Manufactured in India, supplied in Kozhikode
Ceiling baffles and clouds in Kozhikode
We manufacture ceiling baffles and clouds at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Kozhikode. Kozhikode is coastal, humid and building steadily, and humidity is the first thing that decides which acoustic material is worth installing here.
- 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 / The product
What this is, and what it changes in a Kozhikode room
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 Kozhikode is mostly houses and apartments, hospitals, schools and colleges, auditoriums, hotels, offices.
Independent houses with high ceilings, tile floors and open plan layouts built for heat and very heavy monsoon, which rules out anything that absorbs moisture.
- 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 Kozhikode.

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

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 / Local conditions
What decides the build-up in Kozhikode
- Humidity beats everything else
PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould. In a monsoon climate that decides whether a ceiling is still good in five years.
- Large private houses
A lot of residential work here is generous in size and finished carefully, with dedicated rooms for music or cinema.
- Hospitals and colleges
Institutional buildings in concrete and tile, with consult rooms that need privacy and lecture rooms that need intelligibility.
- Five to six days by road
A long run, so we confirm the schedule before dispatch and send samples ahead of the order.
- School and campus buildings
Schools and colleges are naturally ventilated with open corridors, so absorption alone will not fix intelligibility.
If you are specifying for a Kozhikode project, we can give you a section, a BOQ and the honest limits of each layer. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate and durability
What the Kozhikode climate rules in and rules out
Kozhikode 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.
Designers get colour, pattern and CNC options with the absorption figure attached to each. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Supply
How material reaches a Kozhikode site
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | five to six days |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | five to six days |
| 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 two thousand five hundred kilometres, normally five to six days on a dedicated truck.
500 sq ft, about 46 sq m, across baffles and clouds together.

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
The things worth knowing before you place the order
-
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.
-
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.

Suppliers who imply a Kozhikode 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.
Kozhikode: questions we are actually asked
Is there a Kozhikode 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 Kozhikode as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Kozhikode is coastal, humid and building steadily, and humidity is the first thing that decides which acoustic material is worth installing here. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What changes the specification on a Kozhikode job?
PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould. In a monsoon climate that decides whether a ceiling is still good in five years. A lot of residential work here is generous in size and finished carefully, with dedicated rooms for music or cinema. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Will this material last in the Kozhikode climate?
Kozhikode 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.
How quickly can material reach a site in Kozhikode?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: five to six 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 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.
Next step
Tell us the room, we will tell you the build-up
We quote from drawings, not from a square foot rate. Send a plan and the section through the critical wall or ceiling and you will get something you can actually build from.
