Manufactured in India, supplied in Albania
Ceiling baffles and clouds in Albania
We manufacture ceiling baffles and clouds at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Albania. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Durrës, then a short road run to almost anywhere in the country.
- Material
- 100% PET non-woven, the panel family
- Thickness
- 9 to 24 mm
- Size
- Made to the drawing, standard and custom
- Exposure
- Both faces work, which is why suspended area outperforms the same area laid flat
- Test standard
- ASTM C423
- Lead time
- Confirmed against the drawing
- Minimum order
- 500 sq ft, about 46 sq m
- ASTM C423
- Made at our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, India
- One batch across the order, no blending between runs
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 / The material
What you are buying, and what it fixes in Albania
PET felt suspended from the soffit, vertically as baffles or horizontally as clouds. It is how you treat a room with exposed services, where there is no ceiling to line.
Work reaching us from Albania is mostly coastal hotels and resorts, apartment blocks, restaurants, offices, schools, clinics.
Concrete frame with block infill and hard floors, in blocks that sit close together with narrow gaps between them.
- Vertical baffles Hung on edge in rows. Both faces absorb, so coverage figures based on plan area understate them.
- Horizontal clouds Flat rafts over the occupied zone, which also reflect early speech energy back down where it helps.
- Mixed with services Set out around ducts, trays and lighting rather than fighting them, coordinated from your reflected ceiling plan.
- What it will not do Baffles are efficient, not magic. In a very tall volume the height above the baffle line still rings, and the honest answer is either more area or accepting a higher RT, not a denser panel.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for baffles and clouds are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Albania.

02 / The numbers
Published specification, identical wherever we ship it
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.
- EchoCore 151500 GSM. Offices, retail, general
- EchoPro 181800 GSM. Halls, atria, spaces with a target
- EchoMax 222200 GSM. High volume and high occupancy

On a Albania job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.
03 / Local conditions
What decides the build-up in Albania
- Coastal humidity and salt
PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which matters where mineral products sag within a couple of seasons.
- Season openings do not move
Coastal work has to finish before the season starts. Real dispatch and transit dates matter more here than a marginally better price.
- Concrete blocks, hard interiors
The structure carries mass, so the recurring problem is rooms that are simply too live and impact passing down through slabs.
- A small country, a short road leg
Durrës is close to most sites, which keeps the inland cost low and the landed price predictable.
- School and campus buildings
School buildings are hard surfaced with long corridors and halls that double as gymnasiums.
Architects working in Albania usually need the build-up before the product. We will draw the section and mark what does the work. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate
Why the climate in Albania changes the material, not the target
Albania is mild summers and cold, wet winters, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
Cold external walls and long heating seasons make condensation behind a lining the thing to design out. PET felt is unaffected by damp air.
The risk we design against here is condensation and cold bridging behind new linings.
Designers get colour, pattern and CNC options with the absorption figure attached to each. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Logistics
What the route into Albania actually looks like
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Durrës, then a short road run to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Durrës |
| Packing | Flat packed with fixings, sets labelled by row so the install sequence matches the drawing. |
| Lead time | Confirmed against the drawing. Standard sizes 4 to 7 working days. |
Standard items dispatch in 4 to 7 working days. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
Sea freight into Durrës, then a short road run to site. Air freight for samples and urgent quantities.
The same 500 sq ft minimum applies on export.
| Baffles and clouds | 500 sq ft, about 46 sq m |
|---|
Baffles and clouds are cut to the drawing, so the minimum is counted on finished panel area. Both faces of a hung baffle absorb, which is why coverage taken off a plan understates what the order actually does.
06 / Straight talk
What we will tell you that a reseller will not
-
The wrong product for the problem
Baffles are efficient, not magic. In a very tall volume the height above the baffle line still rings, and the honest answer is either more area or accepting a higher RT, not a denser panel.
-
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.

Suppliers who imply a Albania 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.
Albania: questions we are actually asked
Are these ceiling baffles and clouds made in Albania?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Albania as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Durrës, then a short road run to almost anywhere in the country. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What do you look at first on a Albania enquiry?
Coastal work has to finish before the season starts. Real dispatch and transit dates matter more here than a marginally better price. The structure carries mass, so the recurring problem is rooms that are simply too live and impact passing down through slabs. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Does Albania weather shorten the life of this material?
Albania is mild summers and cold, wet winters. Cold external walls and long heating seasons make condensation behind a lining the thing to design out. PET felt is unaffected by damp air. The failure we design against here is condensation and cold bridging behind new linings.
How does an order actually travel to Albania?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Durrës, then a short road run to site, dispatch: 4 to 7 working days. Standard items dispatch in 4 to 7 working days. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
What will ceiling baffles and clouds not do?
Baffles are efficient, not magic. In a very tall volume the height above the baffle line still rings, and the honest answer is either more area or accepting a higher RT, not a denser panel.
What quantity do we have to order, and in what packaging?
The same 500 sq ft minimum applies on export. Baffles and clouds, 500 sq ft, about 46 sq m. Baffles and clouds are cut to the drawing, so the minimum is counted on finished panel area. Both faces of a hung baffle absorb, which is why coverage taken off a plan understates what the order actually does. Flat packed with fixings, sets labelled by row so the install sequence matches the drawing.
