Acoustic Baffles with Microperforated Design
The Acoustic Wood Baffles are vertically hung panels available in custom sizes and spacing. Natural wood veneer is laminated to Fire-Rated MDF. Only after lamination is the face microperforated with 0.5mm (1/50”) perforations and the rear perforated with 9mm (3/8”) for acoustical performance. This eliminates the risk of delamination or hole clogging common to panels that are laminated after perforation. The hollow core of the baffle is filled with NAUF Medium Density Fiberglass to improve acoustic performance. Acoustic Wood Baffles come standard with factory-mounted hardware for easy suspension with hanger wire. They can also be mounted directly to a strut channel.

Dimensions:
Width: The standard width of a baffle is 50mm (2”) but custom sizes are common. Baffles under 40mm (1.5”) wide will have reduced acoustical performance.
Height: Baffles came in standard size between 75mm (3”) and 305mm (12”). Other heights are also available.
Length: The maximum length of a single baffle is 3m (10’). Individual baffles can be joined to create baffles longer than 3m.
