01 / What it is
The product, described honestly, for a Taiwan brief
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 Taiwan is mostly manufacturing and measurement rooms, apartments, offices, hotels, schools, hospitals.
Reinforced concrete towers and older walk ups with hard tile floors, sitting very close together on narrow streets.
- 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 Taiwan.
02 / Specification
Published specification, identical wherever we ship it
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. Offices, classrooms, general commercial
- EchoPro 181800 GSM. Studios, auditoria, rooms with a written RT target
- EchoMax 222200 GSM. High occupancy and high level spaces

If a consultant has set the target, we will quote against their figures rather than ours, and stay out of the scope they own. More on working with acoustic consultants.

What decides the build-up in Taiwan
- Typhoons and humidity
PET felt does not hold moisture or feed mould, which matters through a humid season in a sealed room.
- Measurement rooms are unforgiving
A test or metrology space needs a genuinely low background before any reading means anything. That is isolation against a written target.
- Built to move
Seismic detailing means junctions that must stay flexible. An acoustic layer cannot bridge a movement joint rigidly.
- Dense apartment living
Concrete blocks where impact through the slab is the recurring complaint rather than airborne transfer.
- School and campus buildings
Classrooms are hard and naturally ventilated with long corridors and large assembly halls.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
04 / Conditions
Durability in Taiwan, before acoustics is discussed
Taiwan 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 Taiwan, start to site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Kaohsiung or Taipei, then road to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Kaohsiung |
| 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 Kaohsiung or Taipei, then road to site. 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.
06 / Worth knowing
Four honest warnings before you buy
-
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.
-
A number chased without a measurement
If nobody has measured the room or set a target, the specification is a guess with a decimal point in it. We will ask for the target before we quote the quantity.

Suppliers who imply a Taiwan 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.
Taiwan: questions we are actually asked
Are these PET felt acoustic panels made in Taiwan?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Taiwan as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Kaohsiung or Taipei, then road to site. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What changes the specification on a Taiwan job?
A test or metrology space needs a genuinely low background before any reading means anything. That is isolation against a written target. Seismic detailing means junctions that must stay flexible. An acoustic layer cannot bridge a movement joint rigidly. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Is this the right material for Taiwan conditions?
Taiwan 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.
How quickly can material reach a site in Taiwan?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Kaohsiung or Taipei, then road to site, 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 PET felt acoustic panels fail to help?
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.
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, 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.
