Manufactured in India, supplied in Hong Kong
Ceiling baffles and clouds in Hong Kong
We manufacture ceiling baffles and clouds 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.
- Material
- 100% PET non-woven, the panel family
- Thickness
- 9 to 24 mm
- Size
- Made to the drawing, standard and custom
- Exposure
- 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
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 / Start here
What this is, and what it changes in a Hong Kong 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 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.
- 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 Hong Kong.

02 / Specification sheet
One specification sheet, the same in every market
These figures are published and they do not move. The thing worth arguing about is not the number on the sheet, it is which grade and which build-up suits the room you are treating.
- EchoCore 151500 GSM. Offices, retail, general
- EchoPro 181800 GSM. Halls, atria, spaces with a target
- EchoMax 222200 GSM. High volume and high occupancy

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 we see driving Hong Kong briefs
- 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.
For a Hong Kong practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
04 / Durability
Why the climate in Hong Kong changes the material, not the target
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.
For a Hong Kong interior where the finish leads, we will say plainly what each option costs you acoustically. 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 | 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 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.
The same 500 sq ft minimum applies on export.
| 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.

Where this goes wrong, said plainly
-
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.
-
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 Hong Kong 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.
Hong Kong: questions we are actually asked
Is there a Hong Kong 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 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 changes the specification on a Hong Kong job?
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.
Does Hong Kong weather shorten the life of this material?
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.
How quickly can material reach a site in 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.
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.
Is there a minimum order, and how does it arrive?
The same 500 sq ft minimum applies on export. 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.
