An effective ceiling plays a vital role in shaping the way sound behaves within a space. In large, open environments, excessive reverberation and airborne noise can make conversations difficult, affect concentration, and reduce overall acoustic comfort.
ECOCORE PET acoustic baffle ceiling solutions are designed to address these challenges while adding a distinctive architectural element to the ceiling. Vertically suspended from the ceiling, ECOCORE Baffles absorb unwanted sound reflections and help improve speech clarity and acoustic comfort across expansive spaces.
Manufactured from high-quality PET polyester fibre, these lightweight baffles offer an ideal combination of acoustic performance, durability, sustainability, and design flexibility. Their suspended configuration provides greater exposed surface area for sound absorption while allowing architects and designers to experiment with different layouts and orientations.
When ceiling surfaces need to do more than simply occupy overhead space, floating acoustic elements can transform both the acoustic and visual experience of an interior.
ECOCORE PET acoustic cloud ceilings in the form of ECOCORE Clouds are suspended horizontally below the existing ceiling to create floating acoustic surfaces. Inspired by the appearance of soft, suspended clouds, these panels introduce an expressive ceiling feature while helping with sound absorption.
They are particularly effective in large or open interiors where conventional ceiling treatment may not provide sufficient acoustic coverage or where maintaining an open ceiling aesthetic is important.
Their floating installation allows the panels to interact directly with sound travelling through the occupied zone, helping reduce reverberation and improve acoustic comfort.
The acoustic performance of a space depends significantly on how sound waves interact with its surrounding surfaces. In large interiors with hard floors, walls, exposed ceilings, glass, and other reflective materials, sound can repeatedly bounce across the space. This creates reverberation, background noise, and reduced speech intelligibility.
ECOCORE Baffles and Clouds acoustic ceilings use the porous structure of PET polyester fibre to absorb sound. As sound waves reach the exposed surface of the panels, a portion of the acoustic energy enters the fibre structure, where it is dissipated rather than being reflected back into the occupied space.
Depending on the application, panel dimensions, thickness, spacing, suspension height, and overall ceiling configuration can be optimized to achieve the desired acoustic outcome.
The result is a more balanced acoustic environment with reduced sound reflections, improved speech clarity, and greater comfort for occupants.

Installing ECOCORE Baffle and Cloud systems requires careful planning to achieve both visual alignment and reliable acoustic performance. The installation process generally follows these steps:
Step 1: Assess the Ceiling & Site Conditions
Inspect the existing ceiling structure and identify suitable points for suspension. Ensure that the substrate and supporting structure are appropriate for the proposed installation system.
Step 2: Plan the Layout
Determine the position, spacing, orientation, and suspension height of each baffle or cloud. Mark the layout according to the approved design and project drawings.
Step 3: Mark Suspension Points
Accurately mark the required hanging points on the existing ceiling structure. Proper positioning is important to maintain consistency across the installation.
Step 4: Install Suspension Hardware
Fix the recommended mechanically impregnated hanging bolts and associated suspension hardware at the marked locations, ensuring secure anchoring.
Step 5: Suspend the Baffles or Clouds
Carefully attach the ECOCORE Baffles vertically or Cloud panels horizontally, depending on the selected configuration. Ensure every panel is securely supported.
Step 6: Check Alignment & Spacing
Inspect the complete installation for consistent spacing, level, orientation, and visual alignment. Make necessary adjustments to achieve the intended ceiling composition.
Step 7: Final Inspection
Check the installed system for secure fixing and overall finish. Clean the panels where required and ensure the completed installation meets the approved design intent.
Note: For project-specific installations, suspension details, support requirements, spacing, and fixing methods should be finalized according to the site conditions, panel configuration, and applicable project specifications.
