Polyester Fiber Clouds are lightweight, suspended acoustic ceiling panels made from compressed PET (polyethylene terephthalate) fiber, hung individually or in clusters below a ceiling using cables or rods to absorb sound and reduce reverberation time in a room.
Key takeaway:




Features :-
Porous PET fiber absorbs sound energy on impact, cutting echo and reverberation time in the room.
Reverberation time (RT60) is the industry-standard measure acoustic consultants use, and it is defined and tested per international standards such as ASTM C423, the reverberation room method used to calculate the Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) of a material.
A common site mistake is choosing a colour first and thickness last. Low frequencies (below 250 Hz, think HVAC hum and traffic rumble) need panel thickness and air gap behind the cloud to absorb effectively, while thinner panels handle speech-range mid and high frequencies well. On projects where bass buildup is a complaint (gyms, cafeterias with hard floors), specifying a 50mm cloud with a larger air gap from the slab outperforms a thinner panel even in the same colour and shape.
Yes, they are formaldehyde-free, non-toxic, and non-allergenic, safe for classrooms and daycare ceilings.
They genuinely absorb sound; decorative shapes and colours are a secondary design benefit.
Yes, they suspend directly from the structural slab using cables, hooks, or rods.
Aim for NRC 0.85 or higher, covering 25 to 40% of the ceiling area.
Clouds hang flat and low, baffles hang vertically; both absorb sound differently by orientation.
No, they carry a Class B1 fire rating with low smoke and toxicity.
Yes, most manufacturers offer 40+ shades including light apricot and custom RAL matching.
No, they absorb echo within a room; they do not block transmission between floors.
A mid-sized office is usually completed in two to four working days.
They are low-maintenance and vacuum-cleanable; heavy washing is not generally recommended.
