Felt acoustic panels are sound-absorbing treatments made primarily from compressed, recycled PET (polyethylene terephthalate) fibers, known for their sustainability, durability, and effectiveness in reducing echo and ambient noise. They are a versatile solution for improving acoustics in various indoor spaces.
Key Characteristics and Benefits
· Material: Most panels are made from PET felt, often comprising at least 50% post-consumer recycled plastic bottles, making them an eco-friendly option.
· Acoustic Performance: Felt panels effectively absorb sound waves, with Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) ratings often ranging from 0.75 up to 0.90 or more, depending on thickness and installation method.
· Aesthetics and Versatility: They are available in a wide range of colors, shapes (square, hexagonal, rectangular, 3D curved), and sizes, allowing for creative and decorative installations on walls and ceilings.
· Durability and Safety: They are lightweight, impact-resistant, moisture-resistant, and often fire-retardant (meeting specific safety standards).
· Ease of Installation: Many felt panels feature simple installation methods like adhesives, Z-clips, or direct attachment with screws, making them suitable for DIY projects and retrofits.
