Manufactured in India, supplied in Lisbon
Ceiling baffles and clouds in Lisbon
We manufacture ceiling baffles and clouds at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Lisbon. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Lisbon or Sines, then a short road run to site, with narrow street access planned into how we pack.
- Material

- 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
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 Lisbon 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 Lisbon is mostly hotel and short let conversions, apartments, restaurants, offices, clinics, studios.
Masonry and concrete blocks with tile and stone floors, in buildings that share walls and courtyards.
- 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 Lisbon.

02 / Specification
The published figures, unchanged by location
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, retail, general
- EchoPro 181800 GSM. Halls, atria, spaces with a target
- EchoMax 222200 GSM. High volume and high occupancy

Where a consultant is already engaged on a Lisbon project, we supply to their specification and send the test reports rather than describing them. More on working with acoustic consultants.
03 / Local conditions
What decides the build-up in Lisbon
- Conversions put beds either side of old walls
A house divided into guest rooms turns internal partitions into separating walls overnight. Doors and corridors generate more complaints than the walls themselves.
- Timber floors, every floor
Footfall from above is the single most common complaint we hear from this city. It is a floor problem, and treating the ceiling below rarely fixes it.
- Hills and narrow streets
Access decides the delivery. Tell us the street and the stairwell and we break pallets down to what will actually get to the room.
- Late districts under homes
Venues in the old districts operate directly beneath apartments. Low frequency containment is what keeps the operation trading.
- School and campus buildings
School buildings are hard surfaced with high ceilings, and canteens are the loudest rooms.
If you are specifying for a Lisbon project, we can give you a section, a BOQ and the honest limits of each layer. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate
Why the climate in Lisbon changes the material, not the target
Lisbon is hot dry summers and mild wet winters, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
The swing between a dry summer and a wet winter moves timber. PET felt is dimensionally stable across that swing; slat panels want a stable substrate and a ventilated fixing.
The risk we design against here is seasonal movement in timber and winter damp in unheated stock.
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
Getting it to Lisbon, with real dates
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Lisbon or Sines, then a short road run to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Lisbon or Sines |
| 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 4 to 7 working days. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
Sea freight into Lisbon or Sines, then a short road run to site. Air freight for samples and urgent quantities.
The same 500 sq ft minimum applies on export.
| 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.

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.
-
A number chased without a measurement
If nobody has measured the room or set a target, the specification is a guess with a decimal point in it. We will ask for the target before we quote the quantity.
-
Local approvals that nobody actually holds
We hold no Lisbon certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.
Lisbon: questions we are actually asked
Is there a Lisbon 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 Lisbon as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Lisbon or Sines, then a short road run to site, with narrow street access planned into how we pack. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What decides the specification for a Lisbon project?
A house divided into guest rooms turns internal partitions into separating walls overnight. Doors and corridors generate more complaints than the walls themselves. Footfall from above is the single most common complaint we hear from this city. It is a floor problem, and treating the ceiling below rarely fixes it. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Lisbon climate affect this product?
Lisbon is hot dry summers and mild wet winters. The swing between a dry summer and a wet winter moves timber. PET felt is dimensionally stable across that swing; slat panels want a stable substrate and a ventilated fixing. The failure we design against here is seasonal movement in timber and winter damp in unheated stock.
How quickly can material reach a site in Lisbon?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Lisbon or Sines, then a short road run to site, 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.
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.
How is the order packed and what is the minimum?
The same 500 sq ft minimum applies on export. 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.

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.
