Manufactured in India, supplied in Mexico
Ceiling baffles and clouds in Mexico
We manufacture ceiling baffles and clouds at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Mexico. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Manzanillo on the Pacific or Veracruz on the Gulf, whichever suits the site better.
- 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 make this ourselves and ship it to you. No local branch, no borrowed certifications, no dealer margin. One batch across the whole order, and an honest answer when the product is wrong for the problem.
01 / The material
What you are buying, and what it fixes in Mexico
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 Mexico is mostly manufacturing plants, corporate offices, hotels and resorts, apartments, schools, hospitals.
Concrete and block construction with hard tile floors, in apartment blocks and houses that share walls and slabs.
- 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 Mexico.

02 / The numbers
Published specification, identical wherever we ship it
The specification below is the same everywhere we supply, because a specification that changed by city would not be a specification. What changes is which grade and build-up is the right buy, and that is what the rest of this page is about.
- EchoCore 151500 GSM. Offices, retail, general
- EchoPro 181800 GSM. Halls, atria, spaces with a target
- EchoMax 222200 GSM. High volume and high occupancy

Consultants get the raw data, not a sales sheet. That is the whole of our side of the job, and it is set out under working with acoustic consultants.
03 / In this market
What the buildings in Mexico do to the specification
- New plants at pace
Greenfield manufacturing going up quickly. Enclosure and partition detail designed in now costs a fraction of fixing it after commissioning.
- Block and concrete construction
Walls carry mass, so the usual problem is hard live rooms and plant noise rather than conversation through a wall.
- Two coasts, two ports
Manzanillo serves the west and centre, Veracruz the east. We route to whichever shortens your inland leg.
- Resort programmes are fixed
Coastal hotel openings do not move, so real dispatch and transit dates matter more than a marginally better price.
- School and campus buildings
Classrooms are concrete and tile with large class sizes, and covered courtyards amplify everything.
If you are specifying for a Mexico project, we can give you a section, a BOQ and the honest limits of each layer. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate
Durability in Mexico, before acoustics is discussed
Mexico 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.
For a Mexico interior where the finish leads, we will say plainly what each option costs you acoustically. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Getting it there
Supply into Mexico, start to site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Manzanillo or Veracruz, then road to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Manzanillo |
| 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. The sea leg from India is long, so plan the full door to door window into the programme. We give real dates, not optimistic ones.
Sea freight into Manzanillo or Veracruz, then road 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.
06 / Worth knowing
Where this goes wrong, said plainly
-
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.
-
A claim of being local to Mexico
We manufacture in India and supply here. We do not run an office in this city and we will not pretend to, because you would find out on the first site visit.
Mexico: questions we are actually asked
Do you manufacture ceiling baffles and clouds in Mexico?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Mexico as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Manzanillo on the Pacific or Veracruz on the Gulf, whichever suits the site better. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What changes the specification on a Mexico job?
Greenfield manufacturing going up quickly. Enclosure and partition detail designed in now costs a fraction of fixing it after commissioning. Walls carry mass, so the usual problem is hard live rooms and plant noise rather than conversation through a wall. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Mexico climate affect this product?
Mexico 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 Mexico site?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Manzanillo or Veracruz, then road to site, dispatch: 4 to 7 working days. Standard items dispatch in 4 to 7 working days. The sea leg from India is long, so plan the full door to door window into the programme. We give real dates, not optimistic ones.
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.
What quantity do we have to order, and in what packaging?
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.

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.
