9 mm PET Felt Acoustic Wall Tiles 1200x600x9 mm – Ready-to-Install Acoustic Panels for Glue-On Mounting
The vitAcoustic acoustic wall tiles are precut wall panels made from our 9 mm PET felt acoustic panel – in a manageable 1200x600x9 mm format, equivalent to a quarter of a full panel. We developed them for home improvement stores, DIY projects, and end users: small, easy-to-handle elements that one person can glue to the wall – without cutting, special tools, or a second person to help.
The small format offers several advantages: affordable parcel shipping instead of bulky shipments by freight forwarder, space-saving storage, and simple, step-by-step installation – from a single accent area to full wall cladding. You can build your wall design gradually, in one color or as a lively pattern.

Why 9 mm Is Enough for Sound Absorption
Like any soft fibrous absorber, PET felt “slows down” sound as air flows through the open felt structure and loses energy. Directly against a hard wall, however, the air barely moves – even a thick panel absorbs only high frequencies there. An air cavity behind the tile (e.g., created by furring strips) allows the air to move, enabling the felt to work where it matters in everyday use: in the human voice range (around 200–500 Hz). The determining factor is therefore not material thickness, but the assembly.
Acoustic Performance (Tested to ISO 354, Rated to DIN EN ISO 11654)
The tiles are acoustically identical to our 9-mm panels – you control their performance through the mounting method. We specify the weighted sound absorption coefficient αw and the commonly used NRC rating:
-
Glued directly to the wall: αw 0.25 / NRC 0.30 – Class E (decorative, low absorption)
-
On furring strips with an air gap of ~50 mm: αw 0.55–0.60 / NRC 0.65 – Class D–C (noticeably broader-band absorption)
-
100 mm air gap (furring strips): αw 0.75 / NRC 0.75 – Class C
-
150 mm air gap (furring strips): αw 0.80 / NRC 0.80 – Class B
-
Insulated furring assembly or nonwoven composite (9 + 40 mm): sound absorption class A – plus vapor-permeable thermal insulation
All classes and ratings apply to the mounting method specified; measurements to ISO 354, ratings to DIN EN ISO 11654. Practical absorption in the speech-relevant range of 200–500 Hz is particularly high with an air gap.
The wall tiles thus help reduce reverberation time in accordance with DIN 18041 and improve speech intelligibility. For the highest Class A in a flat-mounted installation, we recommend the nonwoven composite or an insulated furring assembly. For custom sizes beyond 1200x600x9 mm, see our 9-mm panels cut to size.
Textures – Our Distinctive Design Feature
The tiles are much more than a smooth surface: we have developed our own genuine V-Cut textures, formed by V-shaped cuts in the material – not a printed pattern, but a three-dimensional, tactile structure with depth. Their design draws on traditional building knowledge: the modular building dimension, an octametric dimensional system based on the eighth-meter module (12.5 cm). This dimensional system not only minimizes offcuts and improves the appearance of exposed masonry – it also allows the tiles to be combined vertically, horizontally, and rotated (placed next to one another) without making the tile joint noticeable. This creates large, continuous wall patterns from individual tiles.
-
Bricks – masonry texture in a “random bond” pattern: a captivating, lively brick texture; the brick sizes follow the modular building dimensions, allowing surfaces to continue seamlessly.
-
Triangle-V (orthogonal) and Triangle-D (diagonal): modern triangular textures based on the eighth-meter building module – graphic, understated, and combinable in any direction.
-
Lines: a fine grooved texture with various spacings (100 / 38 / 15 mm), plus Lines irregular (lengthwise, crosswise, diagonal) for a more dynamic line pattern.
-
Without texture – an elegant modular pattern: simple and timeless; each tile is chamfered on all edges, and the fine 2–3-mm joint visually compensates for substrate tolerances. The interplay of color and vertical or horizontal orientation creates individual, elegant wall patterns.
-
Custom design: your own texture based on your artwork.
The V-Cut textures are more than a design feature: the grooves increase the surface area and provide additional sound scattering (diffusion) – reducing flutter echoes and allowing sound to decay more evenly throughout the room.
