Product Description
PanelHush PET Beam Baffles are an innovative and sustainable ceiling acoustic solution engineered for high-performance sound absorption in architecturally demanding interiors. Manufactured using 75% post-consumer recycled PET fibres — the same material found in plastic bottles — these eco-friendly acoustic baffles are fully recyclable and designed to reduce noise, improve speech intelligibility, and enhance interior aesthetics simultaneously.
The beam profile configuration suspends baffles horizontally from the ceiling structure, maximising exposed surface area for superior acoustic performance while creating a distinctive architectural ceiling feature. Unlike wall panels, baffles absorb sound on both faces and edges — making them significantly more efficient per unit area than equivalent wall-mounted treatments.
PanelHush PET Beam Baffles are specified by architects, interior designers and acoustic consultants across offices, schools, universities, restaurants, leisure centres and public buildings — wherever acoustic comfort and design quality matter equally. ModernGlide supplies and installs PanelHush PET Baffles nationwide across the UK.

Acoustic Performance
PanelHush PET Beam Baffles achieve NRC ratings up to 1.00, delivering exceptional sound absorption across a broad frequency range. Performance is maximised by the beam profile configuration — absorbing sound on both faces and edges simultaneously.
| Specification | NRC Rating | Frequency Range | Recommended Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12mm Baffle | NRC 0.95 | Broad frequency range | Excellent absorption across mid and high frequencies — ideal for office and educational environments |
| 25mm Baffle | NRC 1.00+ | Extended low frequency | Superior performance including low-frequency absorption — specified for critical acoustic environments |
How Baffles Work: Acoustic ceiling baffles are suspended panels hung vertically or horizontally from the ceiling structure to absorb sound energy and reduce reverberation. Unlike wall panels, baffles work in three dimensions — absorbing sound on both faces and edges — making them 2–6 times more effective per unit area than equivalent wall-mounted treatments. The PanelHush PET Beam Baffle uses a horizontal beam-profile configuration that adds structural visual interest while maximising exposed surface area for superior acoustic performance.
Performance Benefits
PanelHush PET Beam Baffles deliver measurable acoustic improvement alongside architectural design quality — addressing both performance and aesthetic requirements in a single product.
Reduced Reverberation
Dramatically cuts reverberation time (RT60) in large, hard-surfaced spaces. Conversations become clearer, background noise recedes, and the acoustic environment becomes noticeably more comfortable.
Improved Speech Intelligibility
High NRC ratings across mid and high frequencies ensure speech is clearly understood — critical for classrooms, conference rooms, and open offices where communication is key.
Design Flexibility
The beam profile creates a bold architectural ceiling feature. Available in a wide range of colours, dimensions, and layouts to suit any design intent — from subtle neutrals to dramatic statements.
Eco-Friendly and Sustainable
75% post-consumer recycled PET content, fully recyclable at end of life. Supports BREEAM, LEED, and WELL Building Standard credits. The responsible choice for sustainable interior specification.
Noise Fatigue Reduction
Prolonged exposure to reverberant noise causes fatigue and stress. PET Beam Baffles create calmer, more productive environments — proven to improve wellbeing and concentration.
Versatile Applications
Equally at home in offices, schools, universities, restaurants, leisure centres, and public buildings. One product family addresses the acoustic needs of virtually any commercial interior.

Typical Applications
PanelHush PET Beam Baffles are specified by architects and interior designers across a wide range of sectors — wherever acoustic comfort and design quality matter.
Open-Plan Offices and Co-working Spaces
Control noise in open-plan environments. PET Beam Baffles reduce reverberation and background noise fatigue — creating a more productive, comfortable working environment without the need for full acoustic enclosures.
Schools and Universities
Classrooms, lecture halls, libraries and sports halls all benefit from reduced reverberation. PET Baffles improve speech intelligibility — critical for effective teaching and learning environments.
Restaurants and Hospitality
Dining rooms, hotel lobbies and reception areas are transformed by acoustic baffles. Reduce noise levels during busy service periods — improving guest comfort and overall dining experience.
Public and Civic Buildings
Leisure centres, community halls, transport hubs and public spaces all benefit from targeted acoustic treatment. PET Baffles provide an effective, low-maintenance acoustic solution for high-traffic environments.
Healthcare Facilities
Waiting areas, corridors and treatment spaces require controlled acoustic environments. PET Baffles reduce noise levels and improve speech privacy — supporting patient wellbeing and staff concentration.
Conference Centres and Event Spaces
Divisible conference suites and event spaces require acoustic clarity for presentations and discussions. PET Baffles deliver the acoustic performance needed for professional event environments.
Sustainability and Environmental Credentials
PanelHush PET Beam Baffles are manufactured using 75% post-consumer recycled PET fibres — the same material found in plastic bottles. Each installation diverts significant quantities of plastic waste from landfill and reduces the embodied carbon of the project.
The panels are 100% recyclable at end of life, supporting circular economy principles. This makes them an ideal specification choice for projects targeting BREEAM Excellent, LEED Gold/Platinum, or WELL Building Standard certification.
