Manufactured in India, supplied in Patna
Ceiling baffles and clouds in Patna
We manufacture ceiling baffles and clouds at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Patna. Patna is building institutional space quickly, and almost all of it involves large rooms where a lot of people need to hear one person.
- Material

- 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
This comes from our own plant, not a trading desk. We do not have an office in your city and we will not invent one. What we can give you is factory pricing, consistent material and a technical answer before you commit.
01 / The product
What this material is and where it earns its place in Patna
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 Patna is mostly coaching institutes and colleges, hospitals, government buildings, auditoriums, offices, hotels.
RC frame with brick infill and hard floors, in buildings that sit 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 Patna.

02 / Specification
The published figures, unchanged by location
The specification below is the same everywhere we supply, because a specification that changed by city would not be a specification. What changes is which grade and build-up is the right buy, and that is what the rest of this page is about.
- 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 / What drives the brief
The Patna conditions that change the answer
- Rooms built for listening
Coaching halls and lecture rooms pack people into hard spaces. Intelligibility fails long before anyone describes the room as echoing.
- New institutional build
Concrete and tile put up quickly, with acoustics discovered at handover. Early drawings are worth more than extra material later.
- Medical privacy
Consult and counselling rooms where conversations have to stay in the room. Partition and door before panel.
- Two days by road
A manageable run, so freight is reasonable and samples arrive before the order is placed.
- School and campus buildings
Large government and private schools in concrete and tile with very large class sizes and open corridors.
For a Patna practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
04 / Conditions
What the Patna climate rules in and rules out
Patna 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 Patna interior where the finish leads, we will say plainly what each option costs you acoustically. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Logistics
Getting it to Patna, with real dates
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | two days |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | two days |
| 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 2 to 4 working days from our plant at Palwal. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
By road from Palwal, roughly ten hundred kilometres, normally two days on a dedicated truck.

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
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.
-
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 Patna certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.
Patna: questions we are actually asked
Are these ceiling baffles and clouds made in Patna?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Patna as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Patna is building institutional space quickly, and almost all of it involves large rooms where a lot of people need to hear one person. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What decides the specification for a Patna project?
Coaching halls and lecture rooms pack people into hard spaces. Intelligibility fails long before anyone describes the room as echoing. Concrete and tile put up quickly, with acoustics discovered at handover. Early drawings are worth more than extra material later. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Is this the right material for Patna conditions?
Patna 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.
When would material land on a Patna site?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: two days, dispatch: 2 to 4 working days. Standard items dispatch in 2 to 4 working days from our plant at Palwal. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
What will ceiling baffles and clouds 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.
What quantity do we have to order, and in what packaging?
500 sq ft, about 46 sq m, across baffles and clouds together. 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.
Next step
Tell us the room, we will tell you the build-up
A plan and a section is enough. We will come back with a build-up, a BOQ and a delivered date, and we will say so if what you are asking for will not work.
