CEILING BAFFLE SYSTEM

Acoustics play an integral role in any environment. DFB has developed various sound absorbing techniques including our Baffle system, which offers both a decorative and highly functional solution to noise reduction. This application is suspended from the ceiling and can be installed in a multitude of patterns.

When wrapped in fabric, Panel-Tex Baffles offer a 1.0 Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) rating.

Substrate

DFB recommends our Quiet-Core substrate. Quiet-Core is a thermal acoustical insulation made from inorganic glass mineral wool. Quiet-Core has excellent sound absorption characteristics, is formaldehyde free, and is manufactured with 20% post-consumer recovered materials. Quiet-Core meets ASTM E84, ASTM 5166, & ASTM D6196 standards.

Fabric

DFB’s Ceiling Baffle System falls under the Panel-Tex umbrella allowing for a very similar manufacturing process. Baffles are hand wrapped by DFB’s qualified technicians and arrive on site ready to be installed. This product is compatible with nearly all fabric manufacturers.
