Acoustic hanging ceiling baffles in a large open space

Manufactured in India, supplied in Bengaluru

Ceiling baffles and clouds in Bengaluru

We manufacture ceiling baffles and clouds at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Bengaluru. Bengaluru runs on large open floors full of people talking.

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 / The material

What this material is and where it earns its place in Bengaluru

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 Bengaluru is mostly tech campuses, apartment towers, microbreweries and restaurants, clinics, schools, studios.

RC frame apartments and independent houses with tile and stone floors, in dense neighbourhoods where buildings sit a few feet apart.

  • 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 Bengaluru.

02 / Specification sheet

The published figures, unchanged by location

The specification below is the same everywhere we supply, because a specification that changed by city would not be a specification. What changes is which grade and build-up is the right buy, and that is what the rest of this page is about.

  • EchoCore 151500 GSM. Offices, retail, general
  • EchoPro 181800 GSM. Halls, atria, spaces with a target
  • EchoMax 222200 GSM. High volume and high occupancy

Where a consultant is already engaged on a Bengaluru project, we supply to their specification and send the test reports rather than describing them. More on working with acoustic consultants.

03 / Local conditions

What decides the build-up in Bengaluru

  • Microbreweries and hard rooms

    Exposed brick, steel and glass by design, then packed at capacity. The ceiling plane is usually the only surface left to work with.

  • Floors full of simultaneous calls

    Hundreds of people on video calls in one room is the defining Bengaluru brief. Absorption alone will not deliver privacy. Ceiling, screens and layout have to work together.

  • Campus scale repetition

    The same detail across many floors and buildings. Consistency across a large order matters more than the headline figure on one sheet.

  • Mild climate, sealed buildings

    Air conditioned floors stay closed, so sound accumulates rather than escaping. Absorption has to be balanced, not maximised.

  • School and campus buildings

    Large engineering and school campuses with lecture halls, seminar rooms and hostels repeating the same detail across many blocks.

Architects working in Bengaluru 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 / Conditions

Why the climate in Bengaluru changes the material, not the target

Bengaluru 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.

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 / Route to site

How material reaches a Bengaluru site

Supply into Bengaluru
Made atOur own plant, Palwal, Haryana
Reaches site infour to five days
Dispatch2 to 4 working days
To sitefour to five days
PackingFlat packed with fixings, sets labelled by row so the install sequence matches the drawing.
Lead timeConfirmed against the drawing. Standard sizes 4 to 7 working days.

Standard items dispatch in 2 to 4 working days from our plant at Palwal. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.

By road from Palwal, roughly twenty one hundred kilometres, normally four to five days on a dedicated truck.

500 sq ft, about 46 sq m, across baffles and clouds together.

Baffles and clouds500 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 / Read this first

The things worth knowing before you place the order

  • 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.

  • Local approvals that nobody actually holds

    We hold no Bengaluru certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.

FAQ

Bengaluru: questions we are actually asked

Where are the ceiling baffles and clouds you supply to Bengaluru actually made?

No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Bengaluru as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Bengaluru runs on large open floors full of people talking. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.

What changes the specification on a Bengaluru job?

Hundreds of people on video calls in one room is the defining Bengaluru brief. Absorption alone will not deliver privacy. Ceiling, screens and layout have to work together. The same detail across many floors and buildings. Consistency across a large order matters more than the headline figure on one sheet. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.

Is this the right material for Bengaluru conditions?

Bengaluru 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.

How does an order actually travel to Bengaluru?

made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: four to five days, dispatch: 2 to 4 working days. Standard items dispatch in 2 to 4 working days from our plant at Palwal. 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.

How is the order packed and what is the minimum?

500 sq ft, about 46 sq m, across baffles and clouds together. 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.
