01 / The product
What this is, and what it changes in a Morocco room
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 Morocco is mostly manufacturing plants, hotels and riads, offices, restaurants, schools, hospitals.
Concrete and block construction with tile and zellige floors, in blocks around courtyards that reflect sound between homes.
- 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 Morocco.
02 / Specification sheet
The published figures, unchanged by location
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, classrooms, general commercial
- EchoPro 181800 GSM. Studios, auditoria, rooms with a written RT target
- EchoMax 222200 GSM. High occupancy and high level spaces

Where a consultant is already engaged on a Morocco 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 Morocco
- Hot and dry inland, humid on the coast
PET felt is stable in both and does not sag, shed fibre or hold moisture.
- Two very different markets
Automotive and component plants need enclosure and mass. Hospitality in older buildings needs shallow internal work. We quote them differently.
- Traditional buildings, hard surfaces
Tile, stone and plaster in tall rooms hold sound for a long time, and the structure usually cannot be altered.
- Tanger Med is a major hub
Frequent sailings and good onward connections make this one of the easier African routes to plan around.
- School and campus buildings
School buildings are hard surfaced with high ceilings and courtyards that amplify break time noise.
Architects working in Morocco usually need the build-up before the product. We will draw the section and mark what does the work. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate and durability
What the Morocco climate rules in and rules out
Morocco 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.
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
What the route into Morocco actually looks like
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Tanger Med or Casablanca, then road to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Tanger Med |
| 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 Tanger Med or Casablanca, 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.

Four honest warnings before you buy
-
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.
-
A claim of being local to Morocco
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.
Morocco: questions we are actually asked
Is there a Morocco 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 Morocco as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Tanger Med or Casablanca, both busy and well connected, then road to site. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What do you look at first on a Morocco enquiry?
Automotive and component plants need enclosure and mass. Hospitality in older buildings needs shallow internal work. We quote them differently. Tile, stone and plaster in tall rooms hold sound for a long time, and the structure usually cannot be altered. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Does Morocco weather shorten the life of this material?
Morocco 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 does an order actually travel to Morocco?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Tanger Med or Casablanca, 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 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.
How is the order packed and what is the minimum?
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.
