Manufactured in India, supplied in Riyadh
Ceiling baffles and clouds in Riyadh
We manufacture ceiling baffles and clouds at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Riyadh. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Dammam, then road inland to Riyadh.

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.

What you are buying, and what it fixes in Riyadh
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 Riyadh is mostly government and corporate buildings, hotels, large developments, hospitals, schools, auditoriums.
Villas and apartment blocks are concrete and block with hard stone or tile throughout. Mass is there, but every room is live and impact noise between floors is untreated.
- 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 Riyadh.

02 / The numbers
Published specification, identical wherever we ship it
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.

What the buildings in Riyadh do to the specification
- Inland, so plan the road leg
Dammam then several hundred kilometres by road. We quote the sea leg and the inland leg separately so the programme runs on real dates.
- Very large single orders
Development-scale work means the same detail repeated across many buildings. Batch consistency matters more than the figure on any one sheet.
- Heat and sealed buildings
Closed up with heavy cooling all year. Plant noise has nowhere to escape and rooms stay hard and live inside.
- Assembly and briefing spaces
Large halls in concrete and stone where speech stops being intelligible well before the room sounds obviously wrong.
- School and campus buildings
New school and university buildings are large, hard and highly glazed. Lecture theatres and sports halls are the spaces that fail first, and ceiling absorption is the practical fix.
If you are specifying for a Riyadh project, we can give you a section, a BOQ and the honest limits of each layer. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate and durability
What the Riyadh climate rules in and rules out
Riyadh 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.
For a Riyadh interior where the finish leads, we will say plainly what each option costs you acoustically. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Supply
Getting it to Riyadh, with real dates
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Dammam, then road inland to Riyadh |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Dammam, then road |
| 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 Dammam, then road inland to Riyadh. 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.

Four honest warnings before you buy
-
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 Riyadh 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.
Riyadh: questions we are actually asked
Are these ceiling baffles and clouds made in Riyadh?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Riyadh as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Dammam, then road inland to Riyadh. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What changes the specification on a Riyadh job?
Dammam then several hundred kilometres by road. We quote the sea leg and the inland leg separately so the programme runs on real dates. Development-scale work means the same detail repeated across many buildings. Batch consistency matters more than the figure on any one sheet. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Is this the right material for Riyadh conditions?
Riyadh 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.
How quickly can material reach a site in Riyadh?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Dammam, then road inland to Riyadh, 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.
Is there a minimum order, and how does it arrive?
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.
