Vertical Acoustic Baffles with Round Perforated Holes: Sculpting Silence in Open Spaces

Modern commercial interiors face a dual challenge—noise pollution and aesthetic expectations. Vertical acoustic baffles with round perforated holes offer an elegant solution. These suspended systems not only mitigate unwanted sound reflections but also contribute sculptural beauty to large, open environments.

What Are Round-Hole Acoustic Baffles?

Vertical baffles are hung from ceilings in rows, allowing sound waves to be absorbed across a larger surface area. Round perforations on their surfaces enhance broadband sound absorption, targeting mid to high frequencies. These panels are typically made from PET felt, perforated metal, or wood veneer composites.

According to the Acoustical Society of America, vertical baffles can reduce reverberation time by up to 40% in spaces with hard ceilings, such as airports, offices, and gyms.

Design Benefits

Key features of these baffles include:

• 360° Sound Absorption: Both sides exposed to ambient sound

• Round Hole Perforation: Customizable diameters from 1.5mm to 10mm

• Lightweight Installation: Compatible with grid or cable suspension

• Fire-Rated: Certified to ASTM E84 Class A

Where Are They Used?

Vertical perforated baffles are ideal for:

• Corporate offices

• Libraries and study zones

• Gymnasiums and swimming pool halls

• Airport waiting areas

• Exhibition centers

As Architectural Digest notes, suspended acoustic forms have become a defining feature of modern workplace ceiling design, contributing both performance and identity.

Case Study: Acoustic Retrofits for a Co-Working Hub

Client: A creative co-working space in Shenzhen
Problem: High ceilings and concrete surfaces caused excessive echo, making calls and meetings difficult.
Solution: Installed 120 PET vertical acoustic baffles with round perforations (Ø 5mm) in charcoal grey and light oak laminate finish.
Outcome: Noise complaints dropped 60% in first month. Meeting room booking increased, and members noted better focus and airiness.
