vitAcoustic Ceiling Clouds with Wood Frames – made-to-measure acoustic clouds for ceilings, in custom shapes and colors
vitAcoustic ceiling clouds with wood frames are made-to-measure, freely suspended acoustic absorbers made of 9 mm PET felt – a floating design element that provides acoustic control across large ceiling areas while creating a visual focal point. A wood frame (18 × 40 mm) glued to the back keeps even large clouds flat over time and prevents sagging.
The frame is glued in place, inset behind the panel, so it is barely visible from below – giving the cloud a light, floating appearance. Its edges are covered with the same PET felt as the visible face. This maintains a consistent PET appearance even where the cloud is viewed from the side – for example, above stairwells or from lower levels.
Clouds with wood frames are intended exclusively for ceiling mounting. For wall mounting, we recommend our vitAcoustic Elements (VAE) or the 9-mm panel in a nonwoven composite.
The wood frame – concealed support
A wood frame measuring 40 mm high and 18 mm wide is glued to the back of the 9-mm PET panel. It gives the cloud the necessary rigidity – especially in large formats, where an unframed panel would sag over time. Because it is inset and covered with PET, it remains almost invisible from below without interfering with the floating, frameless appearance.
Optional nonwoven backing: For maximum absorption, our PET composite nonwoven can also be inserted into the frame – the cloud then achieves the highest sound absorption class A.
Acoustic performance (rated according to DIN EN ISO 11654)
As a freely suspended cloud, the PET panel absorbs sound on both sides and uses the large distance from the ceiling as an air cushion – exactly the configuration in which thin PET felt performs at its best. Performance is determined not by material thickness, but by the distance from the hard surface.
-
Freely suspended cloud (9 mm): high broadband absorption – up to sound absorption class A
-
With nonwoven backing inside the frame: sound absorption class A assured, including in the low-mid speech frequency range
The clouds therefore support compliance with DIN 18041 for reducing reverberation time and improve speech intelligibility – especially in tall, reverberant rooms with large floor areas.
As with Elements, you can choose any shape at no additional cost – the price depends solely on size. This allows you to create an individual ceiling layout:
-
Custom shapes: rectangle, square, circle, hexagon, cloud/freeform, and many more – combine as desired
-
Freely selectable corner rounding (in the configuration) – from sharp corners to gently rounded corners
-
Surface textures: incised V-Cut designs (e.g., Lines) for depth through light and shadow
-
Cutout patterns: openwork designs for graphic effects
Sizes from 400x400x50 mm to 2400x1200x50 mm
The clouds are available in eight size categories, with freely selectable final dimensions within each category. Your choice of size is also a design decision:
-
Small formats (400x400x50 mm to 800x600x50 mm) create a particularly lively effect as mixed clusters – ideal for playful, colorful ceilings in daycare centers, pediatric practices, or retail spaces.
-
Large formats (1200x800x50 mm to 2400x1200x50 mm) provide a large absorption area per cloud with calm, understated shapes – an efficient solution for offices, conference rooms, and commercial projects.
Each product listing includes a brief note on typical applications for that size.
Mounting and lighting
-
Cable suspension: discreet stainless steel cable hangers (2/3- or 3/4-point), with continuously adjustable height – the cloud hangs flat and securely below the ceiling.
-
Magnetic mounting: removable mounting with a small gap (approx. 50 mm) from the ceiling or wall.
-
Optional LED integration: professional-grade indirect LED lighting (including DALI-dimmable options) or direct, glare-free downward-facing LED lenses – lighting and acoustics in one unit.
Applications
Offices and conference rooms: floating clouds above meeting areas and open-plan spaces – improve speech intelligibility without structural alterations.
Lobbies, reception areas, and commercial projects: distinctive ceiling design in tall, reverberant rooms.
Restaurants and hotels: acoustic calm above table groupings, buffets, and lounges.
Daycare centers, schools, and medical practices: colorful clusters that create a decorative, sound-absorbing ceiling layout.
Colors, availability, and delivery time
Our PET colors are divided into four collections – these determine stock location, minimum quantity, and delivery time, depending on color and material thickness (the same color may belong to a different collection depending on thickness). The collection is indicated in the item number; you can see the current stock level, delivery time, and minimum order quantity for each item directly in the “PET Color” selection field.
-
Standard & Trend: over 30 colors always stocked at our warehouse in Germany, with ongoing replenishment – available from 1 panel, with smaller quantities usually delivered in just 1–2 weeks, including cutting to size and processing
-
Extended: also available from 1 panel, with a delivery time of approx. 6 weeks (rail freight). We stock several thousand panels in selected colors and thicknesses in Germany, and many times that number at our production site – because changing over PET production involves high setup costs, production is only economical in large quantities. This inventory investment is supported by the global market, not Europe alone; it enables us to provide the full range of colors and thicknesses
-
Production: manufactured specifically for your project – from approx. 300 panels (in some cases from as few as 200). We can start a batch at any time, match any desired color, and supply custom dimensions; production runs at a width of 244 cm in a continuous length, with freely selectable cuts across the width and along the length
Fast delivery, including cutting to size and processing, is one of our strengths – especially for projects with tight deadlines.
Note on quantities: “from 1 panel” and “from approx. 300 panels” refer to whole raw panels (2440x1220x9 mm) from which we cut your clouds – not to the number of finished clouds. Depending on the selected size, one raw panel yields several clouds, or one large cloud requires several panels.
Material and origin
The visible face consists of 9 mm PET felt made from recycled PET bottles, bonded exclusively using the needle technique (felt / nonwoven) – without adhesives or binders. The recycled content is certified by SCS Global Services; the optional nonwoven backing is produced in Germany. Cutting to size and final manufacturing take place in Straubenhardt, Germany (Made in Germany).
- Very lightweight (approx. 3 kg/m²) – quick and easy to install, even where structural load capacity is limited
- Moisture-resistant, wipe-resistant, free of fiber dust, suitable for allergy sufferers
- Resistant to mold, pests, and dust mites
- Fully recyclable at the end of its service life
Certificates and standards
Tested for harmful substances and low-emitting: Our PET acoustic panels are GREENGUARD Gold certified (UL 2818) and meet strict limits for indoor chemical emissions. Formaldehyde emissions are far below the requirements that apply throughout the EU from August 6, 2026 (REACH Annex XVII). The materials are also tested according to OEKO-TEX Standard 100 for substances of concern to human health.
Fire performance even when freestanding: The 9-mm PET felt achieves class B-s1,d0 (flame-resistant, EN 13501-1, TÜV SÜD) even in freely suspended or freestanding applications – without rear attachment – relevant for ceiling clouds, baffles, and room dividers.
-
Flame-resistant according to EN 13501-1 (B-s1,d0) – corresponds to fire class B1 according to DIN 4102
-
OEKO-TEX Standard 100 – tested for harmful substances
-
Greenguard Gold – low VOC emissions
-
EPD – relevant for DGNB and LEED projects
-
