A: Thickness and Profile. While standard baffles are single blades (usually 12-24mm thick), our Acoustic Beams are box-sections (e.g., 40mm, 50mm, or wider). This creates a three-dimensional, substantial look similar to a timber joist or glulam beam. The box structure also traps sound inside the hollow core, further enhancing low-frequency absorption compared to a thin blade. Beams can also be printed with any of our “Woods” selection, further enhancing the timber Beam effect.

A: They are hollow. We fabricate them from rigid 9mm or 12mm PetFelt folded into a U-shape or box profile. This makes them extremely lightweight—approximately 80% lighter than a comparable solid timber beam. This means they can be retrofitted onto standard suspended ceiling grids without needing heavy structural reinforcement.

A: Yes. The hollow channel on the top side of the beam is perfect for concealing unsightly cabling, data wires, or small conduit pipes. This allows you to tidy up the ceiling aesthetic while simultaneously treating the room acoustics.

A: Yes. We can supply internal joiners that allow you to butt multiple 2400mm beams together seamlessly. This creates the illusion of infinite linear beams running the entire length of a corridor or open-plan office, which is a popular device for visually lengthening a room.

A: You can choose from either an independent cable kit or a bespoke V-Profile steel mounting system - This metal rail fixes to your ceiling (or suspension wires), and the felt beam simply clips or slides onto it. This ensures the beams remain perfectly straight and parallel, preventing the "snaking" or warping sometimes seen with poorer quality baffles.

A: Absolutely. We can print our high-definition PetFelt Woods textures (Oak, Walnut, Pine, etc.) onto the beams. This gives you the warmth and grandeur of a solid oak beam ceiling but with high-performance acoustic absorption and a fraction of the cost and weight.
