This solution is extremely DIY friendly project - simply attach the panel to the wall with adhesive.

Each sheet is 3x3' (36 inches x 36 inches), and is offered in 0.75" and 1" thick. The 0.75" is great for the average home owner, but if you want to go that extra mile, you can't go wrong with the 1".

Acoustic design has long been considered an important part of architecture. Over time, designers, architects and building owners have tried a variety of methods and materials to help control echoes and sound in both residential and commercial spaces.

The earliest efforts involved dropped ceiling panels that were typically made of asbestos, cellulose and other materials designed to help dampen sound. They were cost-effective and highly efficient at helping to control noise.

Today’s acoustic materials, however, blend form and function to create spaces that are both aesthetically pleasing and acoustically comfortable.

What Is PET Felt?

“U of A” Phoenix, AZ, CO Architects, Taube Photography, Featuring: SoftFold® by Arktura

Polyethylene terephthalate, better known as PET felt, is a unique material. Strong and sturdy, it is better at controlling acoustics than drop ceiling panels.

PET felt looks and feels like wool, but this innovative acoustic felt is made of recycled water and soda bottles and can contain anywhere from 50% to 100% post-recycled content. It’s formed into sheets that can be transformed into panels, tiles, light fixtures and even furniture, all of which do a superior job of absorbing sound and controlling the acoustics in a room or building.

PET acoustic felt is highly durable and is easy to clean and maintain. It doesn’t contain organic material, so it won’t begin to degrade or crumble with time, and you can use it in a wide variety of settings without worrying about maintenance or care. It can be found in an incredible range of colors, as well as shapes and designs that help it fit in well with nearly any setting.

At the end of its lifespan, it’s also fully recyclable, making it an excellent green choice for today’s eco-conscious companies.

Why Use PET Felt?

Every building and space is unique, and so are their acoustic needs. One room may have high ceilings that need better acoustic control throughout, while another space may need acoustic performance targeted to certain areas to better facilitate study, work or conversation.

Every space also has its own design needs in terms of color, pattern and style, which means that acoustic felt panels can’t be a one-size-fits-all product. It should be customizable so that it can meet the unique and individual needs of each space. That’s what makes PET felt so attractive — it can be formed, shaped, folded and colorized to match the needs of every space it’s installed in.

Arktura Soft Sound® acoustic felt is used to manufacture acoustic ceiling panels and baffles, wall tiles and backing for our perforated metal panels. This product is a unique design element in its own right.

23 Designs With PET Felt

This highly innovative and versatile material can be used in many ways. Take a look at these stunning design ideas to see how PET could complement your office or commercial decor.

1. Suspended Panels

“M.C. Dean” Tyson, VA, Perkins+Will, Halkin Mason Photography, Featuring: SoundEdge® by Arktura

This conference room has a highly contemporary design with a slight industrial edge, making the SoundEdge® suspended acoustic panels the perfect fit for the space. The panels are alternated with hanging lights, with the color and texture of the panels blending perfectly with the rest of the room’s design, positioned right where the room has the biggest acoustic need.

2. Pops of Color

“West Monroe Partners” Chicago, Illinois, Garnett Architects – CH, Robert Buyle Photography, Featuring: SoundEdge® by Arktura

This space needed a more consistent acoustic control across the room. Rather than sticking with one color and shape, the panels were broken into two sizes with the smaller panels showing off a bright, bold yellow that compliments the wall in the adjacent room. This helps brighten the design and the space, while simultaneously providing the perfect amount of sound control.

3. Dynamic Acoustic Control

“Vitol” Houston TX, PDR, Featuring: Solutions Studio® by Arktura

A far cry from the drop ceiling panels of the past, these faceted acoustic felt ceiling baffles are the definition of innovation in the acoustic space. In this custom Solutions Studio® design, these grey ceiling baffles span the room, and were so impressive, they helped Vitol Houston be named an Architizer 2017 A+ Awards Finalist.

4. Moody Blues

“Engility” Springfield, VA, Form Architects, Spielmann Studio Photography, Featuring: SoundEdge® by Arktura

This office needed acoustic control throughout the space, so clusters of deep blue suspended panels are mixed with a soft gray that matches the color of the flooring. Together, the colors help create a dynamic ceiling appearance for the room while also providing superior sound control.

5. Sleek and Subtle

“FEC Trammel Crow” Washington, DC, Smith Group, Hoachlander Davis Photography, LLC, Featuring: SoundEdge® by Arktura

This space features clean, crisp lines and sleek surfaces. The SoundEdge® acoustic panels suspended from the ceiling align with the style in a subtle way, and they help ensure that anyone using the space will be able to carry on conversations easily, no matter how busy it gets.

6. Sculptural Ceiling

“71 Above” Los Angeles, CA, Tag Front, Featuring: SoundStar® by Arktura

A benefit of using PET felt is its ability to be bent, sculpted and pieced together in so many ways. This area utilizes SoundStar® ceiling panels from Arktura in a neutral gray that matches the furniture, to create unique three-dimensional stars that help capture and absorb sound while creating a stunning and sculptural ceiling display.

7. Smooth Transitions

“Vrbo” Austin, TX, Rios Clementi Hale Studios – DT, Hunter Kerhart Architectural Photography, Featuring: Solutions Studio® by Arktura

These customized baffle wall and ceiling solutions curve around corners and transition smoothly across the walls and ceiling. Combining acoustic felt wall panels with ceiling panels controls noise throughout the busy work environment.

8. Suspended Stars

“One Medical Lobby” Chicago, IL, Callison RTKL, Featuring: SoundStar® by Arktura

For open spaces and buildings with high ceilings, sound control is even more important. Dropping a traditional ceiling only takes away from the height and style of the building, but by suspending sculptural panels instead, you can help absorb sound while enhancing and complementing the height of the space rather than undermining it.

9. Switch It Up
