Ceiling Baffles & Blades

Baffles and blades refer to acoustical ceiling treatments made of flat planks or blades of acoustic material. Also commonly called baffles, acoustical vertical panels are suspended from the ceiling in series to create a repeating, rhythmic composition to improve the sound of an interior space. Baffles and blades can be incredibly simple in design with flat boards and square edges, or they can be modified to better suit your design vision and the brand of your space.

How Acoustic Baffles and Blades Control Reverberation

Acoustic ceiling treatments like baffles are incredibly versatile solutions for interior spaces with poor acoustics. These suspended features are hung in series to create canopies of lightweight acoustic material, helping control noise via sound absorption while making your space look great. But how exactly does that sound absorption work?

Sound waves that echo throughout a room will continue to reflect from hard surfaces, losing a small amount of energy each time they reflect – the harder the surface, the more reflection (and louder echo) caused. Acoustic blades are made of a soft acoustic felt material that allows sound waves to penetrate into the fibers, but only a tiny percentage of that sound energy is able to escape. Most of the sound wave energy is instead converted into silent vibration of the panels.

Individually suspended baffles and blades also give you the flexibility to scale the presence of acoustic products to your noise control needs. During installation, a larger number of panels can be suspended to increase the overall surface area, increasing the overall likelihood of sound waves colliding with the acoustic material.
