Manufactured in India, supplied in Thrissur
PET felt acoustic panels in Thrissur
We manufacture PET felt acoustic panels at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Thrissur. Thrissur runs on events, retail and institutions, and all three need rooms where a large number of people can hear something clearly.

We are the manufacturer. There is no local office and we do not claim approvals we do not hold. What you get is factory pricing, one consistent batch across the order, and a straight answer on what the material will and will not do.
01 / The product
What this is, and what it changes in a Thrissur 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 Thrissur is mostly auditoriums and function halls, jewellery and retail floors, banks, colleges, hotels, clinics.
Independent houses with high ceilings, tile floors and open plan layouts built for heat and very heavy monsoon, which rules out anything that absorbs moisture.
- 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 Thrissur.
02 / Data sheet
The published figures, unchanged by location
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, 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 Thrissur 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 Thrissur do to the specification
- Humidity decides the material
PET felt does not hold moisture or feed mould, which matters where monsoon damp defeats mineral products within a few seasons.
- Halls full of people
A hall at full capacity behaves differently from an empty one. The design has to work when it is full, which is when it is being judged.
- Large retail floors
Tall, hard, brightly finished showrooms where staff talk to customers all day. Ceiling absorption does almost all of the work.
- Five to six days by road
A long run, confirmed before dispatch, with samples sent ahead.
- School and campus buildings
Schools and colleges are naturally ventilated with open corridors, so absorption alone will not fix intelligibility.
Architects working in Thrissur usually need the build-up before the product. We will draw the section and mark what does the work. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate
Durability in Thrissur, before acoustics is discussed
Thrissur 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.
Interior designers tend to arrive with the look already decided. We will tell you which finish gets there without losing the acoustics. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Supply
Getting it to Thrissur, with real dates
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | five to six days |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | five to six days |
| 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 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 we will tell you that a reseller will not
-
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.
-
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.
-
Local approvals that nobody actually holds
We hold no Thrissur certification and we will not borrow one. The test data we publish is ours, and we will send the reports rather than describe them.
Thrissur: questions we are actually asked
Where are the PET felt acoustic panels you supply to Thrissur actually made?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Thrissur as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Thrissur runs on events, retail and institutions, and all three need rooms where a large number of people can hear something clearly. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What do you look at first on a Thrissur enquiry?
A hall at full capacity behaves differently from an empty one. The design has to work when it is full, which is when it is being judged. Tall, hard, brightly finished showrooms where staff talk to customers all day. Ceiling absorption does almost all of the work. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Will this material last in the Thrissur climate?
Thrissur 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 does an order actually travel to Thrissur?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: five to six 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.
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.
What quantity do we have to order, and in what packaging?
