Polyester Acoustic Ceilings, Baffles & Clouds
Polyester acoustic ceiling treatments are a smart way to tame echo without using wall space. Sontext supplies PET ceiling panels, hanging baffles and acoustic clouds that reduce reverberation, improve speech clarity and add a contemporary design feature to open spaces.
Polyester Acoustic Ceilings – Baffles & Clouds by Sontext
Lightweight, durable and available in a wide colour palette, PET ceiling elements suit offices, classrooms, boardrooms, hospitality, and public spaces. Use suspended baffles (vertical) for narrow plans and services-heavy ceilings; choose clouds (horizontal) when you want two-sided absorption and visual impact. Pair with wall panels where extra control is needed.
Why Choose PET Baffles & Clouds
- Two-sided absorption: Suspended elements absorb sound on multiple faces.
- Service friendly: Fit around lights, sprinklers and HVAC with minimal rework.
- Design flexibility: Rectangles, fins, waves or geometric clouds in multiple colours.
- Durable & low maintenance: Robust polyester felt suitable for busy interiors.
- Lightweight: Easier handling and faster installation.

FAQs – Polyester Acoustic Ceilings
1. What’s the difference between baffles and clouds?
Baffles hang vertically; clouds suspend horizontally. Both absorb sound effectively—choose based on ceiling services, sightlines and design intent.
2. Do suspended elements perform better than flat ceiling panels?
They often provide more absorption area and two-sided exposure, which can increase effectiveness in reflective rooms.
3. Can PET ceiling elements work around lights and HVAC?
Yes. Baffles and clouds can be set out to clear fittings, with cable or rail suspension. See our Baffle Hanging System.
4. What colours and shapes are available?
A wide range—rectangles, fins, circles, hexagons and custom shapes in multiple PET colours.
5. Should I add wall panels as well?
For best results, combine ceilings with wall absorption. Consider polyester wall panels or Serenity fabric panels.
