Manufactured in India, supplied in Vapi
Wooden slat acoustic panels in Vapi
We manufacture wooden slat acoustic panels at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Vapi. Vapi is an industrial belt, and almost everything we supply here goes into a working plant rather than an interior.

We make this ourselves and ship it to you. No local branch, no borrowed certifications, no dealer margin. One batch across the whole order, and an honest answer when the product is wrong for the problem.
01 / Start here
The product, described honestly, for a Vapi brief
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 Vapi is mostly process and chemical plants, utility and pump rooms, control rooms, offices, worker areas, clinics.
RC frame apartments and bungalows with stone and tile floors, in dry dusty conditions where open products collect dust.
- 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 Vapi.
02 / Data sheet
The numbers, and they do not move by city
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.
- 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
| Substrate | MDF, FR MDF, HDF or HDHMR |

Consultants get the raw data, not a sales sheet. That is the whole of our side of the job, and it is set out under working with acoustic consultants.
03 / In this market
What decides the build-up in Vapi
- Plant runs continuously
Pumps, compressors and blowers do not stop, so the noise is constant rather than intermittent. Enclosure at the source is the only answer that holds.
- Boundary noise matters
Housing sits close to industry here. Containing sound inside the site is a separate design from making the control room usable.
- Control rooms need a low floor
Operators listening for alarms need background noise down before anything else matters.
- Corrosive, humid air
PET felt does not absorb moisture, rot or feed mould, which matters in a coastal industrial climate.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Auditoriums, banquet halls and places of worship are large hard volumes in concrete and stone where speech falls apart long before anyone calls the room echoey.
For a Vapi practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
04 / Conditions
What the Vapi climate rules in and rules out
Vapi is hot and dry for most of the year, with dust and high daytime surface temperatures, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
Dust is the enemy of open-cell products. PET felt does not shed, does not hold dust in the way fabric-wrapped glass wool does, and wipes down. Timber needs a stable indoor RH or it moves.
The risk we design against here is dust ingress and thermal movement in long runs.
If the visual is fixed and the room still has to perform, that is a solvable problem and a conversation worth having early. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Route to site
Getting it to Vapi, with real dates
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | three days |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | three 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 twelve hundred kilometres, normally three 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
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.
-
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 Vapi certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.
Vapi: questions we are actually asked
Where are the wooden slat acoustic panels you supply to Vapi actually made?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Vapi as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Vapi is an industrial belt, and almost everything we supply here goes into a working plant rather than an interior. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What do you look at first on a Vapi enquiry?
Pumps, compressors and blowers do not stop, so the noise is constant rather than intermittent. Enclosure at the source is the only answer that holds. Housing sits close to industry here. Containing sound inside the site is a separate design from making the control room usable. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Vapi climate affect this product?
Vapi is hot and dry for most of the year, with dust and high daytime surface temperatures. Dust is the enemy of open-cell products. PET felt does not shed, does not hold dust in the way fabric-wrapped glass wool does, and wipes down. Timber needs a stable indoor RH or it moves. The failure we design against here is dust ingress and thermal movement in long runs.
How quickly can material reach a site in Vapi?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: three 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.
Where do wooden slat acoustic panels fail to help?
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.
Is there a minimum order, and how does it arrive?
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.
