Manufactured in India, supplied in Brisbane
Acoustic panels in Brisbane
We manufacture acoustic panels at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Brisbane. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into the Port of Brisbane.
- 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
We are the manufacturer. There is no local office and we do not claim approvals we do not hold. What you get is factory pricing, one consistent batch across the order, and a straight answer on what the material will and will not do.
01 / Start here
What you are buying, and what it fixes in Brisbane
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 Brisbane is mostly timber housing and renovations, apartments, offices, venues, schools, clinics.
Timber frame in detached housing, concrete in apartments. Apartment party walls and slabs are the source of most complaints, and impact noise needs a resilient layer.
- 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 Brisbane.

02 / The numbers
One specification sheet, the same in every market
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. General commercial
- EchoPro 181800 GSM. Rooms with a written RT target
- EchoMax 222200 GSM. High occupancy and high level spaces

Where a consultant is already engaged on a Brisbane project, we supply to their specification and send the test reports rather than describing them. More on working with acoustic consultants.
03 / On the ground
What the buildings in Brisbane do to the specification
- Subtropical humidity
PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which matters through a humid summer where mineral products sag.
- Houses raised on stumps
A timber floor over open air has almost no mass and nothing below it. Adding mass and closing the underfloor does more than anything applied inside the room.
- Apartments built light and fast
The same separating detail repeated across a development. Worth solving on the drawing rather than after settlement.
- A long sea leg
One of the longer routes we run. Ordering to a real schedule matters, so we quote the full window rather than the port date.
- School and campus buildings
School buildings run hard floors and high ceilings, and open plan learning areas make speech intelligibility the central problem rather than echo.
- The studio and content scene
Home and project studios go into garages and converted rooms in detached housing, where the neighbour distance helps but the room does not.
For a Brisbane practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
04 / Durability
The Brisbane climate decides the material list
Brisbane is hot summers, mild winters and a distinct wet season, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
PET felt handles the wet months without absorbing moisture or feeding mould. Timber and wood wool want a ventilated cavity and a stable indoor RH.
The risk we design against here is wet-season humidity behind linings.
Designers get colour, pattern and CNC options with the absorption figure attached to each. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Route to site
Getting it to Brisbane, with real dates
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Port of Brisbane, then a short road run to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Port of Brisbane |
| 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 from India is long, so plan the full door to door window into the programme. We give real dates, not optimistic ones.
Sea freight into the Port of Brisbane, then a short road run to site. Air freight for samples and 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.
06 / Worth knowing
Where this goes wrong, said plainly
-
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.
-
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.
-
Local approvals that nobody actually holds
We hold no Brisbane certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.

How it looks once it is installed
Brisbane: questions we are actually asked
Are these acoustic panels made in Brisbane?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Brisbane as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into the Port of Brisbane. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What changes the specification on a Brisbane job?
A timber floor over open air has almost no mass and nothing below it. Adding mass and closing the underfloor does more than anything applied inside the room. PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which matters through a humid summer where mineral products sag. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Will this material last in the Brisbane climate?
Brisbane is hot summers, mild winters and a distinct wet season. PET felt handles the wet months without absorbing moisture or feeding mould. Timber and wood wool want a ventilated cavity and a stable indoor RH. The failure we design against here is wet-season humidity behind linings.
When would material land on a Brisbane site?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Port of Brisbane, then a short road run to site, dispatch: 4 to 7 working days. Standard items dispatch in 4 to 7 working days. The sea leg from India is long, so plan the full door to door window into the programme. We give real dates, not optimistic ones.
When are acoustic panels the wrong purchase?
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 quantity do we have to order, and in what packaging?
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.

Drawings in, BOQ and a delivered date out
A plan and a section is enough. We will come back with a build-up, a BOQ and a delivered date, and we will say so if what you are asking for will not work.
