Why U-TONE

Acoustic felt panels vs the alternatives.

Foam and mineral wool are the two alternatives most commonly specified against U-TONE in Indian commercial projects. Here is how they compare.

Property U-TONE Recycled PET felt Foam panels PU / Melamine Mineral wool Rockwool / Glasswool
NRC range 0.70–0.90 0.45–0.65 0.55–0.80
Fire rating Class B1, BS 476 Part 7 Typically unrated or Class C in India Class A1 non-combustible
VOC / Formaldehyde None: no adhesives or binders Present in some PU variants Binder off-gassing on install
Customisation 11 profiles, 52 colours, print, inlay Cut to size only, no colour options None: concealed behind facing
Finished surface Precision-machined architectural felt Exposed foam texture Fabric or perforated facing required
Recyclability 100% PET recyclable Not recyclable Recyclable in select variants

Certifications

Specification documentation, ready on request.

All eleven U-TONE panels share one fire certificate and one acoustic test report. Specifying wall and ceiling types on the same project does not split the documentation.

Specified by

What architects and designers say.

We specified U-TONE Cut Work across three floors of the campus expansion. Lead time held within the committed window and the installation team handed over clean. We have since respecified on two additional projects.

Principal Architect, Mumbai

We had three vendors on the shortlist. Unidus won partly on cost, but mainly because their fire certification and NRC data covered both the wall and ceiling panels. That simplified the specification considerably.

Associate Director, New Delhi

The project required GRIHA compliance documentation. Unidus provided recycled content data and test reports within 48 hours. No other vendor on the shortlist responded that quickly.

Sustainability Lead, Gurugram

Installation

No major civil intervention.

Unidus teams work in 16 cities. They manufacture the panels, ship to site, and handle installation. No subcontractors, no coordination overhead.

Concealed Z-clips

Aluminium Z-clips on wall battens, flush elevation, no visible fixings. Panels can be removed and repositioned without damage.

Direct adhesive

Acoustic-grade adhesive on flat prepared substrates. Fastest for large unbroken elevations, no battens, minimal thickness addition.

Magnetic system

Panels on magnetic plates embedded in the wall finish. For installations requiring maintenance access or seasonal panel rotation.

Frequently asked

Acoustic panel questions, answered.

What is NRC and what NRC rating do these panels have?

NRC (Noise Reduction Coefficient) measures how much sound a material absorbs, on a scale of 0 to 1. U-TONE panels achieve NRC ratings of 0.70 to 0.90 depending on the panel type and thickness selected. A rating of 0.80 means the panel absorbs 80% of incident sound energy. For reference, untreated concrete absorbs roughly 0.02.

What is U-TONE made from?

U-TONE panels are manufactured from a recycled polyester felt substrate. Each square metre incorporates 88 PET bottles. The felt is dense-pressed to 180-200 kg/m³ and precision-machined to the finished profile. No adhesives, no formaldehyde, no VOC-emitting binders.

Can the panels be cut to custom sizes?

Yes. All U-TONE panels are available in standard sheet sizes (2400×1200 mm, 2400×600 mm, 1200×600 mm) and can be cut to project dimensions at our facility. Custom sizes and radius work are available from 12 m² per pattern. Tolerances are ±1 mm on cut dimensions.

How are U-TONE panels installed?

Three systems are available: concealed Z-clips (standard for most projects), direct adhesive, and a magnetic system for panels requiring removal access. All three involve no major civil intervention. Installation is carried out by trained Unidus teams in 16 cities across India.

What is the lead time for supply?

Standard lead time is 4 to 8 weeks from approved sign-off drawings. This covers manufacturing, quality inspection, and delivery to site. Sample boxes despatch within 2 working days. Fast-track options are available for urgent timelines; contact the specification desk for details.

Are these panels fire-rated?

Yes. All U-TONE panels carry Class B1 fire rating to BS 476 Part 7, meeting the requirement for Class B reaction-to-fire specified in most institutional and commercial briefs in India. ASTM E84 test reports are available for export projects or US Green Building compliance.

Are Unidus Acoustics panels available for government projects?

Yes. Unidus Acoustics is registered on the Government e-Marketplace (GeM). U-TONE panels have been specified across AIIMS campuses, SBI facilities, and government institutional projects across India. GeM product listing codes and compliant specifications are available on request.

How do I get a specification quote?

Send your project details to hi@unidusindia.com or call the specification desk at +91 88828 09694 (Monday to Saturday, 9.30 am to 6.30 pm IST). Include panel type, approximate area in m², installation city, and project timeline. We respond within one working day.
