Manufactured in India, supplied in Thane
Acoustic foam and BassBloc in Thane
We manufacture acoustic foam and BassBloc at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Thane. Thane is dense, vertical and constantly redeveloping, so almost everything we supply here goes into a building with neighbours on every side.
- BassBloc size
- 1800 x 900 mm
- BassBloc thickness
- 20 mm
- BassBloc density
- 100 kg per cubic metre
- Effective range
- 100 to 500 Hz
- BassBloc NRC
- 0.85
- Lead time
- 4 to 7 working days
- Minimum order
- From 200 sq ft
- Made at our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, India
- One batch across the order, no blending between runs
- Test reports sent on request, not just quoted
Manufacturer, not reseller. We hold no local approvals and will not imply we do. You get the price the factory quotes, material that matches across a large order, and advice that sometimes talks you out of a purchase.
01 / What it is
The product, described honestly, for a Thane 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 Thane is mostly residential towers and redevelopment, offices, malls and retail, restaurants, schools, clinics.
Towers and chawls side by side, in RC frame with tile floors. Redevelopment stock shares slabs and lift cores, and monsoon damp rules out anything that holds moisture.
- 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 Thane.
02 / Specification
One specification sheet, the same in every market
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.
- Foam wedge and pyramidLow density. Flutter and high frequency only
- BassBloc100 kg per cubic metre. Low mid absorption, control rooms, live rooms
| BassBloc size | 1800 x 900 mm |
|---|---|
| BassBloc thickness | 20 mm |
| BassBloc density | 100 kg per cubic metre |
| Effective range | 100 to 500 Hz |
| BassBloc NRC | 0.85 |
On a Thane job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.
03 / In this market
What we see driving Thane briefs
- Impact noise from above
Footfall through a slab is the most common complaint we get from this city. It is a floor problem, and treating the ceiling below rarely fixes it.
- Redevelopment at speed
Old buildings replaced by towers, built fast to a fixed cost. Acoustic detail is easy to lose unless it is specified early.
- Lifts, pumps and services
Shafts and pump rooms sit next to bedrooms in tight plans. That is an isolation job at the source.
- Coastal humidity
PET felt does not absorb moisture or feed mould, which matters where monsoon damp defeats mineral products.
- The housing stock
Towers and chawls side by side, in RC frame with tile floors. Redevelopment stock shares slabs and lift cores, and monsoon damp rules out anything that holds moisture.
- The studio and content scene
The deepest film, dubbing and music production base in the country, with rooms built inside commercial and residential buildings under real neighbour constraints.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate and durability
Durability in Thane, before acoustics is discussed
Thane 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 Thane interior where the finish leads, we will say plainly what each option costs you acoustically. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Getting it there
How material reaches a Thane site
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | three to four days |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | three to four days |
| Packing | Compressed and boxed for foam, palletised flat for BassBloc. |
| Lead time | 4 to 7 working days. |
Standard items dispatch in 2 to 4 working days from our plant at Palwal. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
By road from Palwal, roughly fourteen hundred kilometres, normally three to four days on a dedicated truck.
200 sq ft for acoustic foam, 300 sq ft for BassBloc, 10 pieces for bass traps.
| 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
Where this goes wrong, said plainly
-
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.
-
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 Thane certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.

The product on finished jobs
Thane: questions we are actually asked
Where are the acoustic foam and BassBloc you supply to Thane actually made?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Thane as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Thane is dense, vertical and constantly redeveloping, so almost everything we supply here goes into a building with neighbours on every side. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What changes the specification on a Thane job?
Footfall through a slab is the most common complaint we get from this city. It is a floor problem, and treating the ceiling below rarely fixes it. Old buildings replaced by towers, built fast to a fixed cost. Acoustic detail is easy to lose unless it is specified early. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Will this material last in the Thane climate?
Thane 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 Thane?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: three to four days, dispatch: 2 to 4 working days. Standard items dispatch in 2 to 4 working days from our plant at Palwal. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
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?
200 sq ft for acoustic foam, 300 sq ft for BassBloc, 10 pieces for bass traps. 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.
