01 / The product
What this material is and where it earns its place in Sri Lanka
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 Sri Lanka is mostly hotels and resorts, apartments, offices, hospitals, schools, studios.
Concrete and block construction with hard floors, in houses and new apartment towers that share slabs.
- 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 Sri Lanka.
02 / Specification sheet
One specification sheet, the same in every market
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 Sri Lanka project, we supply to their specification and send the test reports rather than describing them. More on working with acoustic consultants.
03 / In this market
What we see driving Sri Lanka briefs
- Hospitality leads the market
Resorts and city hotels drive most enquiries. Guest room isolation and function room acoustics are the two recurring briefs.
- Humid, coastal, monsoon
Our PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which matters where mineral products sag within a couple of seasons.
- A very short sea leg
Western India to Colombo is one of the quickest runs we operate. Small and repeat orders are practical here in a way they are not for distant markets.
- Buying direct from the plant
No importer margin between the factory and your site, and the person answering the technical question made the product.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Temples, churches and function halls are hard volumes with long decay carrying amplified speech.
- The housing stock
Concrete and block construction with hard floors, in houses and new apartment towers that share slabs.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate
Why the climate in Sri Lanka changes the material, not the target
Sri Lanka 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.
For a Sri Lanka interior where the finish leads, we will say plainly what each option costs you acoustically. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Route to site
Supply into Sri Lanka, start to site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Colombo, then a short road run to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Colombo |
| 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, not after.
Sea freight into Colombo, then a short road run to site. The short transit means even modest consignments move economically. Air freight for samples.
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.

What we will tell you that a reseller will not
-
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.
-
Coverage bought instead of a target
Lining every surface is a purchase, not a result. We would rather calculate the area against a reverberation target and sell you less of it.

A claim of being local to Sri Lanka
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.
Sri Lanka: questions we are actually asked
Is there a Sri Lanka 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 Sri Lanka as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Colombo. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
Why would a Sri Lanka build-up differ from anywhere else?
Western India to Colombo is one of the quickest runs we operate. Small and repeat orders are practical here in a way they are not for distant markets. Resorts and city hotels drive most enquiries. Guest room isolation and function room acoustics are the two recurring briefs. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Will this material last in the Sri Lanka climate?
Sri Lanka 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 Sri Lanka?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Colombo, 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 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.
How is the order packed and what is the minimum?
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.
