Chossing Acoustic Baffles or Sound Baffles in Australia

Acoustic Baffles, or Sound Baffles, are terms used to describe sound absorbing panels that are usually hung vertically from ceilings or overhead structures. When hung this way, both sides of the panels are exposed to minimise the flow of sound waves. For this reason, Acoustic Baffles are potentially far more effective that single – sided panels that are fixed flush to walls or ceilings.

Vertically hung Acoustic Baffles Ceiling will of course take up more overhead space than conventional acoustic ceiling panels, but their extra sound absorbing efficiency makes them ideal for large, noisy open spaces such as workshops, food halls, exhibition halls, and similar open plan areas. They are also particularly useful for ‘masking’ exposed building services such as air conditioning ductwork and sprinkler systems, where suspended ceilings have not been installed.

SONTEXT PTY LTD manufactures and supplies Acoustic Baffles under the company’s own brand name SONOBAFFLES™. Sonobaffles can be custom-made in dimensions to suit design requirements on any project. Finishes include a huge range of fabric colours and patterns.

Sonobaffles Acoustic Baffles function in the same way as conventional wall and fabric acoustic panels, that is, they absorb reverberation and reflected sound waves, resulting in less background noise and clearer speech quality. As a result such a space becomes a more comfortable environment for occupants.

Sonobaffles have been fully tested for sound absorption, so acoustic performance is predictable. Sontext can also provide advice on installation methods and fixing systems.

The Types of Acoustic Panels And Its Uses

Acoustic panels provide effective sound absorption solutions for offices, auditoriums, schools and an array of different spaces. Noise coming from sound bouncing of hard surfaces is common in a variety of spaces. This can make hearing and understanding speech very difficult. Another result of exposure to noise in closed spaces is increased stress. There are a number of options that are available that are classified as different types of sound panels for walls. If you choose either fabric or timber acoustic panels the main aim remains to absorb sound and reduce noise. This can further make it hard for people to hear conversations or contribute to a lack of concentration and comfort levels. The same is true for different spaces such as gyms and basketball courts. Following is a detailed look at the types of acoustic panels that can cater to an array of different preferences:

1. Fabric Acoustic Panels: These sound panels for walls provide a customisation acoustic solution for various types of rooms or spaces. Apart from serving to reduce the noise and improve the listening environment, they also have a visual appeal that fits perfectly in any setting. Sontext provides a multitude of fabric acoustic panels for walls as well as ceilings to ensure proper room acoustics.

2. Timber Acoustic Panels: Apart from fabric acoustic panels timber acoustic panels provide an effective noise absorbing solution for different environments. They have a more potent visual appeal and express an architectural and a natural look. They are available in a variety of different patterns and wood veneers which provide different sound absorbing characteristics

3. Acoustic Art Panels: A new addition into Sontext’s existing range of products. It gives an option unique and customised interior designs with effective noise control solutions.
