— CHOOSE YOUR SHAPE —
Choose Your Fabric Baffle Shape
Select from linear, wave, circular, square/rectangular, and hexagon shapes. All are the same product family — only the shape changes.
Linear Baffles
Vertical fabric-wrapped rectangular baffles suspended in parallel rows — the most efficient acoustic baffle for open ceilings with exposed MEP structure.
- Ideal for — exposed MEP ceilings, modern offices, halls, and commercial interiors.
- Twin-face absorption — both faces are exposed to the sound field, increasing the available absorptive surface compared with a wall-mounted panel of the same visible face area.
- Colour flexibility — choose from 67 selected standard fabric colours, plus additional colours from selected Camira collections on request.
Wave Baffles
Sculpted wave-form fabric baffles that combine the acoustic efficiency of vertical baffles with a soft flowing profile. Ideal when a ceiling needs both premium visual character and effective sound absorption — dining rooms, boutique offices, hospitality, and biophilic-inspired interiors.
- Sculpted flowing profile — wave silhouette softens ceiling reads and disguises exposed MEP without hiding it entirely.
- Same acoustic core as Linear — identical fabric-wrapped absorption performance — only the profile changes.
- Mix colours & heights — cascade multiple hues at different suspension heights for a dynamic ceiling composition.
Circular Baffles
Round fabric-wrapped acoustic baffles from the same Fabric Baffles system — the softest visual language in the range, with no sharp edges and a welcoming rhythm. Delivers effective sound absorption above open workspaces, receptions, restaurants, atria, and creative environments.
- Ideal for — offices, meeting rooms, receptions, restaurants, hotels, gyms, classrooms, lecture halls, and event spaces.
- Two installation modes — horizontal clouds/dots for broad ceiling coverage, or vertical circle baffles for accent groups.
- Colour mixing without noise — grey + neutral tones read as calm; punchy blues or terracotta add character.
Square & Rectangular Baffles
Modular rectilinear fabric-wrapped baffles — square or rectangular proportions — from the same Fabric Baffles system, installed horizontally above meeting rooms, boardrooms, conference tables, dining zones, and open-plan workspaces. A clean geometric shape that aligns with lighting, HVAC, and structural planning while delivering broadband sound absorption.
- Ideal for — boardrooms, meeting rooms, conference tables, dining zones, corporate lobbies, and premium hospitality.
- Two proportions, one system — square for balanced grids and modular ceilings, rectangular for long tables and directional coverage — identical fabric-wrapped core and finish.
- Modular grid alignment — sizes match standard 600 / 1200 mm architectural planning, lighting fixtures, and MEP layouts.
- Effective coverage — one 1200×1200 unit covers ~1.44 m² of ceiling — plan absorption per m² using room volume and reverberation target.
Hexagon Baffles
Hexagonal fabric-wrapped baffles from the same Fabric Baffles system — a distinctive honeycomb-inspired shape installed horizontally as ceiling clouds or in tessellated patterns. Combines the acoustic performance of the range with a distinctive architectural profile suited to lobbies, cafés, creative offices, and feature ceilings.
- Ideal for — lobbies, cafés, hospitality, creative offices, and feature ceilings where a distinctive geometric identity matters.
- Tessellated patterns — hexagons tile edge-to-edge for a continuous honeycomb ceiling, or spaced apart as accent groups.
- Same acoustic core system — identical fabric-wrapped construction to Linear, Wave, Circular, and Rectilinear shapes — only the shape and installation pattern change.

— ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE —
Acoustic Performance
Fabric ceiling baffles provide broadband sound absorption. Absorption values (NRC, αw) depend on thickness, orientation, spacing, ceiling void depth, and the total coverage installed.
- Higher thickness (50 mm) improves low-mid frequency absorption
- Both faces are exposed to the sound field, increasing the available absorptive surface compared with a wall-mounted panel of the same visible face area
- Larger ceiling void depth improves absorption at lower frequencies
- Coverage percentage of the ceiling directly affects reverberation reduction
The final acoustic performance depends on the selected thickness, product shape, installed quantity, spacing, suspension height, room volume, and existing surface finishes. We publish specific NRC/αw values only when backed by verified test reports for the exact configuration.
— FIRE PERFORMANCE —
Fire Performance
Selected fabric options are available with EN 13501-1 fire classifications. The fire rating of the complete assembled baffle system should be confirmed based on the selected construction and applicable test documentation.
— SUSPENSION OPTIONS —
Suspension Options
- Adjustable aircraft cables: standard vertical suspension
- Carrier rail suspension: linear rows and grid patterns
- Threaded rod suspension: heavier assemblies and horizontal clouds
- Custom support frame: architectural feature ceilings
- Multi-point suspension: circular and horizontal shapes
Linear and wave baffles are normally suspended vertically. Circular, square, and rectangular elements may be suspended horizontally. Suspension height can be adjusted per ceiling design. Final suspension depends on shape, weight, ceiling structure, and approved shop drawing.
— INSTALLATION —
Direction & Recommended Spacing
Recommended clear spacing between linear baffles is approximately 200–250 mm for standard high-performance layouts. Center-to-center spacing varies depending on baffle thickness and project layout — confirmed per approved shop drawing.

When to Use Fabric Baffles vs Clouds vs Wall Panels
Three fabric-wrapped acoustic products, three different jobs. Pick by the room's height, the surface you can cover, and the acoustic problem you are solving.
Fabric Baffles
- Ceilings 3.5 m+ · large volumes
- Existing MEP stays exposed above
- Best for controlling reverberation in halls, warehouses, restaurants
- → See 5 baffle shapes
Ceiling Clouds / Rafts
- Focused zones — over tables, meeting rooms, workstations
- Ceilings 2.7–4 m · target 30–50% coverage
- Same fabric-wrapped core, mounted face-parallel to the ceiling
- → Read the ceiling clouds guide
Fabric Acoustic Wall Panels
- Low ceilings · limited overhead room
- Speech intelligibility zones — offices, classrooms, conference rooms
- Camira fabric options, decorative finishes

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a fabric baffle and a fabric ceiling cloud?
Baffles are suspended vertically (edge-on to the ceiling) while clouds/rafts are suspended horizontally (face-parallel to the ceiling). Both use the same fabric-wrapped acoustic core; the orientation changes coverage and visual effect.
Read: Ceiling Clouds in Commercial SpacesAre all shapes manufactured using the same acoustic material?
Yes. All Yamamah fabric ceiling elements share the same acoustic core system and the same fabric finish. Only the shape, size, thickness, and suspension change per project requirement.
What thickness options are available?
Standard thicknesses are 25 mm and 50 mm. Custom thicknesses may be reviewed on request based on project acoustic targets.
Can the size and shape be customized?
Yes. Any shape from a vector file can be manufactured subject to structural and acoustic review. Custom sizes are subject to manufacturing feasibility.
Read: How to Choose the Right Acoustic Panels — 5-Step FrameworkHow are the baffles suspended?
Adjustable aircraft cables are the standard suspension. Carrier rails, threaded rods, or custom support frames are used for heavier layouts, circular elements, or horizontal installations.
Can circular and square elements be installed horizontally?
Yes. Circular, square, and rectangular fabric ceiling elements can be suspended horizontally as clouds/rafts, or vertically as baffles, depending on the acoustic and design intent.
How is the required quantity calculated?
Quantity depends on room volume, target reverberation time, ceiling coverage percentage, and shape selection. Our engineering team calculates the layout and BOQ from your drawings and acoustic target.
Read: How Many Acoustic Panels Do You Need? — Sizing MethodWhat spacing is recommended between the baffles?
Recommended clear spacing between linear baffles is approximately 200–250 mm for standard high-performance layouts. Center-to-center spacing varies depending on baffle thickness and project layout. Circular, square, and rectangular elements are arranged to reach a target ceiling coverage rather than by fixed spacing.
Read: Acoustic Panel Placement GuideCan fabric colours be selected for each project?
Yes. 67 selected standard colours are available, with additional colours from selected Camira collections available upon request. Custom fabric orders can also be arranged for large or brand-specific projects.
Are shop drawings available before production?
Yes. Shop drawings, method statements, and material submittals are prepared and issued for consultant approval before manufacturing.
Can different shapes be combined in one ceiling?
Yes. Mixing linear, circular, and horizontal elements is a common design pattern for feature ceilings, restaurants, and open workspaces.
How does the ceiling void affect acoustic performance?
The air gap between the baffle and the structural ceiling improves low-frequency absorption. Larger voids typically improve performance at bass frequencies but the exact gain depends on the whole assembly.
