Manufactured in India, supplied in Kozhikode
PET felt acoustic panels in Kozhikode
We manufacture PET felt acoustic panels 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.

Manufacturer, not reseller. We hold no local approvals and will not imply we do. You get the price the factory quotes, material that matches across a large order, and advice that sometimes talks you out of a purchase.
01 / What it is
The product, described honestly, for a Kozhikode 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 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.
- 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 Kozhikode.
02 / Data sheet
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

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
What the buildings in Kozhikode do to the specification
- 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 / Durability
Why the climate in Kozhikode changes the material, not the target
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.
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
Getting it to Kozhikode, with real dates
| 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 | 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 two thousand five hundred kilometres, normally five to six days on a dedicated truck.
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 |

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.
-
Local approvals that nobody actually holds
We hold no Kozhikode certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.
Kozhikode: questions we are actually asked
Do you manufacture PET felt acoustic panels in Kozhikode?
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 decides the specification for a Kozhikode project?
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.
How does the Kozhikode climate affect this product?
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.
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?
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.
