Manufactured in India, supplied in Vellore
Wood wool acoustic panels in Vellore
We manufacture wood wool acoustic panels at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Vellore. Vellore is dominated by medical and engineering institutions, which makes clinical privacy and lecture intelligibility the two recurring briefs.

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 / The material
What you are buying, and what it fixes in Vellore
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 Vellore is mostly teaching hospitals, engineering campuses, lecture theatres, hostels, offices, hotels.
RC frame houses and apartments with hard floors, built for heat and humidity with open plan layouts that carry sound room to room.
- 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 Vellore.
02 / Specification
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.
- Natural20 mm. Plant rooms, back of house, industrial
- Painted20 mm. Classrooms, halls, visible ceilings

On a Vellore 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 Vellore briefs
- Clinical privacy
Consult and counselling rooms where conversations must not carry. That is a partition and door question before it is a panel question.
- Lecture theatres
Large teaching rooms where every seat has to hear clearly, usually in concrete and tile.
- Hostels and residences
Students living next to each other and to corridors, where separating detail does the work.
- Five days by road
A long run, confirmed before dispatch, with samples sent ahead of the order.
- Assembly and performance rooms
Kalyana mandapams, temple halls and auditoria are very large hard volumes carrying amplified speech and music.
- School and campus buildings
Very large school and college campuses in concrete and tile, with auditoria and seminar halls used constantly.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Conditions
Durability in Vellore, before acoustics is discussed
Vellore 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 Vellore 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
Supply into Vellore, start to site
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | five days |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | five days |
| 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 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 twenty two hundred kilometres, normally five days on a dedicated truck.
500 sq ft, about 46 sq m.
| 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
Where this goes wrong, said plainly
-
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.
-
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.

Suppliers who imply a Vellore presence
Ask any supplier where the material is made and who carries the warranty. We make it at Palwal in Haryana and we say so on every page, including this one.
Vellore: questions we are actually asked
Are these wood wool acoustic panels made in Vellore?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Vellore as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Vellore is dominated by medical and engineering institutions, which makes clinical privacy and lecture intelligibility the two recurring briefs. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What changes the specification on a Vellore job?
Consult and counselling rooms where conversations must not carry. That is a partition and door question before it is a panel question. Large teaching rooms where every seat has to hear clearly, usually in concrete and tile. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Does Vellore weather shorten the life of this material?
Vellore 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 Vellore?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: five 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 will wood wool acoustic panels 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.
Is there a minimum order, and how does it arrive?
500 sq ft, about 46 sq m. 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.
