Manufactured in India, supplied in Jakarta
PET felt acoustic panels in Jakarta
We manufacture PET felt acoustic panels at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Jakarta. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Tanjung Priok, inside the city, so the road leg to site is short.

01 / Start here
The product, described honestly, for a Jakarta brief
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 Jakarta is mostly towers and offices, apartments, hotels, hospitals, schools, studios.
Concrete frame with block infill in cities, timber and light construction outside them. Apartment stock shares walls and slabs that were never detailed for two households.
- 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 Jakarta.
02 / Specification
The numbers, and they do not move by city
We publish one data sheet for every market. If a supplier quotes you a different figure for the same product in a different city, one of the two numbers is wrong.
- 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

Where a consultant is already engaged on a Jakarta project, we supply to their specification and send the test reports rather than describing them. More on working with acoustic consultants.
03 / In this market
What the buildings in Jakarta do to the specification
- Concrete towers, live interiors
The structure blocks well. The problem is tile, glass and stone inside making the room ring.
- Noise arrives from outside
Traffic and construction reach rooms through glazing and openings long before they come through a wall. Fix the weakest path first.
- Standby generation
Power backup sits close to occupied space in most commercial buildings and runs often enough to matter.
- The port is in the city
Tanjung Priok is close, which keeps the road leg short and the landed cost predictable.
- School and campus buildings
Classrooms are hard, naturally ventilated and open to corridor and street noise, so absorption alone will not fix intelligibility.
For a Jakarta practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate
What the Jakarta climate rules in and rules out
Jakarta is warm and humid through most of the year, with a long wet season, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
Humidity is the deciding factor. PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which is why it outlasts fabric-wrapped mineral wool in this climate. Wood wool and timber need a ventilated cavity behind them.
The risk we design against here is mould, sagging fabric finishes and swelling in timber.
For a Jakarta interior where the finish leads, we will say plainly what each option costs you acoustically. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Supply
Getting it to Jakarta, with real dates
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Tanjung Priok, then a short road run into the city |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Tanjung Priok |
| 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 Tanjung Priok, then a short road run into the city. 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.
06 / Worth knowing
Where this goes wrong, said plainly
-
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.
-
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 Jakarta certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.
Jakarta: questions we are actually asked
Is there a Jakarta 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 Jakarta as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Tanjung Priok, inside the city, so the road leg to site is short. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What changes the specification on a Jakarta job?
Traffic and construction reach rooms through glazing and openings long before they come through a wall. Fix the weakest path first. The structure blocks well. The problem is tile, glass and stone inside making the room ring. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Will this material last in the Jakarta climate?
Jakarta is warm and humid through most of the year, with a long wet season. Humidity is the deciding factor. PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which is why it outlasts fabric-wrapped mineral wool in this climate. Wood wool and timber need a ventilated cavity behind them. The failure we design against here is mould, sagging fabric finishes and swelling in timber.
What is the delivery time into Jakarta?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Tanjung Priok, then a short road run into the city, 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 PET felt acoustic panels not do?
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.
What is the minimum order and how is it packed?
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.
