Manufactured in India, supplied in Qatar
Acoustic panels in Qatar
We manufacture acoustic panels at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Qatar. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Hamad Port, a short run from western India, then a short road leg to almost anywhere in the 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
We are the manufacturer. There is no local office and we do not claim approvals we do not hold. What you get is factory pricing, one consistent batch across the order, and a straight answer on what the material will and will not do.
01 / Start here
What this is, and what it changes in a Qatar room
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 Qatar is mostly venues and event spaces, hotels, towers and apartments, offices, hospitals, schools.
Towers and compound villas in concrete and block with stone floors. Rooms are live and impact noise passes straight through the slab.
- 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 Qatar.

02 / The numbers
One specification sheet, the same in every market
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. General commercial
- EchoPro 181800 GSM. Rooms with a written RT target
- EchoMax 222200 GSM. High occupancy and high level spaces

On a Qatar job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.
03 / In this market
The Qatar conditions that change the answer
- Sealed against extreme heat
Buildings stay closed with heavy cooling all year. Mechanical noise accumulates and rooms stay live.
- A short sea leg and a short road leg
Hamad Port is close to India by sea and close to everywhere by road, which makes the landed cost unusually predictable.
- Venues and assembly at scale
Large event and assembly spaces where amplified sound and intelligible speech both have to work in the same room.
- New concrete construction
The structure carries mass, so the recurring problem is reverberation inside and impact through slabs rather than airborne transfer.
- School and campus buildings
International school and university campuses are new, glazed and built fast, with atria and sports halls the problem rooms.
- The studio and content scene
Broadcast and production work sits inside commercial buildings where plant noise sets the achievable floor.
Architects working in Qatar 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 / Durability
Why the climate in Qatar changes the material, not the target
Qatar 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.
If the visual is fixed and the room still has to perform, that is a solvable problem and a conversation worth having early. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Route to site
Getting it to Qatar, with real dates
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Hamad Port, then a short road run to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Hamad Port |
| 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. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
Sea freight into Hamad Port, then a short road run 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
The things worth knowing before you place the order
-
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.
-
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 Qatar
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.

The material in real interiors
Qatar: questions we are actually asked
Where are the acoustic panels you supply to Qatar actually made?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Qatar as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Hamad Port, a short run from western India, then a short road leg to almost anywhere in the country. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
Why would a Qatar build-up differ from anywhere else?
Hamad Port is close to India by sea and close to everywhere by road, which makes the landed cost unusually predictable. Large event and assembly spaces where amplified sound and intelligible speech both have to work in the same room. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Is this the right material for Qatar conditions?
Qatar 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 Qatar?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Hamad Port, then a short road run 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 acoustic panels fail to help?
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.
How is the order packed and what is the minimum?
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.
