Manufactured in India, supplied in Norway
Acoustic panels in Norway
We manufacture acoustic panels at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Norway. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Oslo, then road onward, with the domestic leg quoted separately because Norway is a long country.
- 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
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 / What it is
The product, described honestly, for a Norway brief
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 Norway is mostly timber buildings and apartments, offices, schools, healthcare, hotels, studios.
Timber frame housing and concrete apartment blocks, both with very tight envelopes and hard internal finishes.
- 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 Norway.

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

On a Norway job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.
03 / In this market
What we see driving Norway briefs
- Timber is light
Timber construction passes low frequency easily. Added mass and a decoupled layer do the work, and absorption alone will not.
- Classes are written and checked
Work arrives with a target and someone verifies it. Send us the class and we will say plainly where our material sits.
- Sealed through a long winter
Ventilation runs constantly in closed buildings, so plant noise matters far more than street noise.
- A long country
A site north of Oslo has a real domestic leg. We quote it separately so the programme is built on actual dates.
- School and campus buildings
Classroom acoustics are regulated and taken seriously, with open plan learning spaces making intelligibility the target.
- The studio and content scene
A strong recording culture with rooms built to measured targets inside timber and concrete structures.
If you are specifying for a Norway project, we can give you a section, a BOQ and the honest limits of each layer. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate and durability
Why the climate in Norway changes the material, not the target
Norway 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 / Logistics
Getting it to Norway, with real dates
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Oslo, then road onward to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Oslo |
| 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. The sea leg from India is long, so plan the full door to door window into the programme. We give real dates, not optimistic ones.
Sea freight into Oslo, then road onward to site. 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.
| 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.
06 / Worth knowing
Four honest warnings before you buy
-
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.
-
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.
-
Suppliers who imply a Norway 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.
07 / In projects
How it looks once it is installed
Norway: questions we are actually asked
Where are the acoustic panels you supply to Norway actually made?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Norway as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Oslo, then road onward, with the domestic leg quoted separately because Norway is a long country. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
Why would a Norway build-up differ from anywhere else?
Timber construction passes low frequency easily. Added mass and a decoupled layer do the work, and absorption alone will not. Work arrives with a target and someone verifies it. Send us the class and we will say plainly where our material sits. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Norway climate affect this product?
Norway 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 does an order actually travel to Norway?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Oslo, then road onward to site, dispatch: 4 to 7 working days. Standard items dispatch in 4 to 7 working days. The sea leg from India is long, so plan the full door to door window into the programme. We give real dates, not optimistic ones.
What will acoustic panels not do?
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 quantity do we have to order, and in what packaging?
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.
