A Complete Family of Acoustic Treatment Materials.
Architectural interiors often contain large areas of glass, concrete, plasterboard, metal and other hard finishes. These surfaces reflect sound back into the room, allowing speech and activity noise to remain audible for longer. Sound-absorbing materials introduce porous surfaces that help control these reflections and support a more comfortable acoustic environment.
Feltlite’s acoustic materials collection brings together exposed PET felt products, integrated ceiling solutions, flexible screens, fabrication boards and concealed insulation materials. The categories are organized by installation condition so architects, interior designers, contractors and product developers can move from a room problem to a practical material format.
No single acoustic panel material is right for every project. Product construction, exposed area, thickness, mounting, quantity and position all influence how treatment contributes to the room. Use this page as the starting point, then review the relevant category and product information before confirming a specification.
Where Does The Room Need Acoustic Treatment?
Choose the architectural area first. The available wall, ceiling or floor zone determines which product forms can be installed efficiently and how much absorptive surface can be introduced. From there, compare construction, mounting, coordination with building services and the level of customization required. Also consider the room use, ceiling height, existing reflective finishes and access for installation or maintenance. These conditions help determine whether the treatment should be wall-mounted, integrated into the ceiling, freely suspended, freestanding or supplied as material for further fabrication.
Eight Ways to Introduce Sound Absorption.
Each family is separated by form, installation logic and purchasing purpose—not simply by appearance. Use the collection to move from finished wall and ceiling products to raw fabrication material, concealed insulation or a fully custom acoustic component. Begin with where the treatment will be installed, then consider room use, available surface area, mounting conditions and the level of visual impact required. Each category provides a more focused starting point for comparing construction, customization options and project suitability.

Flat, grooved and slatted surfaces place absorption close to occupied areas while adding color, pattern and depth.

Absorptive panels and acoustic panel lighting coordinated with the ceiling grid, supporting structure, services and access requirements.

Repeated vertical elements expose both broad faces and create a strong ceiling rhythm beneath open or high structures.

Horizontal panels introduce absorption above a defined zone without constructing a complete suspended ceiling.

Movable, freestanding and desk-based elements provide localized absorption and visual separation for changing layouts.

Concealed materials used within wall and ceiling cavities as one layer of a properly coordinated building assembly.

Project-specific shape, thickness, color, fabrication, mounting and packaging developed around drawings or an OEM brief.
Form Follows The Acoustic Opportunity.
Begin with the available surfaces and installation conditions. Wall area, ceiling construction, access requirements and future layout changes will usually narrow the material category before color, pattern or shape is selected.
Next, consider how the treatment relates to the architecture. Wall panels serve occupied zones; baffles and clouds use open overhead space; integrated systems become part of the ceiling plane; and freestanding screens support flexible layouts.
The final choice should reflect room use, ceiling height, coverage, mounting structure, building services and maintenance access. Where performance targets or compliance documents are required, confirm the relevant construction and test information before finalizing the specification.
Place absorption close to speech and activity zones with flat, patterned or dimensional wall panels. Review furniture, glazing, doors and display requirements before defining panel coverage. A modular layout can provide a restrained background, while grooves, slats, printed graphics and relief forms can turn the treatment into a visible interior feature.
Use vertical baffles for a repeated directional field or horizontal clouds for broader suspended forms above selected zones. Confirm suspension height, structural fixing points and clearances around HVAC, sprinklers, detectors, luminaires and maintenance routes before finalizing the layout.
Select an integrated acoustic ceiling system when absorptive panels or acoustic panel lighting must become part of a defined ceiling plane. Coordinate module dimensions, support, access panels, lighting distribution and surrounding services as one reflected ceiling design rather than treating the acoustic product as an isolated accessory.
Add localized absorption with movable, freestanding or desk-based screens. These formats are useful where walls and ceilings cannot be permanently altered, or where teams, furniture and activity zones change over time. Screen dimensions should still respond to sightlines, stability and the intended level of enclosure.
Begin with acoustic boards and sheets when your own workshop will cut, print, laminate or integrate the PET felt. When the component requires more developed geometry, repeatable assembly, special packaging or private labeling, work with Feltlite on a finished custom acoustic material or OEM solution.
From Acoustic Board to Architectural Element.
PET felt is a lightweight, tactile base for exposed acoustic applications. Its combination of acoustic porosity and fabrication flexibility allows one base material to become wall panels, ceiling elements, baffles, screens, furniture components and branded features.
Cut it, groove it, layer it, fold it, print it or form it into products ranging from quiet background surfaces to large suspended features. The appropriate thickness and construction depend on the intended form, span, edge condition, fixing method and performance requirement.

