Manufactured in India, supplied in Austria
Ceiling baffles and clouds in Austria
We manufacture ceiling baffles and clouds at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Austria. Made at our own plant in India and routed through Koper or Hamburg, then rail and road inland.
- 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 / What it is
The product, described honestly, for a Austria brief
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 Austria is mostly apartments, alpine hotels, offices, schools, clinics, studios, timber buildings.
Gruenderzeit blocks have solid masonry walls and timber joist floors, so footfall carries even where airborne noise does not. Newer stock is concrete and much harder inside.
- 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 Austria.

02 / Specification sheet
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 Austria job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.

What the buildings in Austria do to the specification
- Landlocked, so plan the inland leg
Koper is the shorter route from India, Hamburg the more frequent one. Either way there is rail and road after the port, and we build that into the date rather than quoting you a port arrival.
- Timber construction is growing
Cross laminated and timber frame buildings are light. Light means low frequency passes easily, so the answer is added mass and a resilient break, not more absorption.
- Resort work runs to an opening date
Alpine hotel refurbishment happens in a short window between seasons. Real dispatch and transit dates matter more than a slightly better price.
- Numbers before materials
Send the target values and the build-up. We will tell you what our material reaches and where it will not get you there, in writing, before you commit.
- School and campus buildings
School and university rooms are built to a high standard with hard surfaces, and lecture spaces need intelligibility over a long tail.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Conditions
The Austria climate decides the material list
Austria is cool and damp, with long heating seasons and cold external walls, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
Cold wall build-ups and long heating seasons mean interstitial condensation is a real risk behind any lining. PET felt is unaffected by damp air and will not feed mould where a fabric-faced mineral product would.
The risk we design against here is condensation behind linings in older, poorly insulated 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 / Supply
Getting it to Austria, with real dates
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Koper or Hamburg, then rail and road inland |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Koper or Hamburg |
| 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 Koper or Hamburg, then rail and road inland. 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 / Worth knowing
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.
-
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 Austria 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.
Austria: questions we are actually asked
Do you manufacture ceiling baffles and clouds in Austria?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Austria as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and routed through Koper or Hamburg, then rail and road inland. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What decides the specification for a Austria project?
Koper is the shorter route from India, Hamburg the more frequent one. Either way there is rail and road after the port, and we build that into the date rather than quoting you a port arrival. Cross laminated and timber frame buildings are light. Light means low frequency passes easily, so the answer is added mass and a resilient break, not more absorption. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Will this material last in the Austria climate?
Austria is cool and damp, with long heating seasons and cold external walls. Cold wall build-ups and long heating seasons mean interstitial condensation is a real risk behind any lining. PET felt is unaffected by damp air and will not feed mould where a fabric-faced mineral product would. The failure we design against here is condensation behind linings in older, poorly insulated stock.
How does an order actually travel to Austria?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Koper or Hamburg, then rail and road inland, 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.
Where do ceiling baffles and clouds fail to help?
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 is the minimum order and how is it packed?
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.
