Manufactured in India, supplied in Thrissur
Wooden slat acoustic panels in Thrissur
We manufacture wooden slat acoustic panels at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Thrissur. Thrissur runs on events, retail and institutions, and all three need rooms where a large number of people can hear something clearly.

01 / Start here
What this is, and what it changes in a Thrissur room
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 Thrissur is mostly auditoriums and function halls, jewellery and retail floors, banks, colleges, hotels, clinics.
Independent houses with high ceilings, tile floors and open plan layouts built for heat and very heavy monsoon, which rules out anything that absorbs moisture.
- 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 Thrissur.
02 / Data sheet
Published specification, identical wherever we ship it
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.
- 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

If a consultant has set the target, we will quote against their figures rather than ours, and stay out of the scope they own. More on working with acoustic consultants.
03 / In this market
What decides the build-up in Thrissur
- Large retail floors
Tall, hard, brightly finished showrooms where staff talk to customers all day. Ceiling absorption does almost all of the work.
- Halls full of people
A hall at full capacity behaves differently from an empty one. The design has to work when it is full, which is when it is being judged.
- Humidity decides the material
PET felt does not hold moisture or feed mould, which matters where monsoon damp defeats mineral products within a few seasons.
- Five to six days by road
A long run, confirmed before dispatch, with samples sent ahead.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Auditoria, church buildings and community halls are large hard volumes carrying amplified speech and music.
For a Thrissur practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate and durability
What the Thrissur climate rules in and rules out
Thrissur 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 Thrissur interior where the finish leads, we will say plainly what each option costs you acoustically. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Logistics
Supply into Thrissur, start to site
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | five to six days |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | five to six days |
| 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 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 two thousand five hundred kilometres, normally five to six days on a dedicated truck.
500 sq ft, about 46 sq m, whatever the substrate, pattern, width or thickness.
| 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 / Before you buy
The things worth knowing before you place the order
-
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.
-
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 Thrissur
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.
Thrissur: questions we are actually asked
Where are the wooden slat acoustic panels you supply to Thrissur actually made?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Thrissur as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Thrissur runs on events, retail and institutions, and all three need rooms where a large number of people can hear something clearly. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What decides the specification for a Thrissur project?
A hall at full capacity behaves differently from an empty one. The design has to work when it is full, which is when it is being judged. Tall, hard, brightly finished showrooms where staff talk to customers all day. Ceiling absorption does almost all of the work. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Does Thrissur weather shorten the life of this material?
Thrissur 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.
What is the delivery time into Thrissur?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: five to six 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.
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?
500 sq ft, about 46 sq m, whatever the substrate, pattern, width or thickness. 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.
