Manufactured in India, supplied in Thailand
Acoustic panels in Thailand
We manufacture acoustic panels at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Thailand. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Laem Chabang, then road to site, with the inland leg quoted rather than left out.
- 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
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.
01 / The product
What you are buying, and what it fixes in Thailand
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 Thailand is mostly industrial estates and plant, resorts and hotels, offices, hospitals, schools, studios.
Concrete frame with block infill and hard tile floors throughout. Condominium party walls and slabs pass impact noise directly.
- 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 Thailand.

02 / Specification
Published specification, identical wherever we ship it
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

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 / On the ground
What we see driving Thailand briefs
- Heat and humidity all year
PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which matters where mineral products sag in a tropical climate.
- Two different markets
Industrial estate work is enclosure and mass. Resort work is guest room isolation and function room acoustics. We quote them differently because they are different problems.
- Cooling plant never stops
Large continuous cooling loads next to occupied space generate more complaints than anything happening inside the room.
- Resort programmes have fixed dates
Openings do not move. We give honest dispatch and transit windows rather than optimistic ones.
- School and campus buildings
Classrooms are hard and naturally ventilated, open to traffic and corridor noise, with large class sizes pushing levels up.
- The studio and content scene
A large content and music production scene works out of rooms inside commercial buildings with thin partitions.
For a Thailand practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
04 / Conditions
What the Thailand climate rules in and rules out
Thailand 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.
Designers get colour, pattern and CNC options with the absorption figure attached to each. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Getting it there
How material reaches a Thailand site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Laem Chabang, then road to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Laem Chabang |
| 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 Laem Chabang, 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.
| 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 / Before you buy
Where this goes wrong, said plainly
-
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.
-
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 Thailand 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.

Thailand: questions we are actually asked
Where are the acoustic panels you supply to Thailand actually made?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Thailand as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and shipped into Laem Chabang, then road to site, with the inland leg quoted rather than left out. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What changes the specification on a Thailand job?
Industrial estate work is enclosure and mass. Resort work is guest room isolation and function room acoustics. We quote them differently because they are different problems. PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould, which matters where mineral products sag in a tropical climate. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Thailand climate affect this product?
Thailand 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 Thailand?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Laem Chabang, 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.
What should you not buy acoustic panels for?
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.
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. 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.

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.
