Manufactured in India, supplied in Diu
Ceiling baffles and clouds in Diu
We manufacture ceiling baffles and clouds at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Diu. Diu is a small coastal tourism market where salt air and a fixed season decide almost everything.
- Material

- 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 make this ourselves and ship it to you. No local branch, no borrowed certifications, no dealer margin. One batch across the whole order, and an honest answer when the product is wrong for the problem.
01 / Start here
What this is, and what it changes in a Diu room
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 Diu is mostly hotels and guest houses, restaurants and bars, heritage properties, offices, clinics.
RC frame housing and worker accommodation with hard floors, close to industrial estates.
- 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 Diu.

02 / Specification sheet
The numbers, and they do not move by city
These figures are published and they do not move. The thing worth arguing about is not the number on the sheet, it is which grade and which build-up suits the room you are treating.
- EchoCore 151500 GSM. Offices, retail, general
- EchoPro 181800 GSM. Halls, atria, spaces with a target
- EchoMax 222200 GSM. High volume and high occupancy

On a Diu job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.
03 / Local conditions
What the buildings in Diu do to the specification
- Salt air is relentless
PET felt does not absorb moisture, rot or corrode. On an exposed coast that is the whole material selection argument.
- Season dates are fixed
Work has to finish before the season opens. Real dispatch and transit dates matter more than a marginally better price.
- Heritage stone buildings
Thick masonry with hard finishes that hold sound for a long time, and a structure that usually cannot be altered.
- Sensible quantities
A small market does not need a full container. We would rather quote a part load that works.
- School and campus buildings
Classrooms are concrete and tile with bare walls and high ceilings, and class sizes push levels up. Corridors act as reverberation chambers that feed every room off them.
If you are specifying for a Diu project, we can give you a section, a BOQ and the honest limits of each layer. See how we support architects.
04 / Durability
Why the climate in Diu changes the material, not the target
Diu 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.
For a Diu interior where the finish leads, we will say plainly what each option costs you acoustically. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Route to site
Getting it to Diu, with real dates
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | three days |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | three days |
| 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 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 twelve hundred and fifty kilometres, normally three days on a dedicated truck.
500 sq ft, about 46 sq m, across baffles and clouds together.

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
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.
-
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 Diu 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.
Diu: questions we are actually asked
Are these ceiling baffles and clouds made in Diu?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Diu as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Diu is a small coastal tourism market where salt air and a fixed season decide almost everything. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What decides the specification for a Diu project?
PET felt does not absorb moisture, rot or corrode. On an exposed coast that is the whole material selection argument. Work has to finish before the season opens. Real dispatch and transit dates matter more than a marginally better price. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Diu climate affect this product?
Diu 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 Diu site?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: three days, 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.
Where do ceiling baffles and clouds fail to help?
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 is the minimum order and how is it packed?
500 sq ft, about 46 sq m, across baffles and clouds together. 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.

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.
