Manufactured in India, supplied in Jeddah

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 / The material
What this is, and what it changes in a Jeddah room
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 Jeddah is mostly hotels and hospitality, corporate offices, apartments, hospitals, schools, retail.
Villas and apartment blocks are concrete and block with hard stone or tile throughout. Mass is there, but every room is live and impact noise between floors is untreated.
- 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 Jeddah.
02 / Specification
Published specification, identical wherever we ship it
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. 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 Jeddah 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 decides the build-up in Jeddah
- Coastal humidity
PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which matters on a humid Red Sea coast where mineral products sag.
- The port is at the city
Direct sea into Jeddah keeps the road leg short and the landed cost predictable, which is unusual in this region.
- A gateway for pilgrimage hospitality
Large hotel quantities often continue inland from here. Tell us if that is happening and we stage and pack for the second leg.
- Guest rooms fail at the door
Corridor noise and the next room cause more complaints than room acoustics. Door and wall detailing is where the work is.
- School and campus buildings
New school and university buildings are large, hard and highly glazed. Lecture theatres and sports halls are the spaces that fail first, and ceiling absorption is the practical fix.
If you are specifying for a Jeddah project, we can give you a section, a BOQ and the honest limits of each layer. See how we support architects.
04 / Conditions
Durability in Jeddah, before acoustics is discussed
Jeddah is hot and dry for most of the year, with dust and high daytime surface temperatures, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
Dust is the enemy of open-cell products. PET felt does not shed, does not hold dust in the way fabric-wrapped glass wool does, and wipes down. Timber needs a stable indoor RH or it moves.
The risk we design against here is dust ingress and thermal movement in long runs.
Designers get colour, pattern and CNC options with the absorption figure attached to each. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Route to site
Supply into Jeddah, start to site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Jeddah, then a short road run or onward inland |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea into Jeddah |
| 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 direct into Jeddah, then a short road run to site or onward 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, 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
The things worth knowing before you place the order
-
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.
-
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.

Suppliers who imply a Jeddah presence
Ask any supplier where the material is made and who carries the warranty. We make it at Palwal in Haryana and we say so on every page, including this one.
Jeddah: questions we are actually asked
Where are the PET felt acoustic panels you supply to Jeddah actually made?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Jeddah as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped straight into Jeddah, so the container lands at the city rather than a long drive away. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
Why would a Jeddah build-up differ from anywhere else?
Direct sea into Jeddah keeps the road leg short and the landed cost predictable, which is unusual in this region. Large hotel quantities often continue inland from here. Tell us if that is happening and we stage and pack for the second leg. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Does Jeddah weather shorten the life of this material?
Jeddah is hot and dry for most of the year, with dust and high daytime surface temperatures. Dust is the enemy of open-cell products. PET felt does not shed, does not hold dust in the way fabric-wrapped glass wool does, and wipes down. Timber needs a stable indoor RH or it moves. The failure we design against here is dust ingress and thermal movement in long runs.
How does an order actually travel to Jeddah?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Jeddah, then a short road run or onward 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 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.
Is there a minimum order, and how does it arrive?
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.

Drawings in, BOQ and a delivered date out
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.
