The SAS500 is a linear acoustic baffle system, ideal for enhancing both the aesthetics and acoustics of exposed soffit areas in commercial and public spaces. 

The system features double-faced panels with a 50mm mineral wool core, effectively absorbing sound and reducing reverberation to enhance speech intelligibility. 

Baffles can be suspended individually or in continuous runs at varying heights and angles, creating dynamic ceiling designs. They are compatible with integrated lighting solutions, including traditional and fluorescent LED options, enhancing illumination in open-plan spaces.

Ceiling mounted acoustic baffles provide acoustic absorption whilst allowing the concrete soffit to be fully exposed for energy-efficient natural cross ventilation cooling.

When acoustic baffles are suspended in large atria, they can also double as solar shading by diffusing natural daylight from their reflective surface. 

The SAS500 baffle system has a minimum 25-year product life expectancy.
