Manufactured in India, supplied in Siliguri
Ceiling baffles and clouds in Siliguri
We manufacture ceiling baffles and clouds at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Siliguri. Siliguri is the gateway to the Northeast and the hills, so a lot of what we ship here is onward bound to hotels and institutions beyond the city.

- 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 material
What you are buying, and what it fixes in Siliguri
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 Siliguri is mostly hotels and resorts, restaurants, hospitals, schools, offices, banquet halls.
Older masonry buildings and newer RC frame apartments with hard floors, in very dense neighbourhoods with heavy monsoon damp.
- 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 Siliguri.

02 / Specification sheet
Published specification, identical wherever we ship it
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

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 / Local conditions
What decides the build-up in Siliguri
- Humidity decides the material
PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould. In a damp climate that is the difference between a finish that lasts and one that sags in two seasons.
- A distribution point, not just a destination
Material often moves onward to the hills and the Northeast. We pack for a second leg on rougher roads when you tell us that is happening.
- Hotel guest rooms
Corridor noise and the next room generate the complaints. Door and wall detailing does that work, not the panel in the room.
- Three to four days by road
A dedicated truck from Palwal, with the schedule confirmed before dispatch rather than estimated after.
- School and campus buildings
Long established schools and colleges in masonry with high ceilings and very large class sizes.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Conditions
What the Siliguri climate rules in and rules out
Siliguri is warm and humid through most of the year, with a long wet season, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
Humidity is the deciding factor. PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which is why it outlasts fabric-wrapped mineral wool in this climate. Wood wool and timber need a ventilated cavity behind them.
The risk we design against here is mould, sagging fabric finishes and swelling in timber.
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 / Supply
How material reaches a Siliguri site
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | three to four days |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | three to four days |
| 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 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 fifteen hundred kilometres, normally three to four days on a dedicated truck.

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.
06 / Worth knowing
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 Siliguri 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.
Siliguri: questions we are actually asked
Are these ceiling baffles and clouds made in Siliguri?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Siliguri as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Siliguri is the gateway to the Northeast and the hills, so a lot of what we ship here is onward bound to hotels and institutions beyond the city. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What do you look at first on a Siliguri enquiry?
PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould. In a damp climate that is the difference between a finish that lasts and one that sags in two seasons. Material often moves onward to the hills and the Northeast. We pack for a second leg on rougher roads when you tell us that is happening. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Does Siliguri weather shorten the life of this material?
Siliguri is warm and humid through most of the year, with a long wet season. Humidity is the deciding factor. PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which is why it outlasts fabric-wrapped mineral wool in this climate. Wood wool and timber need a ventilated cavity behind them. The failure we design against here is mould, sagging fabric finishes and swelling in timber.
How quickly can material reach a site in Siliguri?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: three to four days, 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 ceiling baffles and clouds 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.
Is there a minimum order, and how does it arrive?
500 sq ft, about 46 sq m, across baffles and clouds together. 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.
