Manufactured in India, supplied in Hungary
Acoustic panels in Hungary
We manufacture acoustic panels at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Hungary. Made at our own plant in India and routed through Koper, then rail and road inland.
- 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
This comes from our own plant, not a trading desk. We do not have an office in your city and we will not invent one. What we can give you is factory pricing, consistent material and a technical answer before you commit.
01 / Start here
What you are buying, and what it fixes in Hungary
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 Hungary is mostly automotive plants, offices and service centres, hotels, panel block housing, schools, hospitals.
Masonry blocks with timber floors in older stock and panel housing in concrete, both with hard finishes.
- 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 Hungary.

02 / Data sheet
The published figures, unchanged by location
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. General commercial
- EchoPro 181800 GSM. Rooms with a written RT target
- EchoMax 222200 GSM. High occupancy and high level spaces

Where a consultant is already engaged on a Hungary project, we supply to their specification and send the test reports rather than describing them. More on working with acoustic consultants.
03 / Local conditions
The Hungary conditions that change the answer
- Landlocked, so plan the inland leg
Koper then rail and road. We quote the sea leg and the inland leg separately so the programme runs on real dates.
- Automotive plant noise
Presses, robots and conveyors are low frequency and structure-borne. Enclosure at the source rather than absorption on a far wall.
- Panel block housing
Prefabricated concrete passes speech and footfall between flats through thin connected elements. Mass is the only reliable answer.
- Budapest conversions
Old buildings turned into offices and hotels, with tall rooms and hard plaster that hold sound far too long.
- School and campus buildings
School buildings are hard surfaced with long corridors and gymnasiums serving as halls.
- The studio and content scene
A strong film and music production sector using converted buildings with good mass and hard surfaces.
For a Hungary practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate
Why the climate in Hungary changes the material, not the target
Hungary is cool and damp, with long heating seasons and cold external walls, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
Cold wall build-ups and long heating seasons mean interstitial condensation is a real risk behind any lining. PET felt is unaffected by damp air and will not feed mould where a fabric-faced mineral product would.
The risk we design against here is condensation behind linings in older, poorly insulated stock.
For a Hungary interior where the finish leads, we will say plainly what each option costs you acoustically. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Logistics
Getting it to Hungary, with real dates
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Koper, then rail and road inland |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Koper, then rail |
| 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 into Koper, then rail and 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.
| 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.

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.
-
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.

A claim of being local to Hungary
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.

Hungary: questions we are actually asked
Where are the acoustic panels you supply to Hungary actually made?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Hungary as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and routed through Koper, then rail and road inland. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What changes the specification on a Hungary job?
Koper then rail and road. We quote the sea leg and the inland leg separately so the programme runs on real dates. Presses, robots and conveyors are low frequency and structure-borne. Enclosure at the source rather than absorption on a far wall. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Will this material last in the Hungary climate?
Hungary is cool and damp, with long heating seasons and cold external walls. Cold wall build-ups and long heating seasons mean interstitial condensation is a real risk behind any lining. PET felt is unaffected by damp air and will not feed mould where a fabric-faced mineral product would. The failure we design against here is condensation behind linings in older, poorly insulated stock.
How quickly can material reach a site in Hungary?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Koper, then rail and 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 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.
