01 / The product
What this material is and where it earns its place in Istanbul
A rigid non-woven panel pressed from 100% polyester fibre, a large part of it recycled. It absorbs mid and high frequency energy and finishes as the visible surface, so it is both the acoustic layer and the finish.
Work reaching us from Istanbul is mostly apartment blocks, hotels, offices and towers, restaurants, hospitals, schools.
Reinforced concrete blocks with block infill and hard floors, sharing slabs and light wells across dense neighbourhoods.
- Direct to wall Panel bonded or mechanically fixed flat to the substrate. Simplest, and the weakest at low frequency.
- On a 25 to 50 mm air gap The same panel on battens. The air gap moves absorption down in frequency at no extra material cost, and is the cheapest improvement available.
- Over a porous backing Panel over mineral or PET backing where the room needs genuine low mid control.
- What it will not do It absorbs. It does not block.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for PET felt panels are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Istanbul.
02 / Data sheet
The numbers, and they do not move by city
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, classrooms, general commercial
- EchoPro 181800 GSM. Studios, auditoria, rooms with a written RT target
- EchoMax 222200 GSM. High occupancy and high level spaces

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 / Local conditions
What we see driving Istanbul briefs
- Built to move
Seismic detailing means junctions that must stay flexible. An acoustic build-up cannot stiffen across a movement joint.
- Concrete blocks, live rooms
The structure carries mass, so the recurring problems are impact through slabs and interiors with nothing soft in them.
- A city that never goes quiet
Traffic, ferries and street life reach rooms through glazing rather than walls. Fix the facade path before the wall.
- Turkey manufactures too
Domestic supply exists, so we are worth importing where the specification, the colour consistency or the supply chain is the reason.
- School and campus buildings
Classrooms are concrete and tile with large class sizes and long hard corridors.
Architects working in Istanbul usually need the build-up before the product. We will draw the section and mark what does the work. See how we support architects.
04 / Conditions
Durability in Istanbul, before acoustics is discussed
Istanbul is hot dry summers and mild wet winters, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
The swing between a dry summer and a wet winter moves timber. PET felt is dimensionally stable across that swing; slat panels want a stable substrate and a ventilated fixing.
The risk we design against here is seasonal movement in timber and winter damp in unheated stock.
Designers get colour, pattern and CNC options with the absorption figure attached to each. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Supply
Getting it to Istanbul, with real dates
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Ambarlı or Mersin, then road to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Ambarlı |
| Packing | Palletised flat and film wrapped, cut sheets interleaved. Packing list and weights issued with the quote. |
| Lead time | 4 to 7 working days for standard colours and thicknesses. Grooved and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order. |
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 Ambarlı or Mersin, then road 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, because the price per panel and the freight per panel both fall sharply and a part load pays for space it does not use.
| Trial order | 200 panels, 6,400 sq ft, mixed thickness, GSM and colour |
|---|---|
| Recommended | Full container, for the best price per panel and the lowest freight per panel |
A panel is 1220 x 2440 mm, which is 32 sq ft.

What we will tell you that a reseller will not
-
The wrong product for the problem
It absorbs. It does not block. A PET panel on a shared wall will make the room sound better and will not stop the neighbour being heard. If the brief is stopping noise passing through a wall or floor, the answer is mass and decoupling, and we will say so before quoting.
-
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.

A claim of being local to Istanbul
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.
Istanbul: questions we are actually asked
Do you manufacture PET felt acoustic panels in Istanbul?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Istanbul as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Ambarlı or Mersin, then road to site. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What changes the specification on a Istanbul job?
Seismic detailing means junctions that must stay flexible. An acoustic build-up cannot stiffen across a movement joint. The structure carries mass, so the recurring problems are impact through slabs and interiors with nothing soft in them. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Istanbul climate affect this product?
Istanbul is hot dry summers and mild wet winters. The swing between a dry summer and a wet winter moves timber. PET felt is dimensionally stable across that swing; slat panels want a stable substrate and a ventilated fixing. The failure we design against here is seasonal movement in timber and winter damp in unheated stock.
How quickly can material reach a site in Istanbul?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Ambarlı or Mersin, 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.
When are PET felt acoustic panels the wrong purchase?
It absorbs. It does not block. A PET panel on a shared wall will make the room sound better and will not stop the neighbour being heard. If the brief is stopping noise passing through a wall or floor, the answer is mass and decoupling, and we will say so before quoting.
How is the order packed and what is the minimum?
200 panels for a trial order, in any mix of thickness, GSM and colour. Beyond a trial we would rather quote a container load, because the price per panel and the freight per panel both fall sharply and a part load pays for space it does not use. Trial order, 200 panels, 6,400 sq ft, mixed thickness, GSM and colour. Recommended, Full container, for the best price per panel and the lowest freight per panel. A panel is 1220 x 2440 mm, which is 32 sq ft. Palletised flat and film wrapped, cut sheets interleaved. Packing list and weights issued with the quote.