Compare The Details That Affect The Finished Result.
Category names are only a starting point. A reliable specification also considers material construction, installed area, fixing method, fire requirements and the documents needed for approval. Acoustic performance should be reviewed alongside panel thickness, air gap, edge treatment and integration with surrounding building services. Confirming these details early helps reduce installation conflicts, supports accurate quotations and keeps the finished result consistent with the design intent.

Acoustic Performance
Review available test data in relation to the product construction and mounting condition. Do not use one material NRC figure as a guaranteed result for every finished product or room.

Material & Finish
Confirm PET felt thickness, density, color, surface finish, edge treatment and any layering, grooving, printing or forming required by the design.

Fire & Environmental Data
Identify the standards and documentation required for the destination market early so the correct material and product configuration can be reviewed.

Mounting & Coordination
Check substrate, suspension, ceiling structure, access, tolerances and coordination with lighting, HVAC, sprinklers and other building services.
One Material Family. Different Spatial Roles.
The same acoustic material can serve very different purposes depending on the activity, scale and level of occupancy. Compare how wall, ceiling and freestanding treatments can be combined for workplaces, education, hospitality, public interiors and specialist rooms. The available surfaces, ceiling height, furniture layout and need for future change will help determine which product forms are most practical. Using more than one treatment type can also distribute absorption across the room while maintaining a consistent material and color language.

FOCUS · MEET · COLLABORATE
Balance the sound of shared work.
Open workplaces contain focused desks, meeting tables, circulation and informal collaboration within one connected interior. Combine wall panels, ceiling treatment and freestanding screens according to the activity and available surfaces in each zone, while coordinating color and geometry across the wider design.

LISTEN · LEARN · PARTICIPATE
Support clearer learning environments.
Classrooms, libraries, commons and collaborative learning spaces place different demands on speech clarity, durability and visual stimulation. Select wall or ceiling treatment according to room volume, teaching layout and the surfaces that can remain safely accessible.

MEET · DINE · STAY
Make conversation part of the experience.
Restaurants, lounges, hotels and reception environments must balance conversation comfort with a strong visual identity. Use color, repeated forms and localized overhead treatment to make acoustic material part of the interior concept instead of a corrective afterthought.

GATHER · MOVE · EXPERIENCE
Scale acoustic material with the architecture.
Public and cultural interiors combine large volumes, circulation, changing occupancy and prominent sightlines. Coordinate scalable wall, baffle or cloud systems with high ceilings, structural fixing points, building services and the visual rhythm of the architecture.

