Manufactured in India, supplied in Hong Kong
Acoustic panels in Hong Kong
We manufacture acoustic panels at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Hong Kong. Made at our own plant in India and shipped straight into Hong Kong, so the container lands where it is needed rather than a road leg away.
- 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 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 / The material
What this is, and what it changes in a Hong Kong 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 Hong Kong is mostly apartments, offices, hotels and dining, clinics, schools, studios.
Very dense reinforced concrete towers with hard floors and minimal separation between units. Impact and airborne noise between flats is constant.
- 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 Hong Kong.

02 / Specification sheet
The numbers, and they do not move by city
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. General commercial
- EchoPro 181800 GSM. Rooms with a written RT target
- EchoMax 222200 GSM. High occupancy and high level spaces

If a consultant has set the target, we will quote against their figures rather than ours, and stay out of the scope they own. More on working with acoustic consultants.
03 / What drives the brief
The Hong Kong conditions that change the answer
- Depth is the expensive part
Every millimetre a wall grows into the room is paid for at Hong Kong rates. A dense thin membrane usually beats a thicker framed build-up here on total cost.
- Concrete towers, live rooms
The structure blocks a great deal already. The problem is hard interiors and impact through slabs rather than airborne transfer.
- Plant on every roof and podium
Cooling plant sits within metres of windows in a dense city, so plant noise reaches more people than any single source.
- The port is right here
Direct sea into Hong Kong keeps the chain short and the landed cost predictable.
- School and campus buildings
School buildings are compact and hard surfaced with very intensive use and no spare volume.
- The studio and content scene
Studios go into industrial buildings where the neighbouring tenancy and the building plant decide what is achievable.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Conditions
Durability in Hong Kong, before acoustics is discussed
Hong Kong 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.
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
How material reaches a Hong Kong site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Hong Kong, then a short road run to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea into Hong Kong |
| 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 direct into Hong Kong, then a short road run to site. 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 / Read this first
Where this goes wrong, said plainly
-
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.
-
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.
-
Local approvals that nobody actually holds
We hold no Hong Kong certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.

In finished rooms
Hong Kong: questions we are actually asked
Where are the acoustic panels you supply to Hong Kong actually made?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Hong Kong as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped straight into Hong Kong, so the container lands where it is needed rather than a road leg away. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What decides the specification for a Hong Kong project?
Every millimetre a wall grows into the room is paid for at Hong Kong rates. A dense thin membrane usually beats a thicker framed build-up here on total cost. The structure blocks a great deal already. The problem is hard interiors and impact through slabs rather than airborne transfer. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Hong Kong climate affect this product?
Hong Kong 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.
What is the delivery time into Hong Kong?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Hong Kong, then a short road run to site, 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.
