Acoustic Baffle Specifications

The Ultimate Guide to Sound Absorption

Acoustic baffles are an essential solution for controlling noise and enhancing sound quality in large spaces. These vertically suspended panels absorb echoes, reduce reverberation, and improve overall acoustic performance. Whether in offices, stadiums, or commercial environments, Altispace Acoustic Baffles help create a comfortable and productive atmosphere.

What are Acoustic Baffles?

Acoustic baffles are sound-absorbing panels made from PET felt acoustic material, a high-performance polyester-based fiber. These panels are designed to be hung from ceilings, allowing them to capture and dissipate unwanted sound waves. PET felt felt acoustic material, known for its durability and eco-friendly properties, offers a visually appealing finish while significantly improving acoustic comfort.

How do Acoustic Baffles work?

Acoustic baffles absorb airborne sound waves, preventing them from bouncing off hard surfaces and causing excessive noise. By installing baffles at regular intervals—approximately 300mm apart—spaces can achieve optimal noise reduction while maintaining an aesthetically pleasing design.

What is PET felt and Why is it used in Acoustic Baffles?

PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) is a type of polyester known for its lightweight, durable, and recyclable properties. Originally used in packaging, textiles, and containers, PET has become a preferred material for acoustic solutions due to its superior sound-absorbing capabilities.

Why is PET Called Polyester?

PET is chemically classified as a polyester. When used in fiber or fabric applications, it is commonly referred to as “polyester.” When used in acoustic panels and baffles, it is known as PET felt due to its soft yet dense texture that efficiently absorbs sound waves.

Why Choose PET Felt Acoustic Baffles?

• Sustainable and Eco-Friendly – Made from recycled polyester fibers
• Superior Sound Absorption – High NRC ratings for effective noise reduction
• Durability and Longevity – Resistant to wear and moisture
• Customizable Designs – Various sizes, colors, and thickness options available
• Easy Installation – Lightweight and quick to install using suspension hardware

When selecting Acoustic Baffles, understanding their specifications is essential to achieving the best acoustic performance for your space. With high NRC ratings, customizable sizes, and Class A fire ratings, PET Felt Baffles from Altispace provide an efficient and sustainable solution for noise control in commercial, educational, and public environments.
