01 / The product
What this material is and where it earns its place in Albania
A rigid non-woven panel pressed from 100% polyester fibre, a large part of it recycled. It absorbs mid and high frequency energy and finishes as the visible surface, so it is both the acoustic layer and the finish.
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.
- Direct to wall Panel bonded or mechanically fixed flat to the substrate. Simplest, and the weakest at low frequency.
- On a 25 to 50 mm air gap The same panel on battens. The air gap moves absorption down in frequency at no extra material cost, and is the cheapest improvement available.
- Over a porous backing Panel over mineral or PET backing where the room needs genuine low mid control.
- What it will not do It absorbs. It does not block.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for PET felt panels are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Albania.

The numbers, and they do not move by city
Nothing below changes by location. The decisions that do change are grade, thickness and how the material is mounted, and those are covered further down.
- EchoCore 151500 GSM. Offices, classrooms, general commercial
- EchoPro 181800 GSM. Studios, auditoria, rooms with a written RT target
- EchoMax 222200 GSM. High occupancy and high level spaces

03 / In this market
What we see driving Albania briefs
- 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.
For a Albania practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate and durability
Durability in Albania, before acoustics is discussed
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.
Interior designers tend to arrive with the look already decided. We will tell you which finish gets there without losing the acoustics. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Getting it there
Supply into Albania, start to site
| 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 | Palletised flat and film wrapped, cut sheets interleaved. Packing list and weights issued with the quote. |
| Lead time | 4 to 7 working days for standard colours and thicknesses. Grooved and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order. |
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.
200 panels for a trial order, in any mix of thickness, GSM and colour. Beyond a trial we would rather quote a container load, because the price per panel and the freight per panel both fall sharply and a part load pays for space it does not use.
| Trial order | 200 panels, 6,400 sq ft, mixed thickness, GSM and colour |
|---|---|
| Recommended | Full container, for the best price per panel and the lowest freight per panel |
A panel is 1220 x 2440 mm, which is 32 sq ft.
06 / Worth knowing
Where this goes wrong, said plainly
-
The wrong product for the problem
It absorbs. It does not block. A PET panel on a shared wall will make the room sound better and will not stop the neighbour being heard. If the brief is stopping noise passing through a wall or floor, the answer is mass and decoupling, and we will say so before quoting.
-
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
Do you manufacture PET felt acoustic panels 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.
How does the Albania climate affect this product?
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.
When are PET felt acoustic panels the wrong purchase?
It absorbs. It does not block. A PET panel on a shared wall will make the room sound better and will not stop the neighbour being heard. If the brief is stopping noise passing through a wall or floor, the answer is mass and decoupling, and we will say so before quoting.
What quantity do we have to order, and in what packaging?
200 panels for a trial order, in any mix of thickness, GSM and colour. Beyond a trial we would rather quote a container load, because the price per panel and the freight per panel both fall sharply and a part load pays for space it does not use. Trial order, 200 panels, 6,400 sq ft, mixed thickness, GSM and colour. Recommended, Full container, for the best price per panel and the lowest freight per panel. A panel is 1220 x 2440 mm, which is 32 sq ft. Palletised flat and film wrapped, cut sheets interleaved. Packing list and weights issued with the quote.
