Manufactured in India, supplied in Guwahati
Ceiling baffles and clouds in Guwahati
We manufacture ceiling baffles and clouds at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Guwahati. Guwahati is the gateway to the Northeast, so a good share of what we send here continues onward to sites across the region.
- Material
- 100% PET non-woven, the panel family

- 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
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 is, and what it changes in a Guwahati 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 Guwahati is mostly hotels, hospitals, colleges, government buildings, offices, auditoriums, houses.
RC frame and timber construction with hard floors, built for very heavy rainfall and high humidity year round.
- 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 Guwahati.

02 / Specification
The numbers, and they do not move by city
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. Offices, retail, general
- EchoPro 181800 GSM. Halls, atria, spaces with a target
- EchoMax 222200 GSM. High volume and high occupancy

On a Guwahati job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.
03 / In this market
What we see driving Guwahati briefs
- High humidity most of the year
PET felt does not hold moisture or feed mould, which matters where mineral products sag within a couple of seasons.
- Seismic detailing comes first
Buildings here are designed to move. Movement joints have to stay free, so the build-up must respect the structure rather than bridge it rigidly.
- A gateway, not just a destination
Material often continues into the Northeast on rougher roads. We brace and wrap for that second leg when you tell us it is happening.
- Four days by road
A long run, confirmed before dispatch, with samples sent ahead of the order.
- School and campus buildings
Schools and colleges are naturally ventilated with open corridors and large class sizes.
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 Guwahati, before acoustics is discussed
Guwahati 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.
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 / Route to site
Getting it to Guwahati, with real dates
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | four days |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | four 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 nineteen hundred kilometres, normally four 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 / Before you buy
Four honest warnings before you buy
-
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.
-
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.
-
Local approvals that nobody actually holds
We hold no Guwahati certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.
Guwahati: questions we are actually asked
Is there a Guwahati 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 Guwahati as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Guwahati is the gateway to the Northeast, so a good share of what we send here continues onward to sites across the region. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What decides the specification for a Guwahati project?
Buildings here are designed to move. Movement joints have to stay free, so the build-up must respect the structure rather than bridge it rigidly. Material often continues into the Northeast on rougher roads. We brace and wrap for that second leg when you tell us it is happening. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Does Guwahati weather shorten the life of this material?
Guwahati 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.
How quickly can material reach a site in Guwahati?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: 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 ceiling baffles and clouds the wrong purchase?
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 quantity do we have to order, and in what packaging?
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.