Applications and Typical Uses
- Acoustic wall cladding in offices, conference rooms, and coworking spaces
- Sound-absorbing wall designs in schools, daycare centers, and clinics
- Decorative accent walls in hotels, restaurants, and reception areas
- Medical practices and therapy rooms – speech privacy and a quiet atmosphere
- Multicolor wall patterns and color compositions as design elements
- CMYK-printed acoustic artwork, company logos, and photographic images
- V-Cut textures for tactile, three-dimensional surface designs
For home builders and homeowners: Mounted on furring strips with insulation, the tiles combine two things that would otherwise be separate expenses – thermal insulation and acoustics in one. This saves costs and noticeably improves comfort at home: warm walls that do not feel clammy, significantly less reverberation, and an attractive, colorful wall design that becomes a focal point. The vapor-permeable PET structure lets the wall breathe while you improve room acoustics and appearance in a single installation – ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, studies, home offices, or home theaters.
Wall Cladding: Decorative, Acoustically Effective, and Thermally Insulating
As acoustic wall cladding, the PET felt panels combine design and function in a single layer. More than 50 colors are available, all with a reaction-to-fire classification of B-s1,d0 (flame-resistant to EN 13501-1). V-Cut textures and direct UV printing turn the panel into a personalized wall surface – from an understated solid color to an image or logo.
The wall cladding serves two functions: it absorbs sound while also insulating the wall from the inside. The textile surface feels warmer than plaster, concrete, or glass and stays warmer than the cold wall behind it – a noticeable comfort benefit, particularly in rooms that are not continuously heated for cost reasons. One material thus delivers acoustic comfort and a warmer-feeling room.
Fabrication and Installation – Manageable by One Person
One person can install the manageable tiles – no second person is needed. Cutting is only necessary to fit wall dimensions and create openings (e.g., for outlets) – simply use a knife or utility knife; the material does not crumble or generate dust during cutting. You have several mounting options:
-
Glue directly to the wall (the newer option): particularly as a nonwoven composite – the tile with a 40-mm nonwoven backing is glued directly to the wall, achieving sound absorption class A without furring strips. Clean and degrease the substrate, then secure with a tested adhesive (e.g., UHU Polymax High Grip, UHU por) or double-sided tape (CT-S 5735).
-
On furring strips (the traditional option): with an air gap (e.g., 50 mm) for higher, broadband absorption; optionally fill the cavity with insulation – this provides Class A plus vapor-permeable thermal insulation.
-
Magnets or Z-clips (optional): for precisely aligned installation that can be removed without tools.
Tested adhesives are available from us as optional accessories.
Cleaning and care: vacuum or wipe with a damp cloth, as with textile coverings. Stubborn grease stains can be dissolved with a little thinner, and coffee or wine stains can be bleached with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) – without damaging the PET fibers or color.
Colors, Availability, and Delivery Time
Our PET colors are divided into four collections – these determine storage 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 continuously stocked at our warehouse in Germany and regularly replenished – available from 1 panel, with smaller quantities usually delivered in just 1–2 weeks, including cutting to size and fabrication
-
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 quantity at our production site – because changing over PET production involves high setup costs, production is economical only in large quantities. This inventory investment is supported by the global market, not Europe alone; it enables us to offer 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 web, with cut positions across the width and length freely selectable
Fast delivery, including cutting to size and fabrication, is one of our strengths – especially for projects with tight deadlines.
Note on quantities: “from 1 panel” and “from approx. 300 panels” refer to full raw panels (2440x1220x9 mm), from which we cut your tiles – not to the number of finished tiles. Each raw panel produces several tiles, depending on the format.
Material and Manufacturing
The vitAcoustic wall tiles are made from recycled PET plastic bottles, which are processed into textile fibers and laid into a fiber web using a felting process. This web is thermally bonded: a proportion of blended-in PET binder fibers (bicomponent fibers) partially melts in the oven and bonds the structure into a dimensionally stable panel – entirely without chemical adhesives or binders. The recycled content is certified by SCS Global Services.
- High areal weight (1.9 kg/m²) with a low individual weight (approx. 1.4 kg per tile) – dimensionally stable and easy to handle
- Unaffected by moisture and water-resistant
- Resistant to mold, pests, and dust mites
- Suitable for allergy sufferers – no volatile constituents
- Fully recyclable at the end of its service life
Certifications and Standards
Tested for harmful substances and low-emitting: Our PET acoustic panels are GREENGUARD Gold certified (UL 2818) and meet strict limits for chemical emissions indoors. Formaldehyde emissions are far below the requirements applicable throughout the EU from August 6, 2026 (REACH Annex XVII). In addition, the materials are tested for substances of concern to human health in accordance with OEKO-TEX Standard 100.
Fire performance even in freestanding applications: The 9-mm PET felt also achieves Class B-s1,d0 (flame-resistant, EN 13501-1, TÜV SÜD) when freely suspended or freestanding – without rear fixing – relevant for ceiling clouds, baffles, and room dividers.
