Rating: 5
Author: Verified Customer

A Sonex® Valueline Hanging Baffle helps improve communication and reduce echo / reverberation in large open areas such as production plants, warehouses, gymnasiums and swimming pools. The acoustical foam used to manufacture the baffles absorb sound energy from multiple sources, reducing noise and reverberation throughout the environment.

Sonex® Valueline Hanging Baffles are Class 1 fire-rated for flame spread and smoke density. Resistant to fungus and microbial growth, they can withstand the humid conditions of indoor swimming pools. Sonex® Valueline Hanging Baffles are also field-fitted with stainless steel corkscrew hangers, making them easy to install over individual workstations or above an entire floor. Complete wall-to-wall cable installation by sliding the baffles into place from one side of the room, allowing activities to continue uninterrupted. Ceiling cable installation allows you to arrange baffles in box-like or crisscross patterns.

Features:

Reduces echo and reverberation
Improves speech intelligibility

Installation Method:

Included Corkscrew hangers (2 per baffle) are installed in the field for ceiling-mounted cable installation (cable and cable mounts by others.)
Avoid hanging baffles more than 10 feet below the ceiling. Long tethering will cause them to sway in air currents.
Align the baffles in the same direction or turn every other baffle 90 degrees.
For best results, install this product at the end of your construction project.
Use clean gloves to prevent soiling material.
Melamine foam is fragile, please handle with care.
Do not install material of unacceptable quality.

What is HPC Coating?

HPC is a high performance coating that is applied to acoustical melamine foam base. Our exclusive water based HPC formulation improves durability and protects the acoustical foam from dust and dirt, allowing the surface to be cleaned using a damp cloth. The HPC coating is especially appropriate for use high-traffic areas. HPC Premium extends the HPC coating further by offering a line of brilliant colors from which to choose.

HPC Coating for Wall and Ceiling Panels:
- Coating is applied to the face of panels only.
- An edge coating option is available for when the edges of the panel will be exposed.
HPC Coating for Hanging Baffles and Clouds:
- The coating will be applied to all exposed edges and sides.
HPC Coating for Drop-In Ceiling Tiles:
- All necessary edges will be coated to provide a finished appearance.
