Manufactured in India, supplied in Vienna
Acoustic panels in Vienna
We manufacture acoustic panels at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply them into Vienna. Made at our own plant in India and routed through Koper or Hamburg, then rail and road into the city, with the inland leg written into the dates we quote.
- 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
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 / Start here
The product, described honestly, for a Vienna brief
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 Vienna is mostly gründerzeit apartments, offices, studios, restaurants, clinics, schools, hotels.
Gruenderzeit blocks have solid masonry walls and timber joist floors, so footfall carries even where airborne noise does not. Newer stock is concrete and much harder inside.
- 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 Vienna.

02 / The numbers
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. General commercial
- EchoPro 181800 GSM. Rooms with a written RT target
- EchoMax 222200 GSM. High occupancy and high level spaces

On a Vienna job with a consultant involved, our part is material that matches the submitted data. See working with acoustic consultants.
03 / On the ground
What we see driving Vienna briefs
- Gründerzeit rooms are tall and hard
High ceilings and lime plaster hold sound for a long time. A room can look perfect and still be unusable for speech until something absorbent goes high on the wall or across the ceiling.
- Timber floors between apartments
Footfall travels down through the joists into the flat below. A resilient layer under the finish does far more than anything applied to the ceiling underneath.
- Quiet hours are taken seriously
Neighbour complaints here are not shrugged off. The isolation layer is what protects a home studio, a practice room or a late venue from becoming somebody else problem.
- Trams and the Ring
Ground level trams and traffic put low frequency into the structure. Panels on a wall will not touch it, and we will say so rather than sell them.
- School and campus buildings
School and university rooms are built to a high standard with hard surfaces, and lecture spaces need intelligibility over a long tail.
- The studio and content scene
A strong classical and recording tradition means measured targets are expected rather than adjectives.
For a Vienna practice, the useful thing is a detail you can put in a drawing set, not a brochure. See how we support architects.
04 / Climate and durability
What the Vienna climate rules in and rules out
Vienna is cool and damp, with long heating seasons and cold external walls, and that narrows the sensible material list before acoustics is even discussed.
Cold wall build-ups and long heating seasons mean interstitial condensation is a real risk behind any lining. PET felt is unaffected by damp air and will not feed mould where a fabric-faced mineral product would.
The risk we design against here is condensation behind linings in older, poorly insulated stock.
Designers get colour, pattern and CNC options with the absorption figure attached to each. See how we work with interior designers.
05 / Logistics
How material reaches a Vienna site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Koper or Hamburg, then rail and road into Vienna |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea via Koper or Hamburg |
| 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 Koper or Hamburg, then rail and road into Vienna. 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 / Straight talk
What we will tell you that a reseller will not
-
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.
-
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 Vienna
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.

The material in real interiors
Vienna: questions we are actually asked
Do you manufacture acoustic panels in Vienna?
No, and we will not say otherwise. We manufacture at our own plant at Palwal in Haryana, India, and supply into Vienna as the manufacturer rather than through a dealer. Made at our own plant in India and routed through Koper or Hamburg, then rail and road into the city, with the inland leg written into the dates we quote. You buy at factory prices with one consistent batch across the order.
What changes the specification on a Vienna job?
High ceilings and lime plaster hold sound for a long time. A room can look perfect and still be unusable for speech until something absorbent goes high on the wall or across the ceiling. Footfall travels down through the joists into the flat below. A resilient layer under the finish does far more than anything applied to the ceiling underneath. Those two things move the build-up far more than the panel figure does.
Does Vienna weather shorten the life of this material?
Vienna is cool and damp, with long heating seasons and cold external walls. Cold wall build-ups and long heating seasons mean interstitial condensation is a real risk behind any lining. PET felt is unaffected by damp air and will not feed mould where a fabric-faced mineral product would. The failure we design against here is condensation behind linings in older, poorly insulated stock.
How quickly can material reach a site in Vienna?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Koper or Hamburg, then rail and road into Vienna, 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 acoustic panels fail to help?
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.
What is the minimum order and how is it packed?
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.
