Manufactured in India, supplied in Rishikesh
Acoustic panels in Rishikesh
We manufacture acoustic panels at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Rishikesh. Rishikesh sells quiet.
- Plain PET felt
- 9 to 24 mm, 1220 x 2440 mm standard, up to 2440 x 4270 mm, 1200 to 3600 GSM

- 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 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 / The product
What this material is and where it earns its place in Rishikesh
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 Rishikesh is mostly meditation and yoga halls, retreat accommodation, ashrams, hotels, cafes, clinics.
RC frame houses and hotels built on slopes, with hard floors and cold external walls in the hill towns.
- 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 Rishikesh.

The numbers, and they do not move by city
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

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
What we see driving Rishikesh briefs
- Quiet is the product
Guests come specifically for stillness, so a corridor or neighbour audible in a retreat room is a failure of the offering rather than a comfort issue.
- Halls for practice and teaching
Rooms used for chanting, instruction and silence in turn. The design has to serve a very wide range of levels.
- River and road outside
Traffic and river noise reach rooms through openings and glazing, which is a facade question before it is a wall question.
- Next day from the plant
A short run, so samples arrive quickly and freight stays low.
- School and campus buildings
Classrooms are concrete and tile with bare walls and high ceilings, and class sizes push levels up. Corridors act as reverberation chambers that feed every room off them.
- The studio and content scene
Very little purpose built studio work. Most demand is hotel entertainment space and small content rooms inside existing hillside buildings.
For a Rishikesh practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
04 / Durability
The Rishikesh climate decides the material list
Rishikesh 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.
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 / Getting it there
Supply into Rishikesh, start to site
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | next day |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | next day |
| 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 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 three hundred kilometres, normally next day on a dedicated truck.
From 10 panels for 9 mm EchoCore 15. Other grades and thicknesses carry their own minimum.
| 9 mm EchoCore 15, 1500 GSM | 10 panels, 320 sq ft |
|---|---|
| 9 mm EchoPro 18, 1800 GSM | 50 panels, 1,600 sq ft |
| 9 mm EchoMax 22, 2200 GSM | 100 panels, 3,200 sq ft |
| 12 mm, 2400 GSM | 30 panels, 960 sq ft |
| 18 mm, 3000 GSM | 50 panels, 1,600 sq ft |
| 24 mm, 3600 GSM | 50 panels, 1,600 sq ft |
A panel is 1220 x 2440 mm, which is 32 sq ft.
06 / Read this first
Where this goes wrong, said plainly
-
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.
-
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.

A claim of being local to Rishikesh
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
Rishikesh: questions we are actually asked
Is there a Rishikesh factory behind this product?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Rishikesh as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Rishikesh sells quiet. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What do you look at first on a Rishikesh enquiry?
Guests come specifically for stillness, so a corridor or neighbour audible in a retreat room is a failure of the offering rather than a comfort issue. Rooms used for chanting, instruction and silence in turn. The design has to serve a very wide range of levels. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Rishikesh climate affect this product?
Rishikesh 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.
What is the delivery time into Rishikesh?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: next day, 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 acoustic panels not do?
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.
What quantity do we have to order, and in what packaging?
From 10 panels for 9 mm EchoCore 15. Other grades and thicknesses carry their own minimum. 9 mm EchoCore 15, 1500 GSM, 10 panels, 320 sq ft. 9 mm EchoPro 18, 1800 GSM, 50 panels, 1,600 sq ft. 9 mm EchoMax 22, 2200 GSM, 100 panels, 3,200 sq ft. 12 mm, 2400 GSM, 30 panels, 960 sq ft. 18 mm, 3000 GSM, 50 panels, 1,600 sq ft. 24 mm, 3600 GSM, 50 panels, 1,600 sq ft.
