FilaSorb™ is Acoufelt’s high quality felt material, used as the primary component in a number of our products. FilaSorb™ felt is designed for acoustics, sustainability, human safety, depth of color and smooth surface printing.
This is delivered through calibrated high-quality sourcing and manufacturing processes. FilaSorb™ is made from a substantially heterogeneous blend of fine fibers; different denier combined for specific acoustic results.
Beginning with careful sourcing, through to skilful manufacturing, FilaSorb™ is quality controlled at every step. Fine fibers of different denier are blended to create material in a range of thicknesses with strong acoustic properties. The specialized construction ensures a highly active surface area for sound absorption, and a greater area for dispersion of sound.
We view waste as a resource in the manufacture of our FilaSorb™, incorporating a minimum of 60% recycled PET material. Every square meter of FilaSorb™ diverts on average approximately 108 x 600ml PET drinking bottles from landfill. To close the loop on the circular economy, products made from FilaSorb™ can be recycled again at the end of their useful life.
Fibers within the FilaSorb™ blend are selected and sourced from a small group of trusted suppliers. By combining fibers of different color tones and thicknesses, Acoufelt maintains a high level of control over the color finish, evidenced in the depth and strong saturation of color of FilaSorb™ products.
We’ve tested the Light Reflectance Values (LRV) of each of our FilaSorb™ colors, to ensure you can select the optimal shades for your design projects.
The smooth surface of FilaSorb™ felt allows our acoustic products to be printed with high precision, without impacting acoustic performance. With QuietPrint™, each fiber is colored with high precision, ensuring the airgaps in our FilaSorb™ acoustic material remain open to absorbing sound.
