Ceiling baffles and clouds in Trivandrum
We manufacture ceiling baffles and clouds at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Trivandrum. Trivandrum is government and technology in a humid coastal climate, and it is the furthest point in the country from our plant.
- 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 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 / What it is
The material, and what it actually does on a Trivandrum job
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 Trivandrum is mostly government and institutional buildings, technology park offices, hospitals, colleges, hotels, auditoriums.
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.
- 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 Trivandrum.

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, retail, general
- EchoPro 181800 GSM. Halls, atria, spaces with a target
- EchoMax 222200 GSM. High volume and high occupancy

Where a consultant is already engaged on a Trivandrum project, we supply to their specification and send the test reports rather than describing them. More on working with acoustic consultants.
03 / On the ground
What the buildings in Trivandrum do to the specification
- Humidity decides the material
PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould. On this coast that is the whole selection argument.
- Technology park floors
Open plans with glass and hard flooring that carry every call across the room.
- Our longest domestic run
Six days by road. We confirm dates before dispatch and send samples ahead so nothing is decided at the last moment.
- Institutional assembly spaces
Large halls in concrete where speech stops being intelligible well before the room sounds wrong.
- School and campus buildings
Schools and colleges are naturally ventilated with open corridors, so absorption alone will not fix intelligibility.
Architects working in Trivandrum 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 / Durability
What the Trivandrum climate rules in and rules out
Trivandrum 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 / Route to site
What the route into Trivandrum actually looks like
| Made at | Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana |
|---|---|
| Reaches site in | six days |
| Dispatch | 2 to 4 working days |
| To site | six 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 six hundred kilometres, normally six days on a dedicated truck. It is the longest domestic run we operate.
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 / Before you buy
Four honest warnings before you buy
-
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 Trivandrum
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.
Trivandrum: questions we are actually asked
Is there a Trivandrum factory behind this product?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Trivandrum as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Trivandrum is government and technology in a humid coastal climate, and it is the furthest point in the country from our plant. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What changes the specification on a Trivandrum job?
Six days by road. We confirm dates before dispatch and send samples ahead so nothing is decided at the last moment. PET felt does not absorb moisture, shed fibre or feed mould. On this coast that is the whole selection argument. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Does Trivandrum weather shorten the life of this material?
Trivandrum 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 Trivandrum?
made at: Our own plant, Palwal, Haryana, reaches site in: 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.
What should you not buy ceiling baffles and clouds for?
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.
