Manufactured in India, supplied in Bali
Acoustic panels in Bali
We manufacture acoustic panels at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Bali. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Surabaya or Benoa, then road or inter-island onward to site.
- Plain PET felt
- 9 to 24 mm, 1220 x 2440 mm standard, up to 2440 x 4270 mm, 1200 to 3600 GSM
- Printed felt
- 1800 x 900 mm, image printed into the felt rather than onto a facing
- Grooved panels
- Cut pattern in PET felt, adds visual rhythm without changing the absorber
- Test standard
- ASTM C423
- Lead time
- 4 to 7 working days standard
- Minimum order
- From 10 panels
- ASTM C423
- 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 product, described honestly, for a Bali brief
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 Bali is mostly resorts and villas, beach clubs and restaurants, spas, offices, guest rooms.
Concrete frame with block infill in cities, timber and light construction outside them. Apartment stock shares walls and slabs that were never detailed for two households.
- 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 Bali.

02 / The numbers
Published specification, identical wherever we ship it
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

03 / In this market
What we see driving Bali briefs
- Humidity and salt destroy the wrong material
PET felt does not absorb moisture, rot or feed mould. Mineral products sag here within a single season.
- Buildings that are only partly enclosed
Open pavilions and sliding walls mean there is often no envelope to isolate. The honest answer is treating what is there and telling you what cannot be fixed.
- Beach clubs and neighbours
Late trading venues beside villas and other resorts, where containment of low frequency is what keeps the operation on good terms.
- An onward leg to the island
Material arrives and then continues by road or ferry. Tell us and we pack for the second journey.
- School and campus buildings
Classrooms are hard, naturally ventilated and open to corridor and street noise, so absorption alone will not fix intelligibility.
- The studio and content scene
A large content and music scene works out of rooms in commercial buildings with thin partitions and constant neighbouring activity.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Durability
The Bali climate decides the material list
Bali is warm and humid through most of the year, with a long wet season, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
Humidity is the deciding factor. PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which is why it outlasts fabric-wrapped mineral wool in this climate. Wood wool and timber need a ventilated cavity behind them.
The risk we design against here is mould, sagging fabric finishes and swelling in timber.
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 / Logistics
Supply into Bali, start to site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Surabaya or Benoa, then road to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Surabaya or Benoa |
| 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. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
Sea freight into Surabaya or Benoa, then road or ferry onward to site. Air freight for samples.
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.
06 / Before you buy
What we will tell you that a reseller will not
-
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.
-
Square footage quoted before the room is understood
Anyone can price a wall. Working out how much material the room actually needs usually reduces the order, which is why not everyone does it.

A claim of being local to Bali
We manufacture in India and supply here. We do not run an office in this city and we will not pretend to, because you would find out on the first site visit.

Bali: questions we are actually asked
Do you manufacture acoustic panels in Bali?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Bali as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Surabaya or Benoa, then road or inter-island onward to site. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
Why would a Bali build-up differ from anywhere else?
Open pavilions and sliding walls mean there is often no envelope to isolate. The honest answer is treating what is there and telling you what cannot be fixed. Late trading venues beside villas and other resorts, where containment of low frequency is what keeps the operation on good terms. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Will this material last in the Bali climate?
Bali is warm and humid through most of the year, with a long wet season. Humidity is the deciding factor. PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which is why it outlasts fabric-wrapped mineral wool in this climate. Wood wool and timber need a ventilated cavity behind them. The failure we design against here is mould, sagging fabric finishes and swelling in timber.
What is the delivery time into Bali?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Surabaya or Benoa, then road 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 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.
What is the minimum order and how is it packed?
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.
