Design Versatility and Sound Clarity with Baffle Ceilings and Clouds

Large open interior spaces such as workshops, concert halls, gymnasiums, auditoriums and halls often do not have conventional ceilings installed. In fact structures with these types of usage are often with the building services and the underside of the roof exposed. Reverberation, (or echo) can be a resulting problem, particularly public announcements, PA systems,or machinery are in use in the space. Minimising reverberation in spaces with this type of problem can be achieved by installing suspended acoustic baffles or clouds.

Features of Baffle Ceilings and Clouds

Known for their design flexibility and excellent acoustical control, clouds and baffles can be vertically "hung" from the roof structure in regular or random patterns. They are available in fabric or painted facings, and  come in various shapes, forms, colors, materials and thicknesses. These panels can be customized, are visually appealing, are lightweight and therefore are easy to install.  Clouds and Baffles are usually manufactured as double-sided sound-absorbing panels, so are very efficient at absorbing sound waves. The key benefit of minimising reverberation is large spaces this way, is that sound quality is vastly improved, for speakers, performers and audiences. Vertically- hanging Acoustic baffle ceilings  are installed using wire hangers and corkscrew anchors.

Sound Absorbing Acoustic Clouds

Clouds can be random in shape, and differ from Baffles in that they are suspended horizontally, rather than vertically, to the roof. Clouds can also be a great way to create a unique and creative appearance. Acoustic sound absorbing Baffles and Clouds can increase speech clarity and comprehension, resulting in less less vocal effort for presenters and increased listening comfort for audiences.
