Ceiling baffles and clouds in Philippines
We manufacture ceiling baffles and clouds at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Philippines. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Manila, Cebu or Batangas, then road or inter-island onward 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 product, described honestly, for a Philippines brief
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 Philippines is mostly service and call centre floors, resorts and hotels, offices, condominiums, schools, hospitals.
Concrete and block construction with hard floors, in condominium towers and low rise housing that share walls and slabs.
- 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 Philippines.

02 / The numbers
One specification sheet, the same in every market
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

Where a consultant is already engaged on a Philippines project, we supply to their specification and send the test reports rather than describing them. More on working with acoustic consultants.
03 / Local conditions
What decides the build-up in Philippines
- Typhoons and humidity
PET felt does not absorb moisture, rot or feed mould, which matters where mineral products fail within a season.
- An onward leg is normal
Material often continues by inter-island ferry. Tell us and we brace and wrap for the second journey rather than for a truck dock.
- Service centre floors
Rooms full of simultaneous conversations, where privacy and intelligibility matter more than reverberation time.
- Resort work on fixed dates
Island hotel programmes run to an opening. Real dispatch and transit dates matter more than a marginally better price.
- School and campus buildings
Classrooms are hard and naturally ventilated with very large class sizes and open corridors.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate and durability
Durability in Philippines, before acoustics is discussed
Philippines is warm and humid through most of the year, with a long wet season, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
Humidity is the deciding factor. PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which is why it outlasts fabric-wrapped mineral wool in this climate. Wood wool and timber need a ventilated cavity behind them.
The risk we design against here is mould, sagging fabric finishes and swelling in timber.
Designers get colour, pattern and CNC options with the absorption figure attached to each. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Getting it there
How material reaches a Philippines site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Manila, Cebu or Batangas, then road or inter-island onward |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Manila or Cebu |
| 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 Manila, Cebu or Batangas, then road or inter-island onward. Air freight for samples.
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 / Straight talk
The things worth knowing before you place the order
-
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.

Suppliers who imply a Philippines 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.
Philippines: questions we are actually asked
Do you manufacture ceiling baffles and clouds in Philippines?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Philippines as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Manila, Cebu or Batangas, then road or inter-island onward to site. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What changes the specification on a Philippines job?
Material often continues by inter-island ferry. Tell us and we brace and wrap for the second journey rather than for a truck dock. Rooms full of simultaneous conversations, where privacy and intelligibility matter more than reverberation time. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Will this material last in the Philippines climate?
Philippines is warm and humid through most of the year, with a long wet season. Humidity is the deciding factor. PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which is why it outlasts fabric-wrapped mineral wool in this climate. Wood wool and timber need a ventilated cavity behind them. The failure we design against here is mould, sagging fabric finishes and swelling in timber.
When would material land on a Philippines site?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Manila, Cebu or Batangas, then road or inter-island onward, 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.
