Manufactured in India, supplied in Romania
Acoustic panels in Romania
We manufacture acoustic panels at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Romania. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Constanța, the largest port on the Black Sea, then road inland.
- 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
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.

What this is, and what it changes in a Romania 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 Romania is mostly automotive and manufacturing plants, offices and service centres, panel block housing, schools, hospitals.
Communist era panel blocks with concrete walls and no impact isolation, plus new concrete towers with hard finishes.
- 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 Romania.

02 / Specification sheet
One specification sheet, the same in every market
These figures are published and they do not move. The thing worth arguing about is not the number on the sheet, it is which grade and which build-up suits the room you are treating.
- EchoCore 151500 GSM. General commercial
- EchoPro 181800 GSM. Rooms with a written RT target
- EchoMax 222200 GSM. High occupancy and high level spaces

Where a consultant is already engaged on a Romania 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
The Romania conditions that change the answer
- Constanța is a major port
Direct sailings and good onward road connections make this one of the easier routes into central Europe.
- Manufacturing plant noise
Presses, robots and compressors are low frequency and structure-borne. Enclosure at the source rather than absorption on a far wall.
- Panel block housing
Prefabricated concrete passes speech and footfall between flats through thin connected elements. Mass is the only reliable answer.
- Service centre floors
Large rooms full of people on calls, where privacy rather than echo is the real problem.
- School and campus buildings
School buildings are hard surfaced with long corridors and gymnasiums doubling as assembly halls.
- The studio and content scene
A growing film and content sector fitting rooms into existing commercial and residential buildings.
If you are specifying for a Romania project, we can give you a section, a BOQ and the honest limits of each layer. See how we support architects.
04 / Durability
Why the climate in Romania changes the material, not the target
Romania is cold winters and warm summers, with a wide annual temperature range, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
A wide annual swing stresses adhesive fixings and moves timber. Mechanical fixing beats adhesive alone, and PET felt is stable across the range.
The risk we design against here is adhesive failure and timber movement across the annual swing.
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 / Logistics
Supply into Romania, start to site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Constanța, then road inland |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Constanța |
| 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 Constanța, then road inland. 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
What we will tell you that a reseller will not
-
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.
-
Coverage bought instead of a target
Lining every surface is a purchase, not a result. We would rather calculate the area against a reverberation target and sell you less of it.

A claim of being local to Romania
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.

Romania: questions we are actually asked
Do you manufacture acoustic panels in Romania?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Romania as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Constanța, the largest port on the Black Sea, then road inland. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
Why would a Romania build-up differ from anywhere else?
Direct sailings and good onward road connections make this one of the easier routes into central Europe. Presses, robots and compressors are low frequency and structure-borne. Enclosure at the source rather than absorption on a far wall. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Is this the right material for Romania conditions?
Romania is cold winters and warm summers, with a wide annual temperature range. A wide annual swing stresses adhesive fixings and moves timber. Mechanical fixing beats adhesive alone, and PET felt is stable across the range. The failure we design against here is adhesive failure and timber movement across the annual swing.
How does an order actually travel to Romania?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Constanța, then road inland, 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.
When are acoustic panels the wrong purchase?
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.
Is there a minimum order, and how does it arrive?
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.
