- One batch across the order, no blending between runs
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 material
What this material is and where it earns its place in Taiwan
Wood fibre bound into a rigid board with an open texture. Robust, paintable and used where the surface takes knocks, which is why it ends up in schools, sports halls and plant rooms.
Work reaching us from Taiwan is mostly manufacturing and measurement rooms, apartments, offices, hotels, schools, hospitals.
Reinforced concrete towers and older walk ups with hard tile floors, sitting very close together on narrow streets.
- Direct fix Mechanically fixed to the soffit or wall. Durable and simple.
- On a cavity Mounted on battens with an air gap, which is where the low mid performance comes from.
- With a porous backing Board over mineral backing where the room needs more than the board alone gives.
- What it will not do At 20 mm it is a mid and high frequency absorber, not a bass solution, and painting it heavily will close the surface and reduce what it does. If a room needs low frequency control, depth or a cavity has to come from somewhere.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for wood wool panels are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Taiwan.
02 / The numbers
Published specification, identical wherever we ship it
The specification below is the same everywhere we supply, because a specification that changed by city would not be a specification. What changes is which grade and build-up is the right buy, and that is what the rest of this page is about.
- Natural20 mm. Plant rooms, back of house, industrial
- Painted20 mm. Classrooms, halls, visible ceilings
| Panel size | 1200 x 600 mm |

On a Taiwan job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.
03 / On the ground
The Taiwan conditions that change the answer
- Typhoons and humidity
PET felt does not hold moisture or feed mould, which matters through a humid season in a sealed room.
- Measurement rooms are unforgiving
A test or metrology space needs a genuinely low background before any reading means anything. That is isolation against a written target.
- Built to move
Seismic detailing means junctions that must stay flexible. An acoustic layer cannot bridge a movement joint rigidly.
- Dense apartment living
Concrete blocks where impact through the slab is the recurring complaint rather than airborne transfer.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Temples, halls and auditoria are hard volumes carrying amplified speech and music.
- School and campus buildings
Classrooms are hard and naturally ventilated with long corridors and large assembly halls.
If you are specifying for a Taiwan project, we can give you a section, a BOQ and the honest limits of each layer. See how we support architects.
04 / Conditions
What the Taiwan climate rules in and rules out
Taiwan is hot summers, mild winters and a distinct wet season, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
PET felt handles the wet months without absorbing moisture or feeding mould. Timber and wood wool want a ventilated cavity and a stable indoor RH.
The risk we design against here is wet-season humidity behind linings.
For a Taiwan interior where the finish leads, we will say plainly what each option costs you acoustically. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Supply
Getting it to Taiwan, with real dates
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Kaohsiung or Taipei, then road to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Kaohsiung |
| Packing | Palletised flat, edge protected. Boards are rigid but the edges chip, so they travel protected. |
| Lead time | 4 to 7 working days for standard sizes. |
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 Kaohsiung or Taipei, then road to site. Air freight for samples and urgent quantities.
The same 500 sq ft minimum applies on export.
| Any finish | 500 sq ft, about 46 sq m |
|---|
A panel is 1200 x 600 mm, which is 0.72 sq m or about 7.75 sq ft, so the minimum is roughly 65 panels.
06 / Straight talk
The things worth knowing before you place the order
-
The wrong product for the problem
At 20 mm it is a mid and high frequency absorber, not a bass solution, and painting it heavily will close the surface and reduce what it does. If a room needs low frequency control, depth or a cavity has to come from somewhere.
-
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.
-
Local approvals that nobody actually holds
We hold no Taiwan certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.
Taiwan: questions we are actually asked
Are these wood wool acoustic panels made in Taiwan?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Taiwan as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Kaohsiung or Taipei, then road to site. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What changes the specification on a Taiwan job?
A test or metrology space needs a genuinely low background before any reading means anything. That is isolation against a written target. Seismic detailing means junctions that must stay flexible. An acoustic layer cannot bridge a movement joint rigidly. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Is this the right material for Taiwan conditions?
Taiwan is hot summers, mild winters and a distinct wet season. PET felt handles the wet months without absorbing moisture or feeding mould. Timber and wood wool want a ventilated cavity and a stable indoor RH. The failure we design against here is wet-season humidity behind linings.
How does an order actually travel to Taiwan?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Kaohsiung or Taipei, 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, not after.
When are wood wool acoustic panels the wrong purchase?
At 20 mm it is a mid and high frequency absorber, not a bass solution, and painting it heavily will close the surface and reduce what it does. If a room needs low frequency control, depth or a cavity has to come from somewhere.
What quantity do we have to order, and in what packaging?
The same 500 sq ft minimum applies on export. Any finish, 500 sq ft, about 46 sq m. A panel is 1200 x 600 mm, which is 0.72 sq m or about 7.75 sq ft, so the minimum is roughly 65 panels. Palletised flat, edge protected. Boards are rigid but the edges chip, so they travel protected.
