slat panels want a stable substrate and a ventilated fixing. The failure we design against here is seasonal movement in timber and winter damp in unheated stock.
How quickly can material reach a site in Spain?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Valencia, Barcelona or Algeciras, then road 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.
When are acoustic carpet and rugs the wrong purchase?
Carpet fixes footfall and chair noise and takes the edge off a live room. It will not deliver a reverberation target on its own, because the ceiling is almost always the bigger surface.
Is there a minimum order, and how does it arrive?
The same minimums apply on export. Carpet tiles, 320 sq ft, about 30 sq m. Rugs, 500 sq ft, about 46 sq m. A pack of tiles covers 64 sq ft and weighs 20 kg boxed, so the tile minimum is exactly five packs and about 100 kg. Boxed, 64 sq ft per pack, 20 kg. Easy to carry up a stair, which matters on fit-out sites with no lift access.
