- 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 material
What this material is and where it earns its place in Georgia
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 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.
- 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 Georgia.
02 / Specification
The published figures, unchanged by location
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. 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 / In this market
What decides the build-up in Georgia
- 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.
If you are specifying for a Georgia project, we can give you a section, a BOQ and the honest limits of each layer. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate and durability
Why the climate in Georgia changes the material, not the target
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.
Interior designers tend to arrive with the look already decided. We will tell you which finish gets there without losing the acoustics. 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, 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 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, 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.
06 / Worth knowing
The things worth knowing before you place the order
-
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.
-
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 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.
Georgia: questions we are actually asked
Where are the PET felt acoustic panels you supply to Georgia actually made?
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.
Will this material last in the Georgia climate?
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 quickly can material reach a site in 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 will PET felt acoustic panels not do?
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.
How is the order packed and what is the minimum?
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.

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.
