AlphaSorb® Acoustic Foam Wave Ceiling Baffle
Product Description
Our AlphaSorb® Acoustic Foam Wave Ceiling Baffles reduce echo and reverberation to improve speech intelligibility while providing a unique architectural appearance. The unique curved geometry provides exceptional acoustical performance and sparks immediate visual interest. Our baffles create a visually pleasing, acoustically enhanced environment, greatly improving speech intelligibility and thus promoting a comfortable acoustical profile within the space.
Wave Baffles give you one uniform look to a treated ceiling and are ideal for any application where sound absorption and aesthetics are both considerations. AlphaSorb® Acoustic Foam Wave Ceiling Baffles are available in natural grey and white colors or painted with a non-bridging paint (call for details). Wave Baffles easily mount to ceilings with corkscrews (hardware may ship separately).
NOTE: This product has been transitioned to a new manufacturing process. Material may vary slightly from previously ordered material.
