Manufactured in India, supplied in Georgia
Acoustic panels in Georgia
We manufacture acoustic panels at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Georgia. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Poti or Batumi on the Black Sea, then a short road run inland.
- 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 / The product
What this is, and what it changes in a Georgia room
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 Georgia is mostly coastal hotels, Tbilisi restoration and conversions, offices, restaurants, schools, clinics.
Soviet era blocks and older masonry buildings with timber floors, plus new concrete towers with hard finishes.
- 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 Georgia.

02 / Specification
Published specification, identical wherever we ship it
The specification below is the same everywhere we supply, because a specification that changed by city would not be a specification. What changes is which grade and build-up is the right buy, and that is what the rest of this page is about.
- 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 Georgia 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 Georgia do to the specification
- Two markets, two answers
New coastal hotels are built and can be designed properly. Tbilisi conversions keep the original structure and need shallow internal work.
- Soviet era panel housing
Prefabricated blocks pass speech and footfall between flats through thin connected elements. Mass and decoupling, not surface treatment.
- Seismic detailing
Movement joints have to stay free, so an acoustic layer must not stiffen across them.
- Black Sea ports are close to the market
Poti and Batumi are both a short run from the main centres, which keeps the inland cost low.
- School and campus buildings
School buildings are hard surfaced with long corridors and halls that carry assembly and sport.
- The studio and content scene
A growing film and music sector using converted buildings with good mass and hard surfaces.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate and durability
Durability in Georgia, before acoustics is discussed
Georgia is mild summers and cold, wet winters, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
Cold external walls and long heating seasons make condensation behind a lining the thing to design out. PET felt is unaffected by damp air.
The risk we design against here is condensation and cold bridging behind new linings.
If the visual is fixed and the room still has to perform, that is a solvable problem and a conversation worth having early. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Getting it there
Supply into Georgia, start to site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Poti or Batumi, then road inland |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Poti or Batumi |
| 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. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
Sea freight into Poti or Batumi, then road inland. 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 / Before you buy
What we will tell you that a reseller will not
-
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.
-
Square footage quoted before the room is understood
Anyone can price a wall. Working out how much material the room actually needs usually reduces the order, which is why not everyone does it.

Suppliers who imply a Georgia 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.
07 / In projects
The material in real interiors
Georgia: questions we are actually asked
Do you manufacture acoustic panels in Georgia?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Georgia as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Poti or Batumi on the Black Sea, then a short road run inland. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
Why would a Georgia build-up differ from anywhere else?
New coastal hotels are built and can be designed properly. Tbilisi conversions keep the original structure and need shallow internal work. Prefabricated blocks pass speech and footfall between flats through thin connected elements. Mass and decoupling, not surface treatment. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Georgia climate affect this product?
Georgia is mild summers and cold, wet winters. Cold external walls and long heating seasons make condensation behind a lining the thing to design out. PET felt is unaffected by damp air. The failure we design against here is condensation and cold bridging behind new linings.
How does an order actually travel to Georgia?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Poti or Batumi, 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.
What should you not buy acoustic panels for?
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.
