Product Description
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.
Foam baffles are lightweight and easy to install. Suspend these ceiling baffles using 1.5″ corkscrew hangers & cable (Sold Separately). The corkscrew hangers pierce and screw into the back of the foam baffle to provide an attachment point for wire or cable. Appropriate hardware to mount cables or wire to your ceiling may be purchased locally or provided by your installer. Our Whisperwave® products are available in natural grey, natural white, or HPC Coated to add color and additional protection (see HPC color chart.)

Installation Method
- Install corkscrew hangers (Sold Separately) in the field for ceiling-mounted cable installation (cable and cable mounts may be provided by installer)
- 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.
Frequently Asked Questions
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 panel face and edges.
- 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.
Custom HPC colors are available. Popular paint brands may be combined with our exclusive HPC formulation to produce unique designs for any project.
