What shows that PET felt has good acoustic value?
Acoustics play an important role in our living and working environment. Poor acoustics can lead to noise problems, stress, and reduced productivity. It is therefore essential to look for materials and solutions that improve room acoustics. One such solution is PET felt, a versatile material known for its good acoustic properties. In this blog, we take a closer look at what PET felt is and why it is an excellent choice for improving acoustics in different rooms.

What is PET felt?
PET felt is made from recycled PET bottles, hence the name. These fibres are used to manufacture felt sheets that are available in different colours and thicknesses.
Acoustic value of PET felt
Below we describe the two main reasons showing that PET felt has good acoustic value:
- Damping and absorption: PET felt has excellent acoustic properties when it comes to damping and sound absorption. The soft material is able to absorb and reduce sound waves, significantly reducing noise levels in a room.
- NRC value: The Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) is a measure of sound absorption. PET felt has an NRC value of 0.85, which means it is extremely effective at reducing noise. A higher NRC value indicates that a material is better at absorbing sound, and PET felt scores very well here. Check out the charts of our PET felt below:
Other advantages of PET felt
- Aesthetically pleasing: In addition to its acoustic properties, PET felt is also aesthetically pleasing. The material is both functional and decorative. This makes it suitable for use in interior design and decoration.
- Versatility: PET felt can be used in various ways to improve acoustics in a room. It can be used as wall coverings, ceiling panels, partitions and more.
- Environmentally friendly: An additional advantage of PET felt is that it contributes to sustainability. It is made from recycled PET bottles, which means it has a positive impact on the environment by reducing waste and reusing plastic bottles.
- Easy installation: PET felt is relatively easy to install. It can be attached to walls, ceilings or other surfaces with the self-adhesive backing and, for large areas, with some additional sealant.
- Colour choice: PET felt is available in a variety of colours, meaning it can be adapted to the aesthetics of any room. This makes it a versatile choice for both functional and decorative purposes.
Where to apply PET felt?
Office gardens to restaurants
In offices and other business environments, you can use PET felt to reduce noise pollution and increase productivity. It can serve as wall coverings or ceiling solutions to reduce sound reflection.
In restaurants and hospitality venues, PET felt can be used to improve acoustics, allowing guests to enjoy a pleasant dining experience without excessive noise.

Schools to home environments
In schools and educational institutions, PET felt is used in classrooms to create a quieter and more concentrated learning environment.
PET felt is also the perfect solution in home environments. It can be used in the living room, bedroom or in your home office to achieve better acoustics.
