Manufactured in India, supplied in Spain
Acoustic foam and BassBloc in Spain
We manufacture acoustic foam and BassBloc 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.

- One batch across the order, no blending between runs
- Test reports sent on request, not just quoted
This comes from our own plant, not a trading desk. We do not have an office in your city and we will not invent one. What we can give you is factory pricing, consistent material and a technical answer before you commit.
01 / What it is
The product, described honestly, for a Spain brief
Open cell foam shapes for high frequency control, and BassBloc, a high density absorber built for the low mid range where ordinary foam does nothing.
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.
- Corner loading Low frequency energy collects in corners, so absorber in the corners does more than the same area spread across a wall.
- First reflection points Mirror trick placement on side walls and ceiling, which is a handful of panels rather than a lined room.
- Behind a fabric frame Where the room has to look finished, absorber inside a frame rather than foam on show.
- What it will not do Thin foam on a wall is the most over-sold product in this industry. It controls flutter and nothing below it.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for acoustic foam and bass traps are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Spain.
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.

On a Spain job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.
03 / On the ground
The Spain conditions that change the answer
- 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.
- 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.
- The studio and content scene
Studios sit inside residential blocks, so the neighbour above matters more than the room treatment.
Architects working in Spain usually need the build-up before the product. We will draw the section and mark what does the work. See how we support architects.
04 / Durability
What the Spain climate rules in and rules out
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.
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 / Supply
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 | Compressed and boxed for foam, palletised flat for BassBloc. |
| 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.
| Acoustic foam | 200 sq ft, about 19 sq m |
|---|---|
| BassBloc | 300 sq ft, about 28 sq m |
| Bass traps | 10 pieces |
A BassBloc panel is 1800 x 900 mm, which is 1.62 sq m or about 17.4 sq ft, so the BassBloc minimum is roughly 17 panels.
06 / Straight talk
Four honest warnings before you buy
-
The wrong product for the problem
Thin foam on a wall is the most over-sold product in this industry. It controls flutter and nothing below it. If the complaint is boom, bass from a neighbour, or a room that sounds uneven at low frequency, foam is the wrong purchase and we will say so.
-
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 Spain certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.

How it looks once it is installed
Spain: questions we are actually asked
Where are the acoustic foam and BassBloc you supply to Spain actually made?
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 changes the specification on a Spain job?
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.
How does the Spain climate affect this product?
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.
What is the delivery time into 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.
What should you not buy acoustic foam and BassBloc for?
Thin foam on a wall is the most over-sold product in this industry. It controls flutter and nothing below it. If the complaint is boom, bass from a neighbour, or a room that sounds uneven at low frequency, foam is the wrong purchase and we will say so.
What is the minimum order and how is it packed?
The same minimums apply on export. Acoustic foam, 200 sq ft, about 19 sq m. BassBloc, 300 sq ft, about 28 sq m. Bass traps, 10 pieces. A BassBloc panel is 1800 x 900 mm, which is 1.62 sq m or about 17.4 sq ft, so the BassBloc minimum is roughly 17 panels. Compressed and boxed for foam, palletised flat for BassBloc.
