PET felt acoustic panels in Netherlands
We manufacture PET felt acoustic panels 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.

01 / The product
What this material is and where it earns its place in Netherlands
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 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.
- 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 Netherlands.
02 / Specification
The published figures, unchanged by location
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, classrooms, general commercial
- EchoPro 181800 GSM. Studios, auditoria, rooms with a written RT target
- EchoMax 222200 GSM. High occupancy and high level spaces

03 / In this market
What we see driving Netherlands briefs
- Damp, mild climate
Our felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which suits cold external walls and sealed rooms.
- 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.
- 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.
Architects working in Netherlands 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
Durability in Netherlands, before acoustics is discussed
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.
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 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 | 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 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.
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.

The things worth knowing before you place the order
-
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.

Suppliers who imply a Netherlands 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.
Netherlands: questions we are actually asked
Are these PET felt acoustic panels 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 do you look at first on a Netherlands enquiry?
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.
Does Netherlands weather shorten the life of this material?
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.
How quickly can material reach a site in Netherlands?
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 PET felt acoustic panels for?
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.
Is there a minimum order, and how does it arrive?
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.
