Manufactured in India, supplied in Munich
Acoustic panels in Munich
We manufacture acoustic panels at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Munich. Made at our own plant in India, shipped in container loads to Bavarian sites and specified against your drawings before anything leaves the factory.
- Plain PET felt
- 9 to 24 mm, 1220 x 2440 mm standard, up to 2440 x 4270 mm, 1200 to 3600 GSM
- Printed felt
- 1800 x 900 mm, image printed into the felt rather than onto a facing
- Grooved panels
- Cut pattern in PET felt, adds visual rhythm without changing the absorber
- Test standard
- ASTM C423
- Lead time
- 4 to 7 working days standard
- Minimum order
- From 10 panels
- ASTM C423
- Made at our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, India
- 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 / The material
What this is, and what it changes in a Munich room
The full absorber range rather than one product: plain PET felt, printed felt, grooved panels and fabric finishes, chosen by how the room is used and how it has to look.
Work reaching us from Munich is mostly apartments and villas, corporate floors, studios, hotels, clinics, schools.
Altbau blocks have solid masonry walls and timber joist floors, so airborne noise is controlled but footfall is not. Neubau is concrete with better floors and much harder surfaces.
- Wall array Panels placed at first reflection points rather than spread evenly. Fewer panels, better result.
- Ceiling first In most rooms the ceiling is the largest untreated surface and the cheapest square metre of result.
- Mixed finish Plain felt where it is out of eye line, printed or grooved where it is seen.
- What it will not do Coverage is not the target, reverberation time is. Lining every surface wastes money and can leave a room sounding dead and unpleasant.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for our acoustic panel range are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Munich.

02 / Data 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. General commercial
- EchoPro 181800 GSM. Rooms with a written RT target
- EchoMax 222200 GSM. High occupancy and high level spaces

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 / In this market
What decides the build-up in Munich
- Corporate and studio work
Head office floors, media rooms and production studios around the city want measured performance and a finish that survives a design review.
- Altbau above, concrete below
A stucco ceilinged Altbau flat and a post-war concrete block need different answers to the same complaint. We ask which one you are in before we quote anything.
- Specified, with numbers attached
Send us the acoustician report and the target values. We will tell you what our build-up gets to and where it falls short, in writing, before you commit.
- Floor area is expensive here
Every centimetre the wall grows into the room is money. A dense membrane plus a resilient layer usually beats a thick framed build-up on both cost and depth.
- School and campus buildings
School and university buildings are built to a high thermal standard with hard, cleanable surfaces. Speech clarity in classrooms and long corridors is where the acoustic budget goes.
- The studio and content scene
A deep production and broadcast culture means rooms are specified properly, with measured targets rather than guesses. Suppliers are expected to provide absorption data, not adjectives.
For a Munich practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate and durability
The Munich climate decides the material list
Munich is cool and damp, with long heating seasons and cold external walls, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
Cold wall build-ups and long heating seasons mean interstitial condensation is a real risk behind any lining. PET felt is unaffected by damp air and will not feed mould where a fabric-faced mineral product would.
The risk we design against here is condensation behind linings in older, poorly insulated stock.
If the visual is fixed and the room still has to perform, that is a solvable problem and a conversation worth having early. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Logistics
Supply into Munich, start to site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Hamburg or Bremerhaven, then rail and road south to Bavaria |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Hamburg |
| Packing | Palletised flat and film wrapped. Printed panels interleaved and corner protected. |
| Lead time | 4 to 7 working days standard. Printed and grooved take longer. |
Standard items dispatch in 4 to 7 working days. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order.
Sea freight into Hamburg or Bremerhaven, then rail and road south. It is a long inland leg and we build it into the dates we give you rather than pretending it is not there.
200 panels for a trial order, in any mix of thickness, GSM and colour. Beyond a trial we would rather quote a container load.
| Trial order | 200 panels, 6,400 sq ft, mixed thickness, GSM and colour |
|---|---|
| Recommended | Full container |
A panel is 1220 x 2440 mm, which is 32 sq ft.

The things worth knowing before you place the order
-
The wrong product for the problem
Coverage is not the target, reverberation time is. Lining every surface wastes money and can leave a room sounding dead and unpleasant. We would rather calculate the area than sell the wall.
-
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.

Suppliers who imply a Munich presence
Ask any supplier where the material is made and who carries the warranty. We make it at Palwal in Haryana and we say so on every page, including this one.

Munich: questions we are actually asked
Do you manufacture acoustic panels in Munich?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Munich as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India, shipped in container loads to Bavarian sites and specified against your drawings before anything leaves the factory. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What do you look at first on a Munich enquiry?
A stucco ceilinged Altbau flat and a post-war concrete block need different answers to the same complaint. We ask which one you are in before we quote anything. Send us the acoustician report and the target values. We will tell you what our build-up gets to and where it falls short, in writing, before you commit. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Will this material last in the Munich climate?
Munich is cool and damp, with long heating seasons and cold external walls. Cold wall build-ups and long heating seasons mean interstitial condensation is a real risk behind any lining. PET felt is unaffected by damp air and will not feed mould where a fabric-faced mineral product would. The failure we design against here is condensation behind linings in older, poorly insulated stock.
When would material land on a Munich site?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Hamburg or Bremerhaven, then rail and road south to Bavaria, 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.
What should you not buy acoustic panels for?
Coverage is not the target, reverberation time is. Lining every surface wastes money and can leave a room sounding dead and unpleasant. We would rather calculate the area than sell the wall.
What is the minimum order and how is it packed?
200 panels for a trial order, in any mix of thickness, GSM and colour. Beyond a trial we would rather quote a container load. Trial order, 200 panels, 6,400 sq ft, mixed thickness, GSM and colour. Recommended, Full container. A panel is 1220 x 2440 mm, which is 32 sq ft. Palletised flat and film wrapped. Printed panels interleaved and corner protected.
