- 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 is, and what it changes in a Switzerland room
A rigid non-woven panel pressed from 100% polyester fibre, a large part of it recycled. It absorbs mid and high frequency energy and finishes as the visible surface, so it is both the acoustic layer and the finish.
Work reaching us from Switzerland is mostly apartments, offices, alpine hotels, schools, clinics, studios, timber buildings.
Concrete and masonry construction built to a high standard, with good mass and very hard internal finishes.
- Direct to wall Panel bonded or mechanically fixed flat to the substrate. Simplest, and the weakest at low frequency.
- On a 25 to 50 mm air gap The same panel on battens. The air gap moves absorption down in frequency at no extra material cost, and is the cheapest improvement available.
- Over a porous backing Panel over mineral or PET backing where the room needs genuine low mid control.
- What it will not do It absorbs. It does not block.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for PET felt panels are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Switzerland.
02 / Data sheet
The published figures, unchanged by location
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. Offices, classrooms, general commercial
- EchoPro 181800 GSM. Studios, auditoria, rooms with a written RT target
- EchoMax 222200 GSM. High occupancy and high level spaces

On a Switzerland job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.
03 / Local conditions
What the buildings in Switzerland do to the specification
- The tolerance is zero
If the sheet does not perform, you will find out and so will we. That is why we quote what the material does rather than what would win the order.
- Floor area is extremely expensive
Every centimetre a wall grows into the room is paid for. A dense membrane with a resilient break usually beats a thick framed build-up on both depth and cost.
- Timber construction at scale
Switzerland builds a lot in timber, and timber is light. Low frequency passes easily, so mass and decoupling do the work, not more absorption.
- Landlocked, so plan the inland leg
Rotterdam or Antwerp, then rail. We quote the sea leg and the inland leg separately so the programme runs on real dates.
- School and campus buildings
School buildings are built to a high standard with hard cleanable surfaces, so rooms stay live and intelligibility is the target.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Conditions
What the Switzerland climate rules in and rules out
Switzerland is cool and damp, with long heating seasons and cold external walls, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
Cold wall build-ups and long heating seasons mean interstitial condensation is a real risk behind any lining. PET felt is unaffected by damp air and will not feed mould where a fabric-faced mineral product would.
The risk we design against here is condensation behind linings in older, poorly insulated stock.
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
What the route into Switzerland actually looks like
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Rotterdam or Antwerp, then rail and road inland |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Rotterdam, then rail |
| Packing | Palletised flat and film wrapped, cut sheets interleaved. Packing list and weights issued with the quote. |
| Lead time | 4 to 7 working days for standard colours and thicknesses. Grooved and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order. |
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 Rotterdam or Antwerp, then rail and 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, because the price per panel and the freight per panel both fall sharply and a part load pays for space it does not use.
| Trial order | 200 panels, 6,400 sq ft, mixed thickness, GSM and colour |
|---|---|
| Recommended | Full container, for the best price per panel and the lowest freight per panel |
A panel is 1220 x 2440 mm, which is 32 sq ft.

The things worth knowing before you place the order
-
The wrong product for the problem
It absorbs. It does not block. A PET panel on a shared wall will make the room sound better and will not stop the neighbour being heard. If the brief is stopping noise passing through a wall or floor, the answer is mass and decoupling, and we will say so before quoting.
-
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.

Suppliers who imply a Switzerland 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.
Switzerland: questions we are actually asked
Are these PET felt acoustic panels made in Switzerland?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Switzerland as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and routed through Rotterdam or Antwerp, then rail inland. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
Why would a Switzerland build-up differ from anywhere else?
If the sheet does not perform, you will find out and so will we. That is why we quote what the material does rather than what would win the order. Every centimetre a wall grows into the room is paid for. A dense membrane with a resilient break usually beats a thick framed build-up on both depth and cost. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Switzerland climate affect this product?
Switzerland is cool and damp, with long heating seasons and cold external walls. Cold wall build-ups and long heating seasons mean interstitial condensation is a real risk behind any lining. PET felt is unaffected by damp air and will not feed mould where a fabric-faced mineral product would. The failure we design against here is condensation behind linings in older, poorly insulated stock.
How quickly can material reach a site in Switzerland?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Rotterdam or Antwerp, then rail and 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.
What should you not buy PET felt acoustic panels for?
It absorbs. It does not block. A PET panel on a shared wall will make the room sound better and will not stop the neighbour being heard. If the brief is stopping noise passing through a wall or floor, the answer is mass and decoupling, and we will say so before quoting.
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, because the price per panel and the freight per panel both fall sharply and a part load pays for space it does not use. Trial order, 200 panels, 6,400 sq ft, mixed thickness, GSM and colour. Recommended, Full container, for the best price per panel and the lowest freight per panel. A panel is 1220 x 2440 mm, which is 32 sq ft. Palletised flat and film wrapped, cut sheets interleaved. Packing list and weights issued with the quote.
Next step
Send a plan and a section, get a real build-up
We quote from drawings, not from a square foot rate. Send a plan and the section through the critical wall or ceiling and you will get something you can actually build from.
