Ceiling baffles and clouds in Netherlands
We manufacture ceiling baffles and clouds at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Netherlands. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Rotterdam, which puts most Dutch sites within a short road run of the port.
- 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
Manufacturer, not reseller. We hold no local approvals and will not imply we do. You get the price the factory quotes, material that matches across a large order, and advice that sometimes talks you out of a purchase.
01 / Start here
What you are buying, and what it fixes in Netherlands
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 Netherlands is mostly apartments, offices, schools, healthcare, studios, hospitality.
Narrow terraced houses and canal buildings share party walls, with timber floors upstairs and concrete below. Neighbours on both sides is the default condition.
- 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 Netherlands.

02 / Specification sheet
Published specification, identical wherever we ship it
Nothing below changes by location. The decisions that do change are grade, thickness and how the material is mounted, and those are covered further down.
- EchoCore 151500 GSM. Offices, retail, general
- EchoPro 181800 GSM. Halls, atria, spaces with a target
- EchoMax 222200 GSM. High volume and high occupancy

On a Netherlands job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.
03 / In this market
What decides the build-up in Netherlands
- Timber floors in canal houses
Old narrow houses carry footfall down every floor. A resilient layer under the finish does more than a treatment applied below.
- Lightweight new build
Efficient construction means less mass. Where mass is missing, a dense membrane is usually the cheapest honest fix.
- Recycled content matters here
PET felt is made from recycled bottle flake, which is the first question most Dutch specifiers ask and the easiest one for us to answer.
- Damp, mild climate
Our felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which suits cold external walls and sealed rooms.
- School and campus buildings
School buildings are well insulated and airtight with hard cleanable surfaces, so rooms stay live and ventilation noise is always present.
For a Netherlands practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
04 / Durability
The Netherlands climate decides the material list
Netherlands 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 / Route to site
Supply into Netherlands, start to site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Rotterdam, then a short road run to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Rotterdam |
| 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 and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order.
Sea freight into Rotterdam, then road to site. Being close to the port keeps inland cost low. 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 / Before you buy
Four honest warnings before you buy
-
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.
-
Square footage quoted before the room is understood
Anyone can price a wall. Working out how much material the room actually needs usually reduces the order, which is why not everyone does it.
-
Local approvals that nobody actually holds
We hold no Netherlands certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.
Netherlands: questions we are actually asked
Are these ceiling baffles and clouds made in Netherlands?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Netherlands as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Rotterdam, which puts most Dutch sites within a short road run of the port. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What decides the specification for a Netherlands project?
Old narrow houses carry footfall down every floor. A resilient layer under the finish does more than a treatment applied below. Efficient construction means less mass. Where mass is missing, a dense membrane is usually the cheapest honest fix. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Netherlands climate affect this product?
Netherlands 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 Netherlands site?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Rotterdam, then a short road run to site, dispatch: 4 to 7 working days. Standard items dispatch in 4 to 7 working days. Grooved and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order.
What should you not buy ceiling baffles and clouds for?
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 is the minimum order and how is it packed?
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.
