Our Hollow Round PET Felt Acoustic Panel Ceiling is a sophisticated modular system designed to redefine the overhead environment. Moving beyond the flat, sterile look of traditional drop ceilings, these circular, hollow-core panels offer a dynamic visual rhythm and superior acoustic performance for high-traffic modern spaces.
360-Degree Acoustic Capture: The hollow circular design exposes both the front and back surfaces of the felt, effectively doubling the absorption area.
Biophilic Geometric Aesthetic: A soft, circular profile that breaks up the rigid lines of modern architecture, creating a more welcoming, organic atmosphere.
Sustainable Materiality: Engineered from 100% polyester fiber with high recycled PET content, supporting green building goals and healthy indoor air.
Lightweight Modular System: Easy to suspend or direct-mount, allowing for seamless integration with existing lighting, HVAC, and fire suppression systems.

Look up at a typical ceiling, and you usually see a flat, uninspiring expanse of white tiles. Now, imagine a ceiling that feels alive—a canopy of soft, floating halos that drift across the space like geometric clouds. This is the sensory experience of our Hollow Round PET Felt Acoustic system. When you touch these panels, you feel the dense, velvety warmth of high-quality compressed fiber. There is no sharp glare or cold metallic reflection; instead, the matte finish of the felt gently diffuses the light, softening the entire room. As people speak, the air feels different—the sharp clatter of a busy lobby or the echoing hum of a cafeteria is replaced by a plush, intimate quietude.
The inspiration for the Hollow Round series came from the natural world—the way light filters through a forest canopy. We wanted to create a ceiling solution that provides privacy and focus without closing the space in. By hollowing out the center of these circular panels, we allow the eye to travel through the layers, maintaining the volume of the room while managing its energy. Each "halo" acts as a silent guardian of comfort, catching sound waves from every direction and neutralizing them within its porous structure. It’s an investment in the human experience of a building, turning a functional necessity into an artistic statement that makes every occupant feel more focused, relaxed, and inspired.
The hollow circular design is not merely a stylistic choice; it is a calculated acoustic advantage that optimizes sound energy dissipation.
Dual-Surface Absorption: Unlike wall panels that only absorb sound from the front, our suspended hollow rounds capture sound on both sides. This creates a "trap" for sound waves reflecting off the ceiling, drastically reducing the reverberation time ($T_{60}$) in large, high-ceilinged spaces.
Enhanced Diffusion Properties: The curved edges of the round panels help diffuse sound waves in multiple directions. This prevents the formation of "standing waves" and creates a more balanced, natural acoustic field where speech remains crystal clear without being "deadened."
Seismic and Structural Safety: Because PET felt is incredibly lightweight and shatterproof, these panels are inherently safer than heavy plaster or mineral fiber tiles in high-activity areas. They pose zero risk of injury if dislodged and do not put excessive strain on the building's structural suspension system.
Anti-Microbial and Clean Air Integrity: Our panels do not "breathe" out fibers or support the growth of mold. They are safe for use in healthcare facilities and high-density offices, maintaining their pristine look and performance without releasing harmful particulates into the ventilation system.
Based on global interior design benchmarks, we evaluate our hollow round ceiling systems across dimensions that ensure they integrate perfectly with complex MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) layouts.
MEP Integration Versatility: The hollow center of the panels is the perfect conduit for modern lighting fixtures, fire sprinklers, or HVAC vents. This allows engineers to maintain the building's functional needs without compromising the aesthetic flow of the acoustic design.
Modular "Cloud" Scalability: These are not "all or nothing" solutions. You can cluster them in high-noise zones (like reception desks) or spread them out for a minimalist look. This modularity allows for targeted acoustic treatment where it is needed most, optimizing your project budget.
Tonal and Color Consistency: We offer a palette of solution-dyed colors that remain vibrant even under the intense UV exposure of high-ceiling skylights. Whether you choose a bold primary color or a subtle heathered grey, the finish is uniform and premium.
Impact Resilience: Ceilings in gymnasiums or multipurpose halls often face physical impacts. Our PET felt is highly resilient; it will not dent, crack, or break when hit by a ball or equipment, returning to its original shape every time.
The Hollow Round system is engineered for spaces where both "visual volume" and "acoustic intimacy" are required.
Modern Open-Plan Offices: Create "acoustic islands" over workstations or lounge areas. The circular shapes define zones without the need for physical walls, promoting a sense of openness and collaboration.
Educational & Multi-Purpose Halls: Manage the high-decibel noise of student traffic in libraries and commons area. The suspended rounds prevent sound from "piling up" in high-ceilinged voids.
Hospitality & Retail Lobbies: Make an immediate architectural impression. Use varying diameters and suspension heights to create a 3D landscape that speaks to the brand’s commitment to quality and comfort.
Creative Hubs & Recording Studios: Use the hollow rounds as secondary diffusers. They provide the necessary high-frequency absorption while maintaining enough "air" in the room for a natural, non-clinical recording environment.
Precision manufacturing is the difference between a ceiling that looks "clunky" and one that looks "premium."
Advanced CNC Radial Cutting: We utilize high-speed CNC cutting to ensure every circle is perfectly concentric and every edge is smooth. This allows for flawless alignment when multiple panels are hung in a cluster.
Verified Suspension Hardware: We provide professional-grade aircraft cable kits with adjustable grippers. Our hardware is weight-tested to ensure that your ceiling installation remains perfectly level and secure for the life of the building.
Sustainable Supply Chain Excellence: We are a leader in circular manufacturing. Every panel represents dozens of recycled water bottles, and our production process is optimized to minimize offcut waste, which is then recycled back into new fiber.
Comprehensive Project Consultation: We don’t just sell panels; we provide acoustic layouts. Our team can help you determine the exact NRC requirements for your specific room volume and provide suspension diagrams to facilitate a fast, error-free installation by your on-site contractors.
How do I clean suspended ceiling panels?
PET felt is naturally anti-static and does not attract dust. For high-ceiling installations, an occasional dusting with a telescopic soft brush or compressed air is all that is required to keep them looking factory-new.
Can lighting be integrated into the hollow center?
Yes! This is one of the most popular uses for the hollow round design. Pendant lights or spotlights can be centered within the "halo" to create a stunning integrated lighting and acoustic fixture.
How do these panels affect fire sprinklers?
Because they are suspended and have a hollow center, they generally do not obstruct fire sprinkler patterns. However, we recommend checking local building codes for specific "cloud" coverage regulations.
What is the best height to hang them?
For optimal acoustic absorption, we recommend hanging the panels at least 300mm (12 inches) below the actual ceiling. This creates the necessary air gap to capture sound waves on both sides of the felt.
Are they sold as a kit?
We offer both individual panels and complete "ready-to-hang" kits that include the aircraft cables and ceiling fasteners, ensuring you have everything you need for a professional installation.
