Premium Pet Panel Systems
PET felt acoustic wall panels are manufactured from recycled polyester fibers, giving them a soft, textile-like appearance with the acoustic performance of a traditional absorptive panel. Because the material is non-fibrous and low-VOC, PET panels are well suited to occupied interior spaces where indoor air quality and comfort both matter.
Beyond sound control, PET panels are prized by designers and architects for their versatility — they can be cut, shaped, printed, and layered into two- and three-dimensional patterns that double as a feature wall. Memtech works with several manufacturers to offer PET solutions ranging from simple flat boards to sculptural geometric systems, so the acoustic treatment can be sized to the room and the design intent at the same time.

Key Applications
Common places where acoustic foam panels are used in.
Open-plan offices
Reduce speech transmission and background noise between workstations
Restaurants
Printed or geometric panels that double as a design feature
Schools & libraries
Improve speech intelligibility while adding tackable, colorful surfaces
Recording Studios
Professional-grade acoustic treatment for any studio
Acoustic wall Systems
Pet Panel Variations
PET panel systems can be configured along several axes, allowing the acoustic treatment to be tuned to both performance targets and design intent:
Performance Highlights:
- Shape & format: flat sheets, tiles, hexagons, triangles, bricks, baffles, and clouds
- Thickness: thin (comparable to felt) up to multi-layer, air-cavity assemblies for higher NRC
- Color & finish: dozens of standard felt colors, with custom color matching available on most lines
- Surface treatment: plain felt face, digitally printed graphics, or wood-grain finishes
- Mounting method: direct glue-applied, mechanically fastened, or air-gap mounted (air gap generally improves low-frequency absorption)
- Functionality: tackable/pinboard surfaces for collaborative or educational spaces
Acoustic WALL Systems
PET Felt Wall Panels (Flat & Tackable)
Our base PET felt panel is a smooth, flat board available in a wide range of thicknesses, colors, and edge profiles. It can be glued directly to a wall, mounted with an air gap for higher absorption, or specified as a tackable pinboard surface for collaborative spaces.
Performance Highlights:
- NRC generally ranges from roughly 0.25 (direct-applied, thin gauge) up to 0.85 or higher when mounted with an air gap
- Thicknesses typically from about 1/4" up to 1"+, in sheet sizes up to 4' × 8'
- Class A fire rating (ASTM E84) available
- Can be CNC-routed, laser-cut, or waterjet-cut into custom shapes and logos
Acoustic wall Systems
Printed PET Panels
For projects that want branding, artwork, or photography integrated into the acoustic treatment, PET panels can be digitally printed edge-to-edge while retaining their sound-absorbing properties.
Performance Highlights:
- Same acoustic core as standard flat PET panels
- Full-color, high-resolution printing for logos, murals, wayfinding, or biophilic imagery
- Popular for lobbies, reception walls, and brand environments
Acoustic WALL Systems
Geometric & Dimensional PET Panels (Tetrix, Tri-Hex & similar systems)
Faceted, three-dimensional PET panel systems introduce depth and shadow line to a wall while adding acoustic value. These modular tiles are typically offered in multiple shapes (square, hexagonal, triangular) and depths, letting designers mix sizes across a single wall.
- Modular tiles that combine into larger geometric patterns
- Multiple depth/thickness options per shape family for varied visual texture
- NRC performance varies by depth and mounting — lower for thin, direct-applied tiles and significantly higher for deeper, air-cavity designs
- Hidden or concealed mounting hardware available on some product lines for a cleaner reveal

Why Memtech Acoustics?
Unlike generic off-the-shelf foam panels, Memtech’s acoustic wall systems are engineered, specified, and installed to perform optimally for your unique environment.
Here’s what sets us apart:
- Comprehensive Site Acoustic Assessments
We use Sound Level Meters (SLMs) and advanced modeling software to evaluate your space. This ensures the recommended panel system targets the most problematic frequencies and delivers measurable results. - Code & Compliance Expertise
From OSHA noise exposure limits to IBC fire safety classifications, our team ensures your installation meets or exceeds applicable standards. - Full Installation & Commissioning
Our team handles every detail, from design to project management to final fit and finish. We verify post-installation performance with follow-up acoustic testing to confirm target results have been achieved. - Proven ROI
Clients typically see 20–50% reduction in reverberation time (RT60) after acoustic treatment, as well as improved speech transmission index (STI) scores for better communication. - Fewer noise complaints
Higher productivity, and enhanced occupant comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is a PET felt acoustic panel made of
PET felt panels are made from recycled polyester (PET) fibers — the same material used in plastic bottles — pressed into a dense, felt-like board that absorbs sound while remaining lightweight and low-VOC.
How does PET panel performance compare to foam or fiberglass panels?
PET panels generally offer strong mid-to-high frequency absorption and can match or approach foam-panel NRC ratings when mounted with an air gap, while offering a more textile-like, design-forward finish.
Can PET panels be tackable?
Yes. Many PET panel lines can be specified as tackable/pinboard surfaces, making them useful as a combined acoustic and functional wall finish in classrooms and offices.
Are PET panels good for LEED projects?
Yes. Because they're made from recycled content and are low-VOC, PET panels can support material and indoor air quality credits, and documentation such as EPDs and HPDs is available on request.
