Acoustic ceiling baffles.

A felt blade that hangs on edge from the ceiling, usually in rows. From below you see a line, and from across the room you see its faces, so a run of baffles brings depth and rhythm overhead while the felt softens sound in the space. Our baffles are PET felt, made from 75% post-consumer recycled PET and fire rated Class B-s1,d0 to BS EN 13501-1:2018.

Yes. Sound baffles, acoustic baffles and ceiling baffles all mean the same thing: felt blades hung on edge below the ceiling to soften echo in the room. You may also see them called acoustic fins or hanging baffles.

A blade baffle hangs on edge, so you see a line from below, and suits long rooms and high ceilings. A grid baffle is blades that lock together into an open grid, hung as one sculpted piece over a set area. A raft hangs flat, so you see its face, and suits a single zone such as a meeting table. See our ceiling rafts and grid baffles, or read the three types of acoustic ceiling.

A set of 12mm felt panels that slot together into one interlocking grid and hang below the ceiling on wires. Many are shaped underneath, into ripples, valleys, domes or a pyramid drop, so the grid reads as one sculpted feature. Each kit covers a set area, from about 1.2m rounds to 2.4m squares. See our grid baffles.

A kit is eight blades cut to one of our six forms, with everything to hang them. One kit covers 2400 x 2120mm in 12mm or 2400 x 2125mm in 24mm, with blades at 300mm centres. You can order up to three kits online. Rectangle blades are plain blades for long runs, ordered by quantity: 300 or 600mm deep, in lengths from 1200 to 2400mm, in 12mm or 24mm.

Drape has a soft, even wave along its lower edge. Ruche has an irregular, rolling wave, so the ceiling reads as a loose ripple. Shear has a single straight taper and Twill pairs a steep taper with a shallow one. Crease has one crisp angle, like a fold in fabric, and Crimp has two, for a zig-zag.

In a kit, each blade slots into an aluminium top rail, and two wires per blade run from grippers on the rail to the ceiling anchors. 12mm kits use silver rails and 24mm kits black. Rectangle blades come with ceiling wires that fix to the top edge. Grid kits are assembled into one grid first, then hang from 2 to 4 pairs of 1 metre wires. Wire length sets the drop. Every grid kit has free assembly instructions.

Yes, they soften echo in meeting rooms and other rooms with hard surfaces and high ceilings. 24mm board tested with a 200mm or 400mm air gap gives NRC 0.90, which is Class A by our calculation. Flat with no air gap, 24mm is Class D (αw 0.50) and 12mm is Class D (αw 0.30). Figures are per square metre of board, and a hung blade has both faces open to the room.

From independent laboratory tests to the standards we name: BS EN 13501-1 for fire, and EN ISO 354 and ASTM C423 for sound absorption. Every figure on our product pages and data sheets comes from those results, with the mounting stated.

Every baffle and kit is made to order and dispatched in approx. 10 working days. Delivery is free to UK mainland addresses on orders over £50. The felt carries a 10-year guarantee and the rails and wires 2 years.
