Abstract
An acoustic baffle (1) to be arranged in a building for the absorption of sound propagating there through, the acoustic baffle (1) comprising at least one panel (2) of a sound absorbing material, wherein the baffle (1) comprises at least one edge portion (3) having a recess (4) arranged therein of a size and shape so as to be capable of accommodating a suspension profile (8) in form-fit therein.

Acoustic baffle to be arranged in a building for the absorption of sound propagating there through, the acoustic baffle comprising at least one panel of a sound absorbing material, wherein the acoustic baffle comprises at least one edge portion having a recess arranged therein so as to include and being formed in a first side surface and a second side surface and being of a size and shape so as to be capable of accommodating a suspension profile in form-fit therein, wherein the acoustic baffle is frameless, and wherein the recess extends continuously along the at least one edge portion between the first side surface and the second side surface so that the suspension profile is insertable via the first side surface or the second side surface and is slidable along the recess.
Method for producing an acoustic baffle comprising the steps of:
- providing a panel of a sound absorbing material;
- applying an illustration or a decor on at least one main surface of the panel;
- providing at least one slit in another surface of the panel to form a recess capable of accommodating a suspension profile in form-fit therein;
- cutting separate V-shaped cut out sections between a first panel portion and a third panel portion and between a second panel portion and the third panel portion, respectively;
- folding the first panel portion towards the second panel portion so that one side surface of the first panel portion contacts one side surface of the second panel portion;
- cutting a first slit into the first panel portion and a second slit into the second panel portion so as to form a recess capable of accommodating a suspension profile therein when folded;
- and
- arranging the suspension profile in the recess;
- wherein the acoustic baffle is pushed on the suspension profile such that the suspension profile slides along the recess until its final position is reached.
