Acoustic panels in Chandigarh
We manufacture acoustic panels at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Chandigarh. Chandigarh was built in exposed concrete on purpose, and exposed concrete reflects almost everything that hits it.
- 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 / What it is
The material, and what it actually does on a Chandigarh job
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 Chandigarh is mostly institutional and government buildings, colleges, offices, auditoriums, clinics, hotels.
Planned sector housing in RC frame with stone and tile floors, in low rise blocks that share walls between units.
- 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 Chandigarh.

02 / Specification
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
| Plain PET felt | 9 to 24 mm, 1220 x 2440 mm standard, up to 2440 x 4270 mm, 1200 to 3600 GSM |

Where a consultant is already engaged on a Chandigarh 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 we see driving Chandigarh briefs
- Concrete is the finish
Exposed board-marked concrete cannot be covered without losing the building. Absorption has to go on the ceiling plane or high on the wall, discreetly.
- Generous volumes
Rooms here are larger and taller than equivalents elsewhere, which lengthens reverberation and defeats speech.
- Planned, low rise, quiet outside
External noise is rarely the issue. What comes to us is the room itself and noise between rooms.
- Next day from the plant
A few hours by road, so samples and replacements are straightforward.
- School and campus buildings
Well established school and university campuses with lecture halls, libraries and hostels in concrete and tile.
- The studio and content scene
Studios go into basements, terrace rooms and back rooms with neighbours on every side and a generator somewhere in the lane. Isolating from the building has to come before treating the room.
Architects working in Chandigarh 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 / Durability
The Chandigarh climate decides the material list
Chandigarh 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 / Supply
What the route into Chandigarh actually looks like
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | a day |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | a day |
| 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 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 three hundred kilometres, normally next day on a dedicated truck.
From 10 panels for 9 mm EchoCore 15. Other grades and thicknesses carry their own minimum.
| 9 mm EchoCore 15, 1500 GSM | 10 panels, 320 sq ft |
|---|---|
| 9 mm EchoPro 18, 1800 GSM | 50 panels, 1,600 sq ft |
| 9 mm EchoMax 22, 2200 GSM | 100 panels, 3,200 sq ft |
| 12 mm, 2400 GSM | 30 panels, 960 sq ft |
| 18 mm, 3000 GSM | 50 panels, 1,600 sq ft |
| 24 mm, 3600 GSM | 50 panels, 1,600 sq ft |
A panel is 1220 x 2440 mm, which is 32 sq ft.
06 / Before you buy
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.

Suppliers who imply a Chandigarh presence
Ask any supplier where the material is made and who carries the warranty. We make it at Palwal in Haryana and we say so on every page, including this one.

The material in real interiors
Chandigarh: questions we are actually asked
Is there a Chandigarh factory behind this product?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Chandigarh as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Chandigarh was built in exposed concrete on purpose, and exposed concrete reflects almost everything that hits it. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What changes the specification on a Chandigarh job?
Exposed board-marked concrete cannot be covered without losing the building. Absorption has to go on the ceiling plane or high on the wall, discreetly. Rooms here are larger and taller than equivalents elsewhere, which lengthens reverberation and defeats speech. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Does Chandigarh weather shorten the life of this material?
Chandigarh 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.
How quickly can material reach a site in Chandigarh?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: a day, 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 acoustic panels not do?
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?
From 10 panels for 9 mm EchoCore 15. Other grades and thicknesses carry their own minimum. 9 mm EchoCore 15, 1500 GSM, 10 panels, 320 sq ft. 9 mm EchoPro 18, 1800 GSM, 50 panels, 1,600 sq ft. 9 mm EchoMax 22, 2200 GSM, 100 panels, 3,200 sq ft. 12 mm, 2400 GSM, 30 panels, 960 sq ft. 18 mm, 3000 GSM, 50 panels, 1,600 sq ft. 24 mm, 3600 GSM, 50 panels, 1,600 sq ft. A panel is 1220 x 2440 mm, which is 32 sq ft. Palletised flat and film wrapped. Printed panels interleaved and corner protected.

We quote from drawings, not from a square foot rate. Send a plan and the section through the critical wall or ceiling and you will get something you can actually build from.
