Improving Large Spaces with Acoustical Ceiling Baffles
We offer a full range of acoustical baffle types—including semi-rigid fiberglass, rigid fiberglass, acoustic foam, and PET (polyester) baffles. Each type is tailored to suit different performance, durability, and design needs, and all are available in custom sizes, colors, and mounting options to fit the unique needs of your space.
Ceiling baffles are vertically oriented acoustical treatments that are suspended from the ceiling to absorb sound from both sides. By disrupting sound reflections and increasing the absorptive surface area in a room, baffles effectively reduce reverberation time and noise buildup. They’re particularly beneficial in spaces with high ceilings and limited wall area, where traditional wall-mounted panels may not provide sufficient sound control.
Baffles are available in multiple material types:
Semi-Rigid Fiberglass Baffles: Lightweight, durable, and highly effective. Available with PVC, sailcloth, or fabric facings.
Rigid Fiberglass Baffles: Offer a sleek aesthetic with fabric finishes like Guilford of Maine FR701 and Anchorage. Excellent NRC values.
Foam Baffles: Made from acoustic foam, these baffles are lightweight, easy to install, and can be cut into creative shapes and painted.
PET Baffles: Sustainable, made from recycled polyester fibers. Offer both performance and design flexibility with a variety of colors and shapes.
Benefits of Ceiling-Hung Acoustic Baffles
One of the biggest advantages of ceiling baffles is their dual-sided exposure to sound, meaning each panel contributes twice the absorptive surface area of a wall-mounted panel of the same size. This makes them a powerful solution in large volume spaces where echo and reverberation are major concerns.
They are also highly customizable. Baffles can be fabricated in standard 2' x 4' sizes or made to custom dimensions and contours. Material options allow for fire-rated, moisture-resistant, or decorative finishes depending on the environment. From durable PVC for gymnasiums to designer fabrics in performing arts spaces, baffles can blend into or enhance the aesthetic of the room.
Installation is simple and adaptable. Baffles can be suspended via aircraft cable, chains, ceiling grid mounts, or direct rod suspension. This allows for flexible alignment patterns, whether evenly spaced rows or artistic, staggered layouts.
