Manufactured in India, supplied in Phoenix
Ceiling baffles and clouds in Phoenix
We manufacture ceiling baffles and clouds at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Phoenix. Made at our own plant in India, shipped into Long Beach or Los Angeles and trucked across, with the road leg quoted separately so the dates are real.

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 / Start here
The material, and what it actually does on a Phoenix 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 Phoenix is mostly plant and equipment rooms, offices, multifamily, schools, clinics, home theatres.
American homes are timber frame with gypsum board on both faces, so a party wall or a basement ceiling has almost no mass. Adding a second leaf with a limp membrane between does more than any amount of surface treatment.
- 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 Phoenix.

02 / The numbers
One specification sheet, the same in every market
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. Offices, retail, general
- EchoPro 181800 GSM. Halls, atria, spaces with a target
- EchoMax 222200 GSM. High volume and high occupancy
| 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 |
Where a consultant is already engaged on a Phoenix project, we supply to their specification and send the test reports rather than describing them. More on working with acoustic consultants.
03 / On the ground
What the buildings in Phoenix do to the specification
- Cooling plant runs almost year round
Large units working continuously next to occupied space is the defining acoustic condition here. That is mass, isolation and duct treatment, not panels on a wall.
- Block and stucco, not just timber
A lot of construction here is masonry block rather than light frame, which changes the answer. We ask what the wall actually is before quoting anything.
- Sealed buildings, all summer
Nothing opens for months. Sound stops escaping and accumulates, so absorption inside has to be balanced rather than piled on.
- Heat does not bother our material
PET felt does not sag, shed fibre or break down at high temperatures, which matters in roof voids and plant spaces that get genuinely hot.
- School and campus buildings
Public school buildings run long corridors with hard floors and lay-in tile ceilings that were chosen for cost, not for speech. Classroom reverberation and corridor spill are the two complaints, and both respond to ceiling area rather than wall panels.
Architects working in Phoenix 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
Why the climate in Phoenix changes the material, not the target
Phoenix is hot dry summers and mild wet winters, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
The swing between a dry summer and a wet winter moves timber. PET felt is dimensionally stable across that swing; slat panels want a stable substrate and a ventilated fixing.
The risk we design against here is seasonal movement in timber and winter damp in unheated stock.
For a Phoenix interior where the finish leads, we will say plainly what each option costs you acoustically. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Route to site
Supply into Phoenix, start to site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Long Beach or Los Angeles, then road across to Phoenix |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via the West Coast |
| 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. 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 Long Beach or Los Angeles, then road across to Phoenix. 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.

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.
-
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 Phoenix
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.
Phoenix: questions we are actually asked
Are these ceiling baffles and clouds made in Phoenix?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Phoenix as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India, shipped into Long Beach or Los Angeles and trucked across, with the road leg quoted separately so the dates are real. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What do you look at first on a Phoenix enquiry?
Large units working continuously next to occupied space is the defining acoustic condition here. That is mass, isolation and duct treatment, not panels on a wall. A lot of construction here is masonry block rather than light frame, which changes the answer. We ask what the wall actually is before quoting anything. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Phoenix climate affect this product?
Phoenix is hot dry summers and mild wet winters. The swing between a dry summer and a wet winter moves timber. PET felt is dimensionally stable across that swing; slat panels want a stable substrate and a ventilated fixing. The failure we design against here is seasonal movement in timber and winter damp in unheated stock.
How quickly can material reach a site in Phoenix?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Long Beach or Los Angeles, then road across to Phoenix, 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.
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.
How is the order packed and what is the minimum?
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.
