Manufactured in India, supplied in Jammu
PET felt acoustic panels in Jammu
We manufacture PET felt acoustic panels at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Jammu. Jammu is a pilgrimage gateway in a high seismic zone, which changes both the hospitality brief and what the structure will accept.

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
The material, and what it actually does on a Jammu job
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 Jammu is mostly hotels and guest houses, assembly halls, institutional buildings, hospitals, schools, offices.
Brick and RC construction with timber detailing and hard floors, built for cold winters with thick external walls.
- 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 Jammu.
02 / Specification sheet
Published specification, identical wherever we ship it
Nothing below changes by location. The decisions that do change are grade, thickness and how the material is mounted, and those are covered further down.
- 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

If a consultant has set the target, we will quote against their figures rather than ours, and stay out of the scope they own. More on working with acoustic consultants.
03 / In this market
The Jammu conditions that change the answer
- Seismic detailing comes first
Buildings here are designed to move. Movement joints have to stay free, so a build-up must not stiffen across them.
- Continuous guest turnover
Rooms occupied around the clock in season. Corridor and door detailing carries the guest experience.
- Hill roads on the last leg
The final stretch is steep and rough. We brace and wrap for that rather than for a smooth dock transfer.
- Two days by road
A dedicated truck from Palwal, confirmed before dispatch, with samples sent ahead.
- School and campus buildings
Classrooms are concrete and tile with bare walls and high ceilings, and class sizes push levels up. Corridors act as reverberation chambers that feed every room off them.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate and durability
The Jammu climate decides the material list
Jammu 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.
Interior designers tend to arrive with the look already decided. We will tell you which finish gets there without losing the acoustics. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Logistics
What the route into Jammu actually looks like
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | two days |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | two days |
| 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 2 to 4 working days from our plant at Palwal. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
By road from Palwal, roughly six hundred kilometres, normally two days on a dedicated truck. The final hill leg is planned into the schedule.
From 10 panels for 9 mm EchoCore 15. Other grades and thicknesses carry their own minimum.
| 9 mm EchoCore 15, 1500 GSM | 10 panels, 320 sq ft |
|---|---|
| 9 mm EchoPro 18, 1800 GSM | 50 panels, 1,600 sq ft |
| 9 mm EchoMax 22, 2200 GSM | 100 panels, 3,200 sq ft |
| 12 mm, 2400 GSM | 30 panels, 960 sq ft |
| 18 mm, 3000 GSM | 50 panels, 1,600 sq ft |
| 24 mm, 3600 GSM | 50 panels, 1,600 sq ft |
A panel is 1220 x 2440 mm, which is 32 sq ft.
06 / Before you buy
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.
-
A claim of being local to Jammu
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.
Jammu: questions we are actually asked
Do you manufacture PET felt acoustic panels in Jammu?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Jammu as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Jammu is a pilgrimage gateway in a high seismic zone, which changes both the hospitality brief and what the structure will accept. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What do you look at first on a Jammu enquiry?
Buildings here are designed to move. Movement joints have to stay free, so a build-up must not stiffen across them. Rooms occupied around the clock in season. Corridor and door detailing carries the guest experience. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Is this the right material for Jammu conditions?
Jammu 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.
What is the delivery time into Jammu?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: two days, dispatch: 2 to 4 working days. Standard items dispatch in 2 to 4 working days from our plant at Palwal. 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.
What is the minimum order and how is it packed?
From 10 panels for 9 mm EchoCore 15. Other grades and thicknesses carry their own minimum. 9 mm EchoCore 15, 1500 GSM, 10 panels, 320 sq ft. 9 mm EchoPro 18, 1800 GSM, 50 panels, 1,600 sq ft. 9 mm EchoMax 22, 2200 GSM, 100 panels, 3,200 sq ft. 12 mm, 2400 GSM, 30 panels, 960 sq ft. 18 mm, 3000 GSM, 50 panels, 1,600 sq ft. 24 mm, 3600 GSM, 50 panels, 1,600 sq ft.
