What is PET felt?
PET felt is a material made from recycled plastic bottles. The bottles are broken down into fibres, which are then heated and pressed into strong, dense panels. It has a soft texture, a clean modern look, and naturally absorbs sound. It's lightweight, durable, and available in a wide range of colours.
What is PET felt made from?
Our PET felt is made from 75% post-consumer recycled plastic bottles. The remaining 25% is new polyester fibre, which helps bind the material and maintain its structure.
Is PET felt sustainable?
Yes. Every panel is made from recycled plastic bottles that would otherwise end up in landfill. Once a PET felt product reaches the end of its life, it can be recycled again, supporting a circular economy.
Is PET felt safe?
PET felt is certified Class B-s1,d0 to BS EN 13501-1:2018, which means it has very low smoke production and no flaming droplets in the event of fire. It's non-toxic, non-irritant, and safe to handle without gloves or protective equipment.
Does PET felt absorb sound?
Yes. PET felt absorbs sound, which softens echo and reverberation in a busy room. How much it absorbs depends less on thickness and more on how it is fitted. Fixed flat against a wall it takes the edge off a room. With an air gap behind it, or suspended overhead as a baffle or raft, it absorbs more. The tested figure for each board is on its spec sheet.
Does PET felt help keen a room warm?
A little. PET felt holds some warmth, so it can take the chill off a room, but it is chosen for its finish and for the way it absorbs sound. The tested thermal figure is on each spec sheet.
