Manufactured in India, supplied in Vienna
Ceiling baffles and clouds in Vienna
We manufacture ceiling baffles and clouds 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.

- 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
The material, and what it actually does on a Vienna 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 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.
- 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 Vienna.

02 / Data sheet
The published figures, unchanged by location
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

If a consultant has set the target, we will quote against their figures rather than ours, and stay out of the scope they own. More on working with acoustic consultants.
03 / In this market
What the buildings in Vienna do to the specification
- 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.
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 / Durability
The Vienna climate decides the material list
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
What the route into Vienna actually looks like
| 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 | 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 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.
The same 500 sq ft minimum applies on export.
| 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.
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.
-
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.
-
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.
Vienna: questions we are actually asked
Is there a Vienna 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 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.
Why would a Vienna build-up differ from anywhere else?
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.
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.
Is there a minimum order, and how does it arrive?
The same 500 sq ft minimum applies on export. 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.
