Manufactured in India, supplied in Nepal
Ceiling baffles and clouds in Nepal
We manufacture ceiling baffles and clouds at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Nepal. Made at our own plant in India and moved overland through the border, which makes Nepal one of the few markets we reach entirely by road.
- 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 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 / Start here
What this is, and what it changes in a Nepal room
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 Nepal is mostly hotels and guest houses, offices, hospitals, schools, assembly halls, houses.
Reinforced concrete frames with brick infill and hard floors, in buildings that sit very close together on narrow lanes.
- 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 Nepal.

02 / Specification 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 |

On a Nepal job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.
03 / In this market
What the buildings in Nepal do to the specification
- Reached entirely by road
No port, no container, no sea leg. That keeps lead times short and makes small or repeat orders practical in a way they are not for most export markets.
- Rebuilt and reinforced structures
A great deal of stock has been rebuilt or retrofitted for seismic performance. Movement joints must stay free and an acoustic layer must not stiffen across them.
- Hospitality in dense valleys
Hotels and guest houses packed into tight streets where street noise reaches rooms through openings rather than walls.
- Packing for mountain roads
The final leg is often on rough road. We brace and wrap for that rather than for a smooth port transfer.
- School and campus buildings
Classrooms are concrete and tile with large class sizes and street noise through open windows.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Durability
What the Nepal climate rules in and rules out
Nepal 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 Nepal interior where the finish leads, we will say plainly what each option costs you acoustically. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Route to site
Supply into Nepal, start to site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Overland through the India border, then road to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Road via the India border |
| 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. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
Overland by road through the India border, then on to site. No sea leg and no port handling.
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 / Straight talk
What we will tell you that a reseller will not
-
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.

Suppliers who imply a Nepal 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.
Nepal: questions we are actually asked
Is there a Nepal 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 Nepal as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and moved overland through the border, which makes Nepal one of the few markets we reach entirely by road. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What changes the specification on a Nepal job?
No port, no container, no sea leg. That keeps lead times short and makes small or repeat orders practical in a way they are not for most export markets. A great deal of stock has been rebuilt or retrofitted for seismic performance. Movement joints must stay free and an acoustic layer must not stiffen across them. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Will this material last in the Nepal climate?
Nepal 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.
What is the delivery time into Nepal?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Overland through the India border, 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.
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.
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.
