Manufactured in India, supplied in Berlin
Ceiling baffles and clouds in Berlin
We manufacture ceiling baffles and clouds at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Berlin. Made at our own plant in India, packed for container transit, specified against your drawings before anything ships.

- 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
Manufacturer, not reseller. We hold no local approvals and will not imply we do. You get the price the factory quotes, material that matches across a large order, and advice that sometimes talks you out of a purchase.
01 / What it is
The product, described honestly, for a Berlin 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 Berlin is mostly altbau flats, studios, clubs, startup offices, schools, clinics.
Altbau blocks have solid masonry walls and timber joist floors, so airborne noise is controlled but footfall is not. Neubau is concrete with better floors and much harder surfaces.
- 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 Berlin.

02 / Specification
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, retail, general
- EchoPro 181800 GSM. Halls, atria, spaces with a target
- EchoMax 222200 GSM. High volume and high occupancy

Consultants get the raw data, not a sales sheet. That is the whole of our side of the job, and it is set out under working with acoustic consultants.
03 / In this market
What decides the build-up in Berlin
- Altbau floors
Timber joists with fill between them pass footfall and speech. Adding mass and a resilient layer works better than anything fixed to the ceiling underneath.
- Club and live venues
Berlin nightlife runs long hours beside housing. Low frequency containment is the whole job, and it is structural, not decorative.
- Courtyard buildings
Hinterhof layouts bounce plant noise and voices between facing windows, which turns one noisy unit into a block wide problem.
- Cold winters, sealed rooms
Tight, well insulated rooms sound dead in the wrong way. Balanced absorption matters as much as isolation.
- School and campus buildings
School and university buildings are built to a high thermal standard with hard, cleanable surfaces. Speech clarity in classrooms and long corridors is where the acoustic budget goes.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate
Durability in Berlin, before acoustics is discussed
Berlin 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.
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 / Supply
Getting it to Berlin, with real dates
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Hamburg or Bremerhaven |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via 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 and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order.
Sea freight into Hamburg or Bremerhaven, then road to Berlin. 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
Four honest warnings before you buy
-
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.
-
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.
-
A claim of being local to Berlin
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.
Berlin: questions we are actually asked
Are these ceiling baffles and clouds made in Berlin?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Berlin as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India, packed for container transit, specified against your drawings before anything ships. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What decides the specification for a Berlin project?
Timber joists with fill between them pass footfall and speech. Adding mass and a resilient layer works better than anything fixed to the ceiling underneath. Berlin nightlife runs long hours beside housing. Low frequency containment is the whole job, and it is structural, not decorative. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Is this the right material for Berlin conditions?
Berlin 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 Berlin?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Hamburg or Bremerhaven, dispatch: 4 to 7 working days. Standard items dispatch in 4 to 7 working days. Grooved and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order.
What should you not buy ceiling baffles and clouds for?
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 quantity do we have to order, and in what packaging?
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.
