Golterman and Sabo’s baffles are effective noise control products for isolating noise and adding sound absorption to open ceiling systems. Available with fabric or nylon finishes, our baffles also define open spaces and add depth to ceilings.

Our baffles can be hung from existing ceiling grid systems, or hung from roof decks and bar joists in open ceilings.

Acoustical baffles are most effective in gymnasiums, natatoriums, open offices and for isolating noisy areas.
