Manufactured in India, supplied in Mumbai
Ceiling baffles and clouds in Mumbai
We manufacture ceiling baffles and clouds at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Mumbai. Mumbai gives us the smallest rooms and the hardest briefs in the country.
- 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 this material is and where it earns its place in Mumbai
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 Mumbai is mostly recording studios, offices, flats and redevelopment towers, restaurants, clinics, schools.
Towers and chawls side by side, in RC frame with tile floors. Redevelopment stock shares slabs and lift cores, and monsoon damp rules out anything that holds moisture.
- 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 Mumbai.

02 / Data sheet
One specification sheet, the same in every market
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, retail, general
- EchoPro 181800 GSM. Halls, atria, spaces with a target
- EchoMax 222200 GSM. High volume and high occupancy
| Material | 100% PET non-woven, the panel family |
|---|---|

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 / On the ground
What decides the build-up in Mumbai
- Every centimetre is paid for
At Mumbai rates a wall that grows a hundred millimetres into the room costs real money. A dense membrane with a resilient break usually beats a thick framed build-up here.
- The studio capital
More recording and dubbing rooms per square kilometre than anywhere else we supply. They sit inside occupied buildings, so isolation comes before tuning, always.
- Monsoon damp defeats the wrong material
PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould. Mineral products sag here within a couple of seasons.
- Redevelopment, built fast
Old buildings replaced by towers on tight programmes. Acoustic detail is easy to lose unless it is specified before the slab is poured.
- School and campus buildings
Schools range from compact municipal buildings to large private campuses, all hard surfaced, with assembly halls doing duty as performance spaces.
Architects working in Mumbai 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
What the Mumbai climate rules in and rules out
Mumbai 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
Supply into Mumbai, start to site
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | three to four days |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | three to four days |
| 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 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 fourteen hundred kilometres, normally three to four days on a dedicated truck.
500 sq ft, about 46 sq m, across baffles and clouds together.

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 / Straight talk
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.
-
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 Mumbai
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.
Mumbai: questions we are actually asked
Do you manufacture ceiling baffles and clouds in Mumbai?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Mumbai as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Mumbai gives us the smallest rooms and the hardest briefs in the country. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What changes the specification on a Mumbai job?
At Mumbai rates a wall that grows a hundred millimetres into the room costs real money. A dense membrane with a resilient break usually beats a thick framed build-up here. More recording and dubbing rooms per square kilometre than anywhere else we supply. They sit inside occupied buildings, so isolation comes before tuning, always. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Is this the right material for Mumbai conditions?
Mumbai 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.
What is the delivery time into Mumbai?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: three to four 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.
Where do ceiling baffles and clouds fail to help?
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?
500 sq ft, about 46 sq m, across baffles and clouds together. 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.
