Flamex Baffles
Weighted sound absorption coefficient up to αw = 0.80
Non-fibrous and dust-free material
Customizable layout for suspended ceilings
Flamex Baffles are open-cell melamine foam panels designed for suspension from ceilings or placement in open spaces where high acoustic performance is required. Lightweight (~7 kg/m³), thermally stable and fire-retardant, they are ideal for offices, studios, auditoria, gyms and industrial environments.
Standard sizes per type:
- Flamex Baffle: flat panel, 1,200 × 220 × 50 mm
- Flamex Kubus Baffle: cube-shaped, 200 × 200 × 200 mm
- Flamex Cilinder Baffle: cylindrical, Ø 200 mm × 1,200 mm
While technical performance is consistent across all types, the shape influences acoustic diffusion, aesthetics and layout flexibility.
Flamex Baffles offer a sound absorption coefficient (αw) of up to 0.80, depending on installation density:
- 4.2 baffles/m²: weighted sound reduction coefficient αw = 0.80
- 1.1 baffles/m²: weighted sound reduction coefficient αw = 0.45 – 0.50
The panels have a thermal conductivity of λ ≈ 0.033–0.037 W/(m·K) and maintain stability at temperatures from –43 °C to +150 °C. Fire performance is tested to EN 13501-1, Class C, with smoke production s2 and droplet formation d0. The material is fibre-free, dust-free and ageing-resistant.
Flamex Baffles are ideal for suspended ceiling systems, freestanding acoustic elements or decorative installations in offices, studios, auditoria, gyms and industrial spaces. Panels can be cut to size, arranged in custom patterns and mounted with wire hangers or brackets. Panels should be acclimatised for 24 hours prior to installation.

Answers to common questions
Merford can perform acoustic analyses or simulations to predict noise levels and reverberation times based on material selection, room dimensions, and finishes, ensuring the right solution is designed.
Our acoustic materials generally require minimal maintenance. Dusting and cleaning is usually sufficient to maintain long‑term performance.
- Vibration isolation reduces mechanical vibrations from machines or equipment, preventing transmission to the building structure or floor.
- Sound insulation prevents sound from passing from one space to another, e.g., between rooms or to the exterior.
- Sound absorption reduces echo and reverberation within a space by damping sound waves, improving comfort and speech intelligibility.
Merford materials can provide one or more of these effects depending on the product type, such as absorption panels for rooms or isolation around ventilation units.
