Transform Your Space with PetFelt Wave Panels: Beauty Meets Functionality

When it comes to acoustic design, finding the right balance between performance and aesthetics is key. That’s where PetFelt Wave Panels come in — a striking, high-performance acoustic solution that doesn’t compromise on style. In this post, we’ll explore what makes PetFelt Wave Panels unique, where they work best, and why they’re becoming a go-to choice for offices, restaurants, schools, and more.

What Are PetFelt Wave Panels?

PetFelt WAVE Panels are acoustic wall or ceiling panels manufactured by GB Acoustics and crafted from recycled PET felt. Their signature undulating “wave” design not only offers visual interest but maximises surface area for sound absorption.

Some key specifications:

  • Material & Sustainability: Made from recycled PET fibre (minimum 75% post-consumer content), with off-cuts reused or recycled where possible.

  • Thickness & Dimensions: Available in 9 mm or 12 mm thickness, with panel sizes such as 2400 × 1200 mm, 2400 × 820 mm, 2400 × 1100 mm, and 2400 × 1120 mm.

  • Density & Performance: 2000 gsm – 2400 gsm felt density, giving them robust acoustic absorption capabilities.

  • Fire Safety: Rated EN 13501-1 Class B for flame retardance.

  • Design Options: Four wave variants (Wave A-2, B, C-2 & D), and a palette of 60 colours to suit most interiors.

  • Fixing Options: Can be bonded using adhesives, pinned, screwed, hung from cables, or fixed like picture frames.

All in all, these panels combine sustainable engineering, high acoustic performance, and design versatility.

Why Choose PetFelt Wave Panels?

1. Acoustic Excellence

The curved wave surface increases the effective surface area, aiding sound diffusion as well as absorption. For open offices, meeting rooms, or hospitality spaces with challenging acoustics, these panels reduce echoes and reverberation while preserving speech clarity.

2. Aesthetic Impact

Where many acoustic panels are flat and purely functional, PetFelt WAVE Panels elevate the visual dimension. The gentle waves cast shadows and lend texture, turning a plain ceiling or wall into an architectural feature.

3. Sustainable & Low-Impact

Given their high recycled content and recyclable nature, PetFelt WAVE Panels support sustainable design goals. For LEED or BREEAM-aligned projects, using a product with recycled PET fibre (≥ 75%) is a strong plus.

4. Customisable to Your Space

With 60 colours and multiple wave types, you can mix and match for contrast, branding, or zoned effects. The choice of mounting/fixing methods also ensures they can adapt to a range of surfaces — walls, ceilings, or even suspended installations.

5. Efficient Coverage Strategy

In many commercial settings (offices, restaurants, schools), the recommendation is to cover 36–50% of the wall or ceiling surface area with acoustic treatment. PetFelt WAVE Panels help you hit that optimal zone without completely blanketing the space.

Ideal Applications & Sectors

Because PetFelt Wave Panels are visually striking and functionally effective, they are well suited to:

  • Office workspaces, breakout zones, meeting rooms

  • Restaurants, cafés, bars, hotel lobbies

  • Educational environments (classrooms, auditoriums)

  • Studios or creative zones

  • Reception areas and galleries

They perform best in locations where you want acoustic comfort without sacrificing interior design.

Tips for Specification & Installation

  • Coverage Planning: Aim for 36–50% acoustic coverage to balance performance and cost.

  • Select Wave Type & Colour: Choosing wave profiles and contrasting or complementary colours helps zonal definition or visual interest.

  • Mounting Strategy: Decide whether you’ll fix them to walls, ceilings, or suspend them — adhesive bonding, pinning, hanging, or cable kits are all viable.

  • Fire Safety & Compliance: Be sure to confirm compliance with local fire codes; these panels are EN 13501-1 Class B.

  • Sample & Test: Before committing, request samples or small mock-ups to see how light, shadow, and texture play in your space.
