Manufactured in India, supplied in Kanpur
Ceiling baffles and clouds in Kanpur
We manufacture ceiling baffles and clouds at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Kanpur. Kanpur is an old industrial city, and a lot of what we supply goes into working units rather than interiors.
- Material
- 100% PET non-woven, the panel family
- Thickness
- 9 to 24 mm
- Size
- Made to the drawing, standard and custom
- Exposure
- Both faces work, which is why suspended area outperforms the same area laid flat
- Test standard
- ASTM C423
- Lead time
- Confirmed against the drawing
- Minimum order
- 500 sq ft, about 46 sq m
- ASTM C423
- Made at our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, India
- 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 Kanpur 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 Kanpur is mostly leather and textile units, engineering workshops, offices, colleges, hospitals, banquet halls.
Independent houses and builder flats in brick and RC frame, often built floor by floor for different households, so the slab between them was never detailed as a separation.
- 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 Kanpur.

02 / Data sheet
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, retail, general
- EchoPro 181800 GSM. Halls, atria, spaces with a target
- EchoMax 222200 GSM. High volume and high occupancy

On a Kanpur job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.
03 / In this market
What we see driving Kanpur briefs
- Machinery, long shifts
Continuous machine noise for whole shifts. Enclosure or barrier at the machine is the honest fix, not lining the hall.
- Industry beside housing
Units sit close to homes, so noise leaving the building matters as much as noise inside it. Two different treatments.
- Older building stock
Solid masonry with high ceilings, which holds sound and offers little in the way of a cavity to work with.
- Next day from the plant
A short run, so freight stays cheap and samples reach you quickly.
- School and campus buildings
Large government and private schools in concrete and tile with very large class sizes, and long open corridors that feed every classroom off them.
For a Kanpur 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 Kanpur climate rules in and rules out
Kanpur 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.
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 / Getting it there
Supply into Kanpur, start to site
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | a day |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | a day |
| 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 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 five hundred kilometres, normally next day on a dedicated truck.

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.
06 / Before you buy
Four honest warnings before you buy
-
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.
-
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.
-
Local approvals that nobody actually holds
We hold no Kanpur certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.
Kanpur: questions we are actually asked
Do you manufacture ceiling baffles and clouds in Kanpur?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Kanpur as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Kanpur is an old industrial city, and a lot of what we supply goes into working units rather than interiors. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What changes the specification on a Kanpur job?
Continuous machine noise for whole shifts. Enclosure or barrier at the machine is the honest fix, not lining the hall. Units sit close to homes, so noise leaving the building matters as much as noise inside it. Two different treatments. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Kanpur climate affect this product?
Kanpur 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.
When would material land on a Kanpur site?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: a day, 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 ceiling baffles and clouds the wrong purchase?
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.
Is there a minimum order, and how does it arrive?
500 sq ft, about 46 sq m, across baffles and clouds together. 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.
