Manufactured in India, supplied in Atlanta
Acoustic panels in Atlanta
We manufacture acoustic panels at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Atlanta. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Savannah, then road to Atlanta, with the inland leg written into the dates we quote.

- Grooved panels
- Cut pattern in PET felt, adds visual rhythm without changing the absorber
- Test standard

- Made at our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, India
- One batch across the order, no blending between runs
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 / What it is
The material, and what it actually does on a Atlanta job
The full absorber range rather than one product: plain PET felt, printed felt, grooved panels and fabric finishes, chosen by how the room is used and how it has to look.
Work reaching us from Atlanta is mostly production stages, edit and mix rooms, offices, schools, clinics, restaurants, home theatres.
American homes are timber frame with gypsum board on both faces, so a party wall or a basement ceiling has almost no mass. Adding a second leaf with a limp membrane between does more than any amount of surface treatment.
- Wall array Panels placed at first reflection points rather than spread evenly. Fewer panels, better result.
- Ceiling first In most rooms the ceiling is the largest untreated surface and the cheapest square metre of result.
- Mixed finish Plain felt where it is out of eye line, printed or grooved where it is seen.
- What it will not do Coverage is not the target, reverberation time is. Lining every surface wastes money and can leave a room sounding dead and unpleasant.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for our acoustic panel range are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Atlanta.

02 / Data sheet
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.
- EchoCore 151500 GSM. General commercial
- EchoPro 181800 GSM. Rooms with a written RT target
- EchoMax 222200 GSM. High occupancy and high level spaces

If a consultant has set the target, we will quote against their figures rather than ours, and stay out of the scope they own. More on working with acoustic consultants.

What decides the build-up in Atlanta
- Production rooms have no tolerance
A mix room or a stage either isolates or it does not. There is no partial credit, which is why we design the shell before anyone chooses a fabric colour.
- Warehouse conversions
Big metal and concrete shells make superb volume and terrible acoustics. Rain on a metal deck and traffic outside both get in, and the inside is completely live.
- Light frame residential
Homes and apartments here are gypsum on studs, which passes low frequency far more easily than masonry. Added mass and a decoupled layer do the work, not absorption.
- Savannah, then the road
The container lands at the coast and drives in. We quote the sea leg and the road leg separately so the programme is built on real dates.
- School and campus buildings
Public school buildings run long corridors with hard floors and lay-in tile ceilings that were chosen for cost, not for speech. Classroom reverberation and corridor spill are the two complaints, and both respond to ceiling area rather than wall panels.
- The studio and content scene
Home and project studios go into basements and converted garages with equipment budgets far ahead of the building. The room leaks to the floor above long before it sounds wrong inside.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate and durability
Durability in Atlanta, before acoustics is discussed
Atlanta is hot dry summers and mild wet winters, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
The swing between a dry summer and a wet winter moves timber. PET felt is dimensionally stable across that swing; slat panels want a stable substrate and a ventilated fixing.
The risk we design against here is seasonal movement in timber and winter damp in unheated stock.
If the visual is fixed and the room still has to perform, that is a solvable problem and a conversation worth having early. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Logistics
How material reaches a Atlanta site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Savannah, then road to Atlanta |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Savannah |
| Packing | Palletised flat and film wrapped. Printed panels interleaved and corner protected. |
| Lead time | 4 to 7 working days standard. Printed and grooved take longer. |
Standard items dispatch in 4 to 7 working days. The sea leg to the US East Coast is long, so plan the full door to door window. We give real dates rather than optimistic ones.
Sea freight into Savannah, then road to Atlanta. Air freight for samples, colour approvals and genuinely 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.
| Trial order | 200 panels, 6,400 sq ft, mixed thickness, GSM and colour |
|---|---|
| Recommended | Full container |
A panel is 1220 x 2440 mm, which is 32 sq ft.

Four honest warnings before you buy
-
The wrong product for the problem
Coverage is not the target, reverberation time is. Lining every surface wastes money and can leave a room sounding dead and unpleasant. We would rather calculate the area than sell the wall.
-
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 Atlanta 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.

Atlanta: questions we are actually asked
Do you manufacture acoustic panels in Atlanta?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Atlanta as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Savannah, then road to Atlanta, with the inland leg written into the dates we quote. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What do you look at first on a Atlanta enquiry?
A mix room or a stage either isolates or it does not. There is no partial credit, which is why we design the shell before anyone chooses a fabric colour. Big metal and concrete shells make superb volume and terrible acoustics. Rain on a metal deck and traffic outside both get in, and the inside is completely live. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Atlanta climate affect this product?
Atlanta is hot dry summers and mild wet winters. The swing between a dry summer and a wet winter moves timber. PET felt is dimensionally stable across that swing; slat panels want a stable substrate and a ventilated fixing. The failure we design against here is seasonal movement in timber and winter damp in unheated stock.
When would material land on a Atlanta site?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Savannah, then road to Atlanta, dispatch: 4 to 7 working days. Standard items dispatch in 4 to 7 working days. The sea leg to the US East Coast is long, so plan the full door to door window. We give real dates rather than optimistic ones.
What should you not buy acoustic panels for?
Coverage is not the target, reverberation time is. Lining every surface wastes money and can leave a room sounding dead and unpleasant. We would rather calculate the area than sell the wall.
Is there a minimum order, and how does it arrive?
200 panels for a trial order, in any mix of thickness, GSM and colour. Beyond a trial we would rather quote a container load. Trial order, 200 panels, 6,400 sq ft, mixed thickness, GSM and colour. Recommended, Full container. A panel is 1220 x 2440 mm, which is 32 sq ft. Palletised flat and film wrapped. Printed panels interleaved and corner protected.
