Manufactured in India, supplied in Tirupati
Ceiling baffles and clouds in Tirupati
We manufacture ceiling baffles and clouds at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Tirupati. Tirupati handles crowds at a scale almost nowhere else does, and that changes what a hall, a queue complex and a guest room have to do.
- Material
- 100% PET non-woven, the panel family
- Thickness
- 9 to 24 mm
- Size
- Made to the drawing, standard and custom
- Exposure
- Both faces work, which is why suspended area outperforms the same area laid flat
- Test standard
- ASTM C423
- Lead time
- Confirmed against the drawing
- Minimum order
- 500 sq ft, about 46 sq m
- ASTM C423
- Made at our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, India
- One batch across the order, no blending between runs
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 / Start here
What this is, and what it changes in a Tirupati room
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 Tirupati is mostly queue and assembly complexes, dining halls, guest accommodation, hotels, hospitals, offices.
RC frame houses and apartments with hard floors, in towns where units share walls and slabs.
- 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 Tirupati.

02 / Data sheet
The numbers, and they do not move by city
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, retail, general
- EchoPro 181800 GSM. Halls, atria, spaces with a target
- EchoMax 222200 GSM. High volume and high occupancy

On a Tirupati job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.
03 / What drives the brief
The Tirupati conditions that change the answer
- Designed for continuous crowds
Rooms occupied at capacity around the clock. Announcements have to be understood over a crowd, which is an intelligibility problem first.
- Hard masonry everywhere
Stone, tile and concrete with nothing soft in the room, so reverberation is long and speech suffers.
- Accommodation at volume
Guest rooms in blocks where corridor noise and the next room cause the complaints, not the room itself.
- Four to five days by road
A long run, confirmed before dispatch, with samples sent ahead of the order.
- School and campus buildings
Large school and college campuses in concrete and tile, with halls carrying assembly and examination duty.
Architects working in Tirupati 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 / Conditions
What the Tirupati climate rules in and rules out
Tirupati 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.
For a Tirupati interior where the finish leads, we will say plainly what each option costs you acoustically. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Logistics
How material reaches a Tirupati site
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | four to five days |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | four to five 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 twenty hundred kilometres, normally four to five days on a dedicated truck.
500 sq ft, about 46 sq m, across baffles and clouds together.

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 / Straight talk
Where this goes wrong, said plainly
-
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.

A claim of being local to Tirupati
We manufacture in India and supply here. We do not run an office in this city and we will not pretend to, because you would find out on the first site visit.
Tirupati: questions we are actually asked
Where are the ceiling baffles and clouds you supply to Tirupati actually made?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Tirupati as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Tirupati handles crowds at a scale almost nowhere else does, and that changes what a hall, a queue complex and a guest room have to do. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What changes the specification on a Tirupati job?
Rooms occupied at capacity around the clock. Announcements have to be understood over a crowd, which is an intelligibility problem first. Stone, tile and concrete with nothing soft in the room, so reverberation is long and speech suffers. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
How does the Tirupati climate affect this product?
Tirupati 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 Tirupati?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: four to five 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 ceiling baffles and clouds fail to help?
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.
What is the minimum order and how is it packed?
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.

A plan and a section is enough. We will come back with a build-up, a BOQ and a delivered date, and we will say so if what you are asking for will not work.
