BestFelt

BestFelt is a biobased acoustic panel produced in the Netherlands. The material is designed to provide sound absorption performance comparable to conventional PET felt products while incorporating natural fibres as its primary raw material.

Acoustic Properties
BestFelt achieves a sound absorption coefficient of αw = 1.2 when combined with a 40 mm layer of the biobased Silent Paper absorber. When installed with a 200 mm air gap, the panels achieve a Class A rating with an αw value of 1.0. These properties make the product suitable for use in applications requiring effective noise control.

Surface Appearance
The panels feature two distinct surface finishes. One side presents a uniform, solid-colour appearance, while the reverse side displays visible natural fibres integrated into the surface. This dual-sided design allows for varied aesthetic applications depending on project requirements.

Installation and Application
BestFelt panels are lightweight and semi-flexible. They can be cut to size and installed in various interior applications, including wall coverings and spatial dividers. The dimensions of each panel are 2800 x 1200 x 12 mm, with a weight of approximately 2400 g/m².

Material Composition and Environmental Aspects
The panels are composed of natural fibres, a binder, and a biobased fire retardant. The raw materials are sourced domestically, supporting regional agricultural supply chains. The use of biobased components contributes to reduced reliance on fossil-based resources and assists in lowering CO₂ emissions during production.

Performance and Indoor Environment
Acoustic control contributes to improved indoor comfort by reducing ambient noise levels, which may have positive effects on concentration and occupant well-being in certain environments. The biobased content of BestFelt provides an alternative for projects that prioritise sustainable material specifications. It has fire certification class B2, s1.

Colour Range
BestFelt is available in six standard colours: Healing Aloe, Seafoam, Moon Grey, Riverbed, Kayenta, and Bronze. Additional colour options are scheduled for release.
