Buying PET felt? Everything about thicknesses, colours, and applications
PET felt is available in various thicknesses and colours, ensuring that there is always a suitable solution for your interior. But which thickness and colour best meet your needs and goals? Read here everything about the different options and applications, so you can make an informed choice.
What is PET felt and why choose this material?
PET felt consists of at least 50% recycled material and is made from old PET bottles. Due to its porous structure, it absorbs sound waves and improves the acoustics in a space. But PET felt is more than just functional and sustainable; it also offers many creative possibilities. It is a beautiful and practical addition to any interior. It’s no wonder that interior designers often choose it – they combine acoustic comfort with a unique appearance.
What thicknesses are available and which one do you choose?
PET felt is available in various thicknesses, including 9 mm, 12 mm and 25 mm thick felt panels. Do you want to buy thick felt and are unsure which thickness to choose? The right thickness depends on the purpose and application in your interior or project.
If you mainly use your PET felt for aesthetic or creative purposes and acoustics are less important, then 9 mm is a good choice. This felt still offers sound absorption, but to a lesser extent than thicker felt. The thicker the felt, the better the sound absorption. Do you want a noticeable improvement in acoustics? Then choose 25 mm, as it absorbs sound the most.
The available colours may vary depending on the thickness of the PET felt. Do you want to choose a specific colour while also improving acoustics? Then there are various options to still achieve good sound insulation.
An effective method is to create a cavity, an open space between the PET felt and the underlying wall or ceiling. This air layer helps to absorb sound waves better. For even better sound absorption, the cavity can be filled with acoustic material, such as polyester wool. This ensures that the sound is absorbed not only by the felt but also by the damping material, which significantly improves the acoustic performance.
In addition, you can also combine multiple layers, for example, two 9 mm boards to achieve a thickness of 18 mm. This allows you to maintain the desired appearance while benefiting from improved acoustic properties. We would be happy to advise you on the best options for your situation.
