Steel Baffle Ceiling

Product Description

A baffle ceiling is a type of ceiling design featuring individual, suspended, or integrated panels (called baffles) that are arranged to create a visually appealing aesthetic while also providing sound-absorbing properties. Here's a general specification for baffle ceilings:

1. Material

• Types:

  • Wood: Plywood, MDF, or engineered wood for a natural aesthetic.

  • Metal: Aluminum, steel, or galvanized materials for a modern look.

  • Mineral Fiber: Acoustic panels used for sound control.

  • Acoustic Felt/Foam: For enhanced sound absorption in certain environments.

2. Dimensions

• Panel Size:

  • Width: 100 mm to 600 mm

  • Length: 600 mm to 2400 mm (custom sizes are available depending on the design requirements).

  • Thickness: 25 mm to 100 mm, depending on acoustic needs and visual preference.

3. Suspension System

• Suspension Height: Can be adjustable to varying heights, typically ranging from 300 mm to 1200 mm or more, depending on the design.

• System: Cables, rods, or grids to suspend the baffles from the ceiling. The suspension system is often designed to allow for easy adjustment and alignment.

4. Acoustic Performance

• NRC (Noise Reduction Coefficient): Typically ranging from 0.70 to 1.00, depending on the material used. High NRC values indicate better sound absorption.

• Class A Acoustic Rating: For high acoustic performance in offices, auditoriums, or music venues.

5. Finishes

• Wood: Natural wood finishes, veneers, or laminates.

• Metal: Powder-coated finishes, anodized finishes, or brushed steel.

• Fabric: Upholstered with custom fabric or acoustic material for a soft, sound-absorbing finish.

• Painted: Matte, gloss, or custom colors available.

6. Installation

• Ceiling Mounting: Suspended using ceiling grids or mounted directly onto the ceiling structure.

• Easy Maintenance: Some systems allow easy access to remove or replace individual panels for cleaning or maintenance.

7. Design Variations

• Linear Baffles: Long, horizontal baffles aligned in rows.

• Perforated Panels: To enhance the acoustic properties by allowing sound waves to penetrate through the material.

• Curved Baffles: Offering a more dynamic, sculptural aesthetic.

This specification is a basic guideline, and actual dimensions or materials may vary based on the manufacturer or project-specific requirements.
