ARO Baffle 1

ARO Baffle 1 is a felt ceiling system that adds texture, color, and acoustic performance to any space. The system is composed of individual, acoustically absorptive baffles with chamfered edge detail that combine to create a continuous, open ceiling in over ninety colors of felt. The multiple suspension and mounting options of ARO Baffle 1 allow the integration of lighting and mechanical systems while also making installation a breeze.

  • Unistrut Installation Suspension options may be suspended from Unistrut Metal Framing System provided by others. For more information, please contact FilzFelt Customer Service. Maintenance Vacuum occasionally to remove general air-borne debris. Should soiling occur, spot clean with mild soap and lukewarm water. Avoid aggressive rubbing as this can continue the felting process and change the surface appearance of the felt. Refer to 100% Wool Design Felt Maintenance + Cleaning for detailed care instructions.
  • Variation Wool felt is a natural material and color variation and inclusions of natural fiber on the surface are evidence of the 100% natural origin of the material. Product color is only indicative, as it is not possible to assure consistency of color in a natural product due to the natural color of raw wool and absorption of dyes. Color matching cannot be guaranteed between individual baffles and expect color variation beyond the normal commercial range.
