Carnegie Acoustic Solutions, a division of Carnegie that manufactures sustainable acoustic design elements, is proud to launch the Xorel Artform U Baffle, a part of the Tuned Collection. Tuned products are designed to work seamlessly together to fine-tune sound experiences, offering complementary shapes, colors, and textures that transform walls and ceilings into functional, beautiful acoustic solutions.

"The U Baffle offers a perfect blend of sustainability, sound absorption, and style; it transforms ceilings into sophisticated, functional spaces—without breaking the budget,” said Dana Pucillo, Vice President of Acoustic Solutions at Carnegie. “The U Baffle helps designers bring Xorel-wrapped baffles into more projects, offering countless colors and textures while expertly finished with polished details and easy installation hardware.”

The Xorel Artform U Baffle provides superb acoustic performance with a sleek, sustainable design. It’s crafted utilizing the legendary performance of Xorel textiles, the safest, most environmentally responsible textile on the market. Cradle to Cradle™ Certified, lab tested, and proven for over 35 years, Xorel has the acoustic transparency to allow sound to easily reach its acoustically absorbent substrate, Kirei recycled PET made from at least 60% post-consumer plastics, minimizing waste and delivering remarkable sound absorption. Over 350 Xorel textile options, brushed metal end caps, and low-profile hardware complete the U Baffle’s premium look. U Baffle offers an Array-NRC rating between 0.35 and 0.60, depending on installation, and can be customized to a designer’s exact specification.

When designers specify Xorel Artform, they can utilize Carnegie’s Acoustic Design Services, a complimentary support service with an in-house team of design professionals to help curate bespoke product selections to meet project design specifications, performance needs, and budget requirements. Design Services provides sample packages tailored to project requirements and expertly executed design layouts and renderings. An acoustic consultant is also available for projects with demanding acoustic performance requirements.
