Importing panels from Giks Accoustics/sealing fibre/ rockwool in DIY panels

[X man]

Has anyone imported acoustic panels from Giks - How does payment of duty works in such cases>

Also for DIY panels, is there any way to ensure glasswool/ ecose fibres do not start leaking out - a concern I have read online about using these as acoustic panels.

GIK Acoustics now has distribution in India!!

Guys, I just happened to get in touch with GIK folks in UK for getting their panels for my Room treatment. I was initially thinking that I need to import it which would end up in 2X the actual cost. But ,to my surprise their marketing manager told me that GIK now have a distributor in India...

No idea if they are still doing GIK

i tried that - exchanged many emails - they were kind enough to respond quickly.

found it too expensive - the shipping and customs etc...

GiK assures very good packing though

I am making for myself ...given the costs...

should have the pics out in about 10-12 days

regards

DIY route should be inexpensive.. May be you can cover them with Spandex material, acoustically transparent cloth..

You should check out Aural Exchange - they have Knauf Ecose (formaldehyde free) rock wool which is supposed to be better than Roxul

I also interacted with GIKs and the shipping costs 300 GBP for a box! I am going for DIY too but still need to figure out the logistics..Since you are also in Mumbai, is your carpenter doing it for you?
