- 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 material, and what it actually does on a Malaysia job
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 Malaysia is mostly electronics and manufacturing plants, hotels and resorts, offices, hospitals, schools, studios.
Concrete frame condominiums and terrace houses with hard tile floors throughout, sharing walls and slabs.
- 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 Malaysia.
02 / Data sheet
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, classrooms, general commercial
- EchoPro 181800 GSM. Studios, auditoria, rooms with a written RT target
- EchoMax 222200 GSM. High occupancy and high level spaces

On a Malaysia job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.
03 / On the ground
The Malaysia conditions that change the answer
- Tropical humidity year round
PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould. That decides whether a ceiling is still sound in five years.
- Plants and clean areas
Manufacturing floors need enclosure at the machine, and measurement rooms need a genuinely low background before any result means anything.
- Cooling loads never stop
Continuous mechanical plant close to occupied space causes more complaints than the rooms themselves.
- Two well served ports
Port Klang and Penang both run frequently from India, so we can route to whichever suits your site.
- School and campus buildings
Classrooms are hard and naturally ventilated with open corridors and large assembly halls.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate and durability
Durability in Malaysia, before acoustics is discussed
Malaysia 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 / Getting it there
What the route into Malaysia actually looks like
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Port Klang or Penang, then road to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Port Klang |
| 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 into Port Klang or Penang, then road to site. 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.

What we will tell you that a reseller will not
-
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.
-
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.
-
Local approvals that nobody actually holds
We hold no Malaysia certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.
Malaysia: questions we are actually asked
Is there a Malaysia 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 Malaysia as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Port Klang or Penang, both well served from western India. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
Why would a Malaysia build-up differ from anywhere else?
Manufacturing floors need enclosure at the machine, and measurement rooms need a genuinely low background before any result means anything. PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould. That decides whether a ceiling is still sound in five years. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Does Malaysia weather shorten the life of this material?
Malaysia 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 does an order actually travel to Malaysia?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Port Klang or Penang, then road 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.
What should you not buy PET felt acoustic panels for?
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.
