Manufactured in India, supplied in Goa

Manufacturer, not reseller. We hold no local approvals and will not imply we do. You get the price the factory quotes, material that matches across a large order, and advice that sometimes talks you out of a purchase.
01 / The product
What this material is and where it earns its place in Goa
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 Goa is mostly resorts and hotels, beach clubs and restaurants, villas, guest rooms, clinics, offices.
Villas, apartments and older Portuguese era houses with tile and stone floors, in a humid coastal climate with heavy monsoon.
- 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 Goa.
02 / Specification sheet
One specification sheet, the same in every market
Nothing below changes by location. The decisions that do change are grade, thickness and how the material is mounted, and those are covered further down.
- 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

03 / In this market
What we see driving Goa briefs
- Loud inside, quiet at the boundary
A club or beach venue has to hold its energy and keep it off the neighbours after hours. That is containment, and it decides whether the operation keeps trading.
- Guest rooms fail at the door
Corridor noise and the room next door generate more complaints than the room acoustics ever do. Door and wall detailing does that work.
- Salt air and heavy monsoon
PET felt does not absorb moisture, rot or feed mould, which matters where mineral products sag within a single season here.
- Season dates are fixed
The season does not move. We give real dispatch and transit dates so a fit-out is not waiting on a truck.
- 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.
Architects working in Goa 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 and durability
The Goa climate decides the material list
Goa 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 / Route to site
Getting it to Goa, with real dates
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | three to four days |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | three to four days |
| 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 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 sixteen hundred kilometres, normally three to four days 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
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.
-
A claim of being local to Goa
We manufacture in India and supply here. We do not run an office in this city and we will not pretend to, because you would find out on the first site visit.
Goa: questions we are actually asked
Is there a Goa 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 Goa as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Goa is hospitality, coastal damp and a licensing conversation about how loud a venue can be after dark. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What decides the specification for a Goa project?
A club or beach venue has to hold its energy and keep it off the neighbours after hours. That is containment, and it decides whether the operation keeps trading. Corridor noise and the room next door generate more complaints than the room acoustics ever do. Door and wall detailing does that work. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Does Goa weather shorten the life of this material?
Goa 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 Goa site?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: three to four 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.
When are PET felt acoustic panels the wrong purchase?
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.
What quantity do we have to order, and in what packaging?
From 10 panels for 9 mm EchoCore 15.
