“Arbor distinguishes itself from our other models thanks to its innovative continuous connections,” says Rob Perri, President, Turf Design. “Through our engineering team’s research and development, and as a direct response to market needs, we’ve extended our abilities to create a ceiling system that, with customization, covers spaces with stunning, sound-absorbing aesthetic appeal.”
The Arbor canopy baffle system attaches to low-cost infrastructure, a standard 15/16” T-Grid, with options of two profile widths and no additional hardware necessary. It is available as a module – four baffles that are 16”x120” – or individual baffles with a maximum length of 120”. The modules are linked by intermittent felt Gridlock crossbars that run 16” to provide flawless connectivity. The Gridlock connection also enables baffles or modules to be placed in staggered formations across the ceiling for greater visual interest, while maintaining acoustic performance.
End caps, for a clean finish, and infill panel, for improved acoustic performance, can also be added to Arbor baffles. Arbor’s noise reduction coefficient (NRC) ranges from .55 to .95 with infill panels dramatically increasing their performance in testing. As with all TURF products, the baffles are made with 9mm 60% pre-consumer PET felt boards that result in a soft heathered effect with 30 different color options. Arbor can also have the appearance of wood ingrained in the baffles with eight of our wood-inspired textures digitally printed onto the felt boards.
