TavolaBaffle Ceiling Systems™

Creating spacious environments

FLEXIBLE BY DESIGNACOUSTIC PERFORMANCEThe Hunter Douglas Baffle ceiling system provides
the designer with a range of creative opportunities.
Our wide variety of products, colours, and finishescan be combined to create dramatic, high-qualityceilings.

The Tavola™ Baffle Ceiling System combines comfort
with performance. Public spaces, airports, trains stations
and shopping malls can all reduce noise pollution andreverberation issues with a dynamically designed Tavola™
ceiling system.

Baffles are engineered to dimensionally define theceiling plane. Consisting of vertically hung, ‘floating’panels, they can create unique visual patterns
without compromising the sense of space.

For increased acoustic performance, a non-woven tissue
can be inserted into the baffle.

Although Baffle ceiling systems are designed tomask the plenum, they also provide easy access forthe efficient installation and maintenance of climate
control, audio, lighting and fire sprinkler systems.

Tavola™ Baffle ceilings from Hunter Douglas are ideal
for visually reducing room height while maintaining
original room volume.
Tavola™ Baffle ceilings excel at diffusing daylightor artificial light entering from above.
At a minimum viewing angle of approximately
45 degrees, the ceiling has a closed appearance.

FIRE BEHAVIOUR

for reaction to fire, and are classified A2,s1,d0 and A2,s2,d0
according to EN 13501-1 and will therefore not contribute to afire. When ceilings need to protect the structural integrity of thebuilding, Hunter Douglas offer a range of practical and tested
solutions for enhanced fire stability.
