Manufactured in India, supplied in Oman
Ceiling baffles and clouds in Oman
We manufacture ceiling baffles and clouds at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Oman. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Sohar, Salalah or Duqm, all short runs from western India, then road to site.
- 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 make this ourselves and ship it to you. No local branch, no borrowed certifications, no dealer margin. One batch across the whole order, and an honest answer when the product is wrong for the problem.
01 / What it is
The material, and what it actually does on a Oman job
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 Oman is mostly industrial zones and plant, hotels and resorts, institutional buildings, schools, hospitals.
Villas and low rise blocks in concrete and block with stone or tile floors. Mass is present, impact noise between floors and live rooms are not addressed.
- 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 Oman.

02 / Data 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

Consultants get the raw data, not a sales sheet. That is the whole of our side of the job, and it is set out under working with acoustic consultants.
03 / In this market
The Oman conditions that change the answer
- Three ports, very different road legs
Sohar serves the north, Salalah the south and Duqm the industrial centre. We route to whichever shortens the drive to your site.
- Industrial and plant work
Process plant, compressors and generator halls where enclosure and mass do the work rather than absorption.
- Heat and sealed buildings
Closed up with heavy cooling, so mechanical noise accumulates inside instead of escaping.
- A short sea leg from India
Western India to Omani ports is quick, which keeps lead times realistic and repeat orders practical.
- School and campus buildings
School and university buildings are new, large and hard surfaced, with sports halls and lecture rooms failing first.
Architects working in Oman 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 / Conditions
The Oman climate decides the material list
Oman is hot and dry for most of the year, with dust and high daytime surface temperatures, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
Dust is the enemy of open-cell products. PET felt does not shed, does not hold dust in the way fabric-wrapped glass wool does, and wipes down. Timber needs a stable indoor RH or it moves.
The risk we design against here is dust ingress and thermal movement in long runs.
Designers get colour, pattern and CNC options with the absorption figure attached to each. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Supply
Getting it to Oman, with real dates
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Sohar, Salalah or Duqm, then road to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Sohar, Salalah or Duqm |
| 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.
Sea freight into Sohar, Salalah or Duqm, then road to site. 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 / Worth knowing
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.
-
A number chased without a measurement
If nobody has measured the room or set a target, the specification is a guess with a decimal point in it. We will ask for the target before we quote the quantity.
-
A claim of being local to Oman
We manufacture in India and supply here. We do not run an office in this city and we will not pretend to, because you would find out on the first site visit.
Oman: questions we are actually asked
Do you manufacture ceiling baffles and clouds in Oman?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Oman as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Sohar, Salalah or Duqm, all short runs from western India, then road to site. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What decides the specification for a Oman project?
Sohar serves the north, Salalah the south and Duqm the industrial centre. We route to whichever shortens the drive to your site. Process plant, compressors and generator halls where enclosure and mass do the work rather than absorption. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Oman climate affect this product?
Oman is hot and dry for most of the year, with dust and high daytime surface temperatures. Dust is the enemy of open-cell products. PET felt does not shed, does not hold dust in the way fabric-wrapped glass wool does, and wipes down. Timber needs a stable indoor RH or it moves. The failure we design against here is dust ingress and thermal movement in long runs.
What is the delivery time into Oman?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Sohar, Salalah or Duqm, 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 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.