RECORD · CREATE · REVIEW
Shape a more controlled listening space.
Studios and media rooms may require more frequency-specific planning than general commercial interiors. Combine exposed treatment and assembly-based materials according to the room use, monitoring position and required level of control, with specialist acoustic input where appropriate.
Absorption Is Not Soundproofing.
Most products in this collection manage reflected sound inside a room. They can help reduce reverberation and control the build-up of speech and activity noise when installed in suitable quantities and positions.
Reducing sound transfer between rooms is a different objective. Sound isolation depends on the complete wall, floor or ceiling assembly—including mass, airtightness, junctions, doors, glazing and penetrations. Define these two goals separately before selecting materials.
Need More Than A Standard Panel?
Bring us a concept image, technical drawing, target dimension or material brief. Feltlite can review the material construction, fabrication process, edge condition, fixing idea and packing requirement needed to translate it into a repeatable acoustic product or component. Early discussion helps identify constraints before sampling and production, while keeping design intent, manufacturing efficiency and installation requirements aligned.
Design Flexibility, Grounded In Production.
Feltlite works across standard acoustic products, project modifications and OEM development. This makes it possible to keep design, material conversion and production decisions connected instead of treating them as separate hand-offs.
For customers comparing acoustic material manufacturers, the practical value lies in how clearly a concept can move through feasibility review, sampling, specification confirmation, production and delivery—not in the number of decorative shapes shown in a catalogue.
Questions to Resolve Before You Specify.
Short answers to the category and performance questions commonly raised during early project discussions.
Acoustic materials influence how sound behaves within a room or building assembly. Exposed porous products primarily absorb reflected sound, while insulation and construction layers contribute to the performance of a complete assembly.
Wall panels are fixed vertically, baffles are normally suspended vertically with both faces exposed, and clouds are suspended horizontally. The available surface and architectural condition usually determine the best starting format.
No. Feltlite Acoustic Ceiling Systems are absorptive panels and acoustic panel lighting integrated into a defined ceiling system. Baffles and clouds remain separate suspended categories.
Exposed acoustic panels normally reduce reflections inside the room. They do not by themselves stop sound passing through walls, floors, doors or ceilings; sound isolation depends on the full construction.
Provide the product category or reference image, dimensions, color, quantity, installation location, required documents, delivery destination and schedule. Drawings are especially useful for custom and system-based enquiries.
There is no universal best acoustic material. PET felt, mineral fibre, fibreglass, foam and other porous absorbers have different constructions and applications. For commercial interiors, selection should consider tested performance, available area, durability, weight, finish, installation method, fire requirements and maintenance—not material name alone.
NRC is a single-number summary of sound absorption measured across a defined frequency range. It can help with an initial comparison, but the test specimen, thickness, mounting and air space matter. Ask for the relevant test information and do not assume one NRC value applies to every size or finished configuration.
The required quantity depends on room volume, existing finishes, occupancy, activity, target reverberation time and the absorption provided by the selected construction. Floor-area percentages are only rough starting points. Projects with a formal acoustic target should use room-specific calculations or an acoustic consultant.
Use the surfaces that provide meaningful exposed area without conflicting with the interior layout. Wall panels are useful near occupied zones and on parallel reflective walls. Ceiling systems, baffles and clouds are practical when wall space is glazed, furnished or reserved for displays. Many rooms benefit from a coordinated combination.
An air space behind or above some porous absorbers can change their absorption performance, but the result depends on the complete tested mounting arrangement. Do not apply a generic improvement factor. Confirm the intended fixing method and use data relevant to that construction where performance documentation is required.
Both can be porous sound absorbers, but they differ in appearance, rigidity, fabrication, durability and available documentation. PET felt is commonly selected for visible architectural panels, baffles, clouds and screens because it can form crisp components, accept patterns and provide a broad color palette. Product-specific performance and fire data should still be checked.
Depending on the product and order requirements, Feltlite can review custom dimensions, thicknesses, colors, CNC-cut patterns, grooves, printed graphics, layered or formed construction, mounting details, labeling and packaging. Feasibility, tolerances, minimum quantity and sampling should be confirmed for each request.
Document availability depends on the selected material, product construction and applicable standard. Tell Feltlite the destination market and the exact fire, VOC, recycled-content or environmental documents required before specification so the relevant configuration can be checked.
Many wall panels, suspended clouds, baffles and freestanding screens can be considered for existing interiors because they add treatment without rebuilding every surface. A retrofit survey should still check substrate condition, suspension structure, ceiling services, access, dimensions and installation sequence.
Maintenance depends on the surface finish, color, location and type of contamination. Routine dust removal should use a gentle method that does not distort the felt. Test any cleaning process on an inconspicuous area and follow product-specific care guidance; do not assume aggressive chemicals or wet cleaning are suitable.
Yes. Acoustic Boards & Sheets are intended for customers who will cut, laminate, print or integrate the material into their own products. Provide the required sheet dimensions, thickness, color, quantity and intended fabrication process so Feltlite can identify an appropriate starting material.
What Are You Designing?
Share your room information, drawings or reference images. Feltlite will help identify the most relevant material family and the questions that must be resolved before quotation.
Include the room type, approximate dimensions, available treatment area, preferred format, color, quantity, delivery location and required documentation. For ceiling and custom systems, reflected ceiling plans or component drawings provide a much stronger starting point.
