Manufactured in India, supplied in Bulgaria
Ceiling baffles and clouds in Bulgaria
We manufacture ceiling baffles and clouds at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Bulgaria. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Varna or Burgas on the Black Sea, then 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 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 this material is and where it earns its place in Bulgaria
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 Bulgaria is mostly coastal and ski resorts, offices and service centres, panel block housing, schools, hospitals.
Panel block housing and newer concrete construction, both with hard floors and slabs that pass impact noise.
- 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 Bulgaria.

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

Where a consultant is already engaged on a Bulgaria 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 we see driving Bulgaria briefs
- Two seasons, two deadlines
Coastal work finishes before summer and mountain work before winter. Real dates matter more than a marginally better price.
- Panel block housing
Prefabricated concrete blocks pass speech and footfall between flats through thin, well connected elements. Surface treatment does nothing.
- Service centre floors
Large rooms full of people on calls, where speech privacy rather than echo is the actual problem.
- Black Sea ports, then road
Varna and Burgas both serve the country well. We quote the sea leg and the inland leg separately.
- School and campus buildings
School buildings are hard surfaced with long corridors and gymnasiums serving as halls.
For a Bulgaria practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate
Why the climate in Bulgaria changes the material, not the target
Bulgaria is cold winters and warm summers, with a wide annual temperature range, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
A wide annual swing stresses adhesive fixings and moves timber. Mechanical fixing beats adhesive alone, and PET felt is stable across the range.
The risk we design against here is adhesive failure and timber movement across the annual swing.
Designers get colour, pattern and CNC options with the absorption figure attached to each. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Supply
What the route into Bulgaria actually looks like
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Varna or Burgas, then road inland |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Varna or Burgas |
| 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 Varna or Burgas, then 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 / Before you buy
Where this goes wrong, said plainly
-
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 Bulgaria certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.
Bulgaria: questions we are actually asked
Do you manufacture ceiling baffles and clouds in Bulgaria?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Bulgaria as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Varna or Burgas on the Black Sea, then road inland. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What changes the specification on a Bulgaria job?
Coastal work finishes before summer and mountain work before winter. Real dates matter more than a marginally better price. Prefabricated concrete blocks pass speech and footfall between flats through thin, well connected elements. Surface treatment does nothing. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Does Bulgaria weather shorten the life of this material?
Bulgaria is cold winters and warm summers, with a wide annual temperature range. A wide annual swing stresses adhesive fixings and moves timber. Mechanical fixing beats adhesive alone, and PET felt is stable across the range. The failure we design against here is adhesive failure and timber movement across the annual swing.
How quickly can material reach a site in Bulgaria?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Varna or Burgas, then 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.
When are ceiling baffles and clouds the wrong purchase?
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?
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.

Send a plan and a section, get a real build-up
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.
