ACOUSTIC BAFFLE CEILING
INTRODUCTION
➢ WHAT IS ACOUSTIC BAFFLE
CEILING?
Baffle Ceilings offer a spatial
pattern with a linear
open ceiling. From a practical
point of view, they are simple
to install and offer easy access
to the ceiling plenum for
maintenance and the
installation of additional
services such as lighting, PA
system, sprinklers etc.

➢ BENEFITS OF ACOUSTIC BAFFLE CEILING

Services friendly – its easy to install all the services inside the
acoustic baffle ceiling.

Dry construction – The acoustic baffle ceiling does not require

water either for the installation or curing. Also, baffle ceiling is
humidity resistant.

Fire rating – Acoustic Baffle ceiling is also available with fire

rating.

Light weight – It is light in weight.

Thermal insulation – Acoustic Baffles are good in thermal

resistance.

Acoustical insulation – Acoustical Baffles are known for high

sound absorption properties.

Aesthetics – Acoustic Baffle ceiling is highly customizable and is

available in multiple colors and forms.

• BEFORE INSTALLATION

A Good practices Process

All material delivered to site should be checked for

1
damage, unopened and original packages

2 All materials to be kept dry and protected.

It is important at this stage to determine the direction the

3 Baffle being installed. The drawing supplied by the
designer will show the Baffle direction required.

• INSTALLATION

B Good practices Process

Mark the dimension lines for

1
fixing plate.

Screw the fixing plate to the

2 true slab using hammer drill
or gas gun.

Hang the adjustable hanger

3
into the fixing plate
B Good practices Process

Introduce the main runner

4
using adjustable hanger

Fix the cross tee in between

the main runner at a
5
distance of 1200mm c/c to
maintain the alignment.

Slide the baffle clip into the

6
surface of main runner

Insert the Solo baffle into

7 the baffle clip using hook at
the top of the baffle.

Use guiding pin to join two

8 baffles and to main the
alignment between them.
