Frequently Asked Questions About Ceiling Baffles

What is a baffle ceiling?

A baffle ceiling is a unique architectural feature that shows the bare ceiling but still can provide sound absorption. Ideal for correcting acoustical issues, baffles are available in many designs and are also good options for retrofitting an existing ceiling for noise control.

What is an acoustical ceiling?

An acoustical ceiling is created by using sound-absorbing ceiling tiles and systems that reduce noise.

How do acoustic baffles work?

Acoustic baffles are sound panels made of a wide range of materials to absorb sound and reduce background noise and echoes within a large space or private area.

How do you install ceiling baffles?

Ceiling baffles and ceiling baffle systems are typically easy to install and are most often hung vertically from the ceiling or wall area.

What is the best material to absorb sound?

Any material that can absorb the sound that hits it is a viable sound-absorbing material, especially one with a high Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) rating. Understanding the calculation of NRC ratings is important when choosing acoustic ceiling baffles. Click here to learn more.

Case Study

U of A HSIB

With design spearheaded by CO Architects, the University of Arizona's Health Sciences Innovation Building provides health professionals, students, and faculty in medicine, nursing, pharmacy, and public health a cutting-edge, world-class environment to work, learn, and collaborate. Acoustics and noise dampening was key to the success of the project. TP Acoustics and Arktura worked closely to deploy several acoustic solutions that have become defining elements of the massive complex. Arktura's multi-faceted origami-like SoftFold® acoustic modules, constructed from Soft Sound material, produce an added layer of visual complexity and eliminate reverberations in the large open space. Arktura's SoftFold® ceiling system was adapted to span across ceilings and walls at various angles. Additionally, the building houses rooms of various sizes for a broad range of applications, each with its unique design and acoustic challenges. Some areas called for Arktura's SoundEdge® acoustical baffles that add a pop of color to rooms while reducing the noise to spaces. The end result is a forward-thinking space that organically incorporates acoustics, thanks to special consideration taken into the design, manufacturing, and installation of its solutions. The solutions deployed by Arktura help the space live up to its goals to attract and retain the best minds in health.

Case Study

Brightline All Aboard

The unprecedent infrastructure project, led by SOM and Zyscovich Architects, provides a vital new service for Florida residents, businesses, and tourists in a bustling transportation hub. Arktura's acoustic ceiling, SoftGrid® Square, was selected for use through the multi-layered vertical structure ensuring the visitor's experience (surrounded by a bustling train station) was comfortable to their senses. It also contributes to the scheme of stacked dynamic linear structure of the station - an architectural icon of a 21st-century Miami.

Additional Information about Ceiling Baffles

Ceiling Baffles That Enhance Your Design and Sound

A baffle ceiling is a popular design option that gives large spaces a modern and dynamic look. But buildings that include areas featuring large open floorplans also have unique design challenges when it comes to sound control. Choosing acoustic ceiling baffles is an ideal solution that offers the design elements you want with the benefit of sound absorption.

Acoustic Ceiling Baffles That Create Beautiful Designs

Arktura offers a wide range of versatile, easy-to-install ceiling baffle systems that use Soft Sound® construction, an exclusive high-performance acoustical fabric that can be used with many designs and delivers a premium acoustical impact. Our pre-configured and customizable ceiling baffles are designed to help you find the right fit for your project. We offer a variety of form and finish options for every budget and design vision. Let’s take a look at Arktura’s acoustic ceiling baffles, learn how they work and explore how they can be incorporated into your next design.

What Are Acoustic Ceiling Baffles?

Acoustic ceiling baffles are panels designed to absorb sound and are typically used in upper wall and ceiling areas. They can absorb unwanted resonance, such as typing sounds, and help you control the way that your space utilizes sound and noise. Arktura’s wide range of acoustical baffles are all easy to install and ideal for large spaces, giving you the ability to add visual interest and style to your space, all while creating quiet areas for clients and customers.

Choosing the Right Baffle Ceiling for Your Acoustic Needs

Whether it is optimizing productivity levels in an office building, lowering noise levels in schools or helping patients have quieter, calmer experiences in medical facilities, sound control is an integral part of any space with an open floor plan. Considering the potential need for high-performing materials now can save you the time and money that will be needed to add acoustic treatments in the future. Here are some benefits of choosing the right acoustic materials to design your space.

A Happier Workplace

Multiple studies and reports demonstrate that noise levels are the single biggest complaint among office workers today. In a 2014 IIDA workplace survey, 80% of respondents noted that “constant interruption” was the one thing they would most like to change about their workplace because it leads to fatigue or burnout. Designing a building for controlled acoustical performance using ceiling baffles from Arktura can help your business run more smoothly and keep your employees happier.

Satisfied Customers

For retail and commerce spaces, a busy day can mean a lot of chaotic noise and action. Adding high-performance sound absorption to walls and ceilings helps to reduce excess noise, making it a more peaceful place to conduct business and complete transactions.

Create a Dynamic Space for Any Need

Choosing a custom noise control system can create visual interest and help frame the spaces in which they are located. Arktura’s acoustical ceiling systems have many functional design elements that allow you to conceal things like wires, ductwork and plumbing that run overhead while making a beautiful statement.

Design Ideas Using Arktura Acoustic Ceiling Baffles

Arktura offers a wide range of versatile, easy-to-install ceiling baffle systems with a high level of acoustical performance. Here are some design ideas that demonstrate how you can incorporate sound-absorbing systems into your space.

Add Depth Using Atmosphera®

Atmosphera® uses Arktura’s experience designing and manufacturing custom solutions to deliver a dynamic, scalable and affordable family of modular ceiling systems. Make tall ceilings feel more accessible by using an open ceiling system like the Atmosphera® Custom Pulse shown above. Pulse’s interconnected panels create a current for viewers to follow, drawing them deeper into the building and the rest of your design. These panels are customizable, allowing you to create as much openness as you want. Choose from linear, organic and faceted designs, available in a wide range of colors.

Add Dimension Using SoftGrid®

SoftGrid® ceiling elements offer several options for a stunning visual design and strong acoustical impact. All SoftGrid products are simple to assemble, easy to install and work well with most ceiling types. Shown above, SoftGrid® Deca acoustic ceiling modules bring faceted, dimensional geometry to your design with their inverted hexagonal shapes. Combine these modules with designs for a complex pattern or use them individually for a simpler statement.

Add Versatility To Your Design Using SoftSpan™

Constructed using Arktura’s high-performance PET Soft Sound® acoustical material, SoftSpan™ offers a wide range of colors and finishes to fit any design. Choose from a library of options, including a lineup of Soft Sound® Wood Textures to replicate the character and warmth of timber ceiling trellises. Shown above, SoftSpan™ 24 is a versatile acoustic baffle system that brings the look of closely gridded coffered ceilings or timber trellises to spaces without the weight.
