Manufactured in India, supplied in Sweden
Wooden slat acoustic panels in Sweden
We manufacture wooden slat acoustic panels at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Sweden. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Gothenburg, then road onward, with the domestic leg quoted separately because Sweden is a long country.

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 material, and what it actually does on a Sweden 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 Sweden is mostly timber buildings and apartments, offices, schools, healthcare, hotels, studios.
Concrete apartment blocks and timber frame housing with tight envelopes, hard floors and 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 Sweden.
02 / Data sheet
One specification sheet, the same in every market
These figures are published and they do not move. The thing worth arguing about is not the number on the sheet, it is which grade and which build-up suits the room you are treating.
- 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

Where a consultant is already engaged on a Sweden project, we supply to their specification and send the test reports rather than describing them. More on working with acoustic consultants.
03 / On the ground
The Sweden conditions that change the answer
- Classes are written and verified
Projects arrive with a class and someone checks it afterwards. Send us the target and we will say where our material sits against it.
- Timber at scale
Sweden builds tall in timber, and timber is light. Low frequency passes easily, so mass and decoupling do the work.
- Sealed through a long winter
Ventilation runs constantly in closed buildings, so plant noise matters more than street noise.
- A long country
A site in the north has a real domestic leg. We quote it separately so the dates are honest.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Church buildings, culture houses and school halls are hard long-decay volumes.
For a Sweden practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
04 / Durability
The Sweden climate decides the material list
Sweden 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.
Designers get colour, pattern and CNC options with the absorption figure attached to each. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Route to site
What the route into Sweden actually looks like
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Gothenburg, then road onward to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Gothenburg |
| 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. The sea leg from India is long, so plan the full door to door window into the programme. We give real dates, not optimistic ones.
Sea freight into Gothenburg, then road onward 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 / Read this first
Where this goes wrong, said plainly
-
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.
-
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 Sweden certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.
Sweden: questions we are actually asked
Are these wooden slat acoustic panels made in Sweden?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Sweden as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Gothenburg, then road onward, with the domestic leg quoted separately because Sweden is a long country. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
Why would a Sweden build-up differ from anywhere else?
Projects arrive with a class and someone checks it afterwards. Send us the target and we will say where our material sits against it. Sweden builds tall in timber, and timber is light. Low frequency passes easily, so mass and decoupling do the work. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Is this the right material for Sweden conditions?
Sweden 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.
How does an order actually travel to Sweden?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Gothenburg, then road onward to site, dispatch: 4 to 7 working days. Standard items dispatch in 4 to 7 working days. The sea leg from India is long, so plan the full door to door window into the programme. We give real dates, not optimistic ones.
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.
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.

Send the drawings, get a straight answer
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.
