Is the felt acoustic panels suitable for outdoor use?

As a manufacturer of 3D Acoustic Panels, we are often asked if 3D Acoustic Panels are suitable for outdoor environments. Today, we will answer this question in detail and discuss the performance and considerations for outdoor use of polyester fibre acoustic panels.

PET Acoustic Panel is mainly designed to be used in indoor environments, its suitability and effectiveness in outdoor applications are affected by the following factors:

1. weather resistance:

   - MATERIAL STABILITY: Most Pet Acoustic Panel materials, such as mineral or glass wool, are generally not suitable for long-term exposure to outdoor environments. They can be affected by moisture, sunlight and temperature changes, which can affect their performance and durability.

   - Moisture-resistant treatment: Some specially designed moisture-resistant 3D Acoustic Panels are weather-resistant, but even so it is recommended to avoid direct exposure to outdoor conditions as much as possible.

2. Water and corrosion resistance:

   - Waterproof: PET Acoustic Panels in outdoor environments need to be highly waterproof. Ordinary 3D Acoustic Panels may absorb moisture, deform or lose sound absorption when exposed to water. For outdoor applications, it is recommended to choose specially treated waterproof Felt Acoustic Panels.

   - Corrosion resistance: Outdoor environments may involve different corrosive substances, such as airborne salts or chemicals. It is necessary to choose treated or corrosion-resistant acoustic materials.

3. Maintenance and care:

   - Regular inspections: When using PET Acoustic Panel outdoors, the condition of the material needs to be checked regularly to ensure that there is no damage or deterioration in performance due to environmental factors.

   - Environmental protection: If it is indeed necessary to use the PET Acoustic Panel outdoors, consider providing it with appropriate protection, such as a waterproof cover or shelter, to minimise the impact of environmental factors on its performance.

4. Areas of Application:

   - TEMPORARY STRUCTURES: In certain temporary outdoor structures or environments, such as temporary exhibition shelters or outdoor event areas, specially treated PET Acoustic Panel may be suitable. However, the service life and performance limitations need to be clarified.
