  • Designs

    Nelson Baffles are designed to attach onto a standard black painted 15/16” tee bar grid with a simple pre-mounted baffle clip arrangement.

  • Acoustics

    Metal Baffles are available both non-perforated (non-acoustic) and perforated (acoustic). Perforation patterns are limited only to the type of material and gauge chosen. Presently Nelson Architectural Metals Division offers more than fifty different perforation patterns ranging from diagonal, staggered to straight as well as round, square and oblong holes.

    Our standard acoustical material consists of a Black pre-laminated fleece (SoundTex®) bonded to the inside surfaces of the baffles.
