01 / Start here
The product, described honestly, for a Cambodia brief
A rigid non-woven panel pressed from 100% polyester fibre, a large part of it recycled. It absorbs mid and high frequency energy and finishes as the visible surface, so it is both the acoustic layer and the finish.
Work reaching us from Cambodia is mostly garment and manufacturing units, hotels, offices, schools, hospitals, restaurants.
Concrete frame with block infill, shophouses and new condominium towers, all with hard floors and shared walls.
- Direct to wall Panel bonded or mechanically fixed flat to the substrate. Simplest, and the weakest at low frequency.
- On a 25 to 50 mm air gap The same panel on battens. The air gap moves absorption down in frequency at no extra material cost, and is the cheapest improvement available.
- Over a porous backing Panel over mineral or PET backing where the room needs genuine low mid control.
- What it will not do It absorbs. It does not block.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for PET felt panels are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Cambodia.
02 / Specification
Published specification, identical wherever we ship it
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. Offices, classrooms, general commercial
- EchoPro 181800 GSM. Studios, auditoria, rooms with a written RT target
- EchoMax 222200 GSM. High occupancy and high level spaces

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 / On the ground
The Cambodia conditions that change the answer
- Tropical humidity
PET felt does not hold moisture or feed mould, which decides whether a ceiling survives more than a couple of seasons.
- Generators are part of the building
Standby generation runs often enough to be a permanent condition and sits close to occupied space. Enclosure at the source is the only real fix.
- Garment floors at scale
Large production halls with continuous machine noise and rooms where instructions and alarms must be understood.
- Hospitality in heritage towns
Hotel work where guest room isolation and function room acoustics are the recurring briefs.
- School and campus buildings
Classrooms are hard and naturally ventilated, open to street and corridor noise.
Architects working in Cambodia 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 / Climate
Why the climate in Cambodia changes the material, not the target
Cambodia 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.
Designers get colour, pattern and CNC options with the absorption figure attached to each. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Logistics
Supply into Cambodia, start to site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Sihanoukville, then road to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Sihanoukville |
| Packing | Palletised flat and film wrapped, cut sheets interleaved. Packing list and weights issued with the quote. |
| Lead time | 4 to 7 working days for standard colours and thicknesses. Grooved and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order. |
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 Sihanoukville, then road 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, because the price per panel and the freight per panel both fall sharply and a part load pays for space it does not use.
| Trial order | 200 panels, 6,400 sq ft, mixed thickness, GSM and colour |
|---|---|
| Recommended | Full container, for the best price per panel and the lowest freight per panel |
A panel is 1220 x 2440 mm, which is 32 sq ft.

What we will tell you that a reseller will not
-
The wrong product for the problem
It absorbs. It does not block. A PET panel on a shared wall will make the room sound better and will not stop the neighbour being heard. If the brief is stopping noise passing through a wall or floor, the answer is mass and decoupling, and we will say so before quoting.
-
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 Cambodia certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.
Cambodia: questions we are actually asked
Where are the PET felt acoustic panels you supply to Cambodia actually made?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Cambodia as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Sihanoukville, then road to Phnom Penh or Siem Reap. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What changes the specification on a Cambodia job?
Standby generation runs often enough to be a permanent condition and sits close to occupied space. Enclosure at the source is the only real fix. Large production halls with continuous machine noise and rooms where instructions and alarms must be understood. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Will this material last in the Cambodia climate?
Cambodia 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.
When would material land on a Cambodia site?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Sihanoukville, 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.
Where do PET felt acoustic panels fail to help?
It absorbs. It does not block. A PET panel on a shared wall will make the room sound better and will not stop the neighbour being heard. If the brief is stopping noise passing through a wall or floor, the answer is mass and decoupling, and we will say so before quoting.
Is there a minimum order, and how does it arrive?
200 panels for a trial order, in any mix of thickness, GSM and colour. Beyond a trial we would rather quote a container load, because the price per panel and the freight per panel both fall sharply and a part load pays for space it does not use. Trial order, 200 panels, 6,400 sq ft, mixed thickness, GSM and colour. Recommended, Full container, for the best price per panel and the lowest freight per panel. A panel is 1220 x 2440 mm, which is 32 sq ft. Palletised flat and film wrapped, cut sheets interleaved. Packing list and weights issued with the quote.
