Manufactured in India, supplied in Ireland
Ceiling baffles and clouds in Ireland
We manufacture ceiling baffles and clouds at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Ireland. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Dublin or Cork, with realistic transit dates given up front so a build programme is not planned around a guess.

- 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 / What it is
The product, described honestly, for a Ireland brief
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 Ireland is mostly apartment schemes, plant and industrial buildings, offices, schools, clinics, studios.
Terraced and semi-detached housing with block party walls and timber upper floors. Apartment stock is concrete with hard finishes throughout.
- 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 Ireland.

02 / Specification
Published specification, identical wherever we ship it
The specification below is the same everywhere we supply, because a specification that changed by city would not be a specification. What changes is which grade and build-up is the right buy, and that is what the rest of this page is about.
- EchoCore 151500 GSM. Offices, retail, general
- EchoPro 181800 GSM. Halls, atria, spaces with a target
- EchoMax 222200 GSM. High volume and high occupancy
| Material | 100% PET non-woven, the panel family |

On a Ireland job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.

What the buildings in Ireland do to the specification
- New build means decisions are still open
Isolation designed into the drawing costs a fraction of retrofitting it after handover. Send the sections early and we will mark where a build-up will disappoint.
- Apartment schemes at scale
The same separating wall repeated across hundreds of units. A detail that is slightly wrong is wrong everywhere, so consistency matters more than the headline figure.
- Industrial and plant noise
Process plant, generators and cooling equipment sit close to occupied space and close to neighbours. That is a mass and isolation job, not an absorption job.
- Damp, mild climate
Our PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which matters on cold external walls and in sealed rooms.
- School and campus buildings
School buildings run hard floors and lay-in ceilings with long corridors, and sports halls are the worst rooms in the building.
For a Ireland practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
04 / Conditions
What the Ireland climate rules in and rules out
Ireland 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.
If the visual is fixed and the room still has to perform, that is a solvable problem and a conversation worth having early. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Logistics
Getting it to Ireland, with real dates
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Dublin or Cork, then road to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Dublin or Cork |
| 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 into Dublin or Cork, then road 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.
-
Local approvals that nobody actually holds
We hold no Ireland certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.
Ireland: questions we are actually asked
Where are the ceiling baffles and clouds you supply to Ireland actually made?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Ireland as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Dublin or Cork, with realistic transit dates given up front so a build programme is not planned around a guess. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What do you look at first on a Ireland enquiry?
Isolation designed into the drawing costs a fraction of retrofitting it after handover. Send the sections early and we will mark where a build-up will disappoint. The same separating wall repeated across hundreds of units. A detail that is slightly wrong is wrong everywhere, so consistency matters more than the headline figure. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Will this material last in the Ireland climate?
Ireland 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 does an order actually travel to Ireland?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Dublin or Cork, then road 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 will ceiling baffles and clouds 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.
How is the order packed and what is the minimum?
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.
Next step
Tell us the room, we will tell you the build-up
A plan and a section is enough. We will come back with a build-up, a BOQ and a delivered date, and we will say so if what you are asking for will not work.
