Contour Baffles
Featurecraft’s acoustic ceiling Contour Baffles are like waves upon the seashore: a riveting arrangement of lines and curves, soothing for both the eye and the spirit. Conceptually derived from the simplistic batten form, our Contour Baffles are the latest development in decorative timber architecture. These expertly crafted modular fin style units clip and slot together to form unique patterns, endowing architects and designers with exemplary creative control over the visual and functional composition of their ceilings through the use of acoustic ceiling fins.
Delivered as a complete system for ease of installation, these modular ceiling baffle systems are any designer or architect’s dream tool for decorative and functional enhancement. Ceiling baffle systems have long been used for acoustic enhancement of interior spaces, and our ceiling Contour Baffles can achieve up to 0.95 NRC. They also achieve a Group 1-S fire rating, qualifying them for use in most interior environments.

The complex shapes of our Contour Baffles are already a decorative masterstroke, but Featurecraft offers many more ways to enhance your ceiling baffle system. You might choose to select from our wood stains to heighten the natural timber beauty of your modular baffles, or opt for timber veneer instead for a sophisticated, long-lasting effect. Then again, HPL laminates are an option for those who want to evoke the wooden effect but need their product to be easily cleanable and highly resistant to wear and tear.
Over the past few decades, we’ve seen New Zealand designers investing their time, energy, and creative talents into some truly stunning architectural projects. We’ve been inspired by your innovations, and we want to give you something new to experiment with. We invite you to take this modular ceiling baffle system and use it to create the next great interior space. The Contour Baffle is entirely for you.

FAQs
Contour Baffles are timber fins that hang from the ceiling to create a sculptural, wave-like effect. In addition to aesthetics, they offer strong acoustic benefits, helping reduce echo and soften sound. This creative module is a favourite with designers seeking an alternative to flat ceilings.
Yes. Contour Baffles are designed to significantly reduce noise and echo by breaking up sound reflections. When paired with acoustic backing panels or overhead insulation, the system can achieve NRC ratings up to 0.95, absorbing most reflected sound. This makes them ideal for lobbies, atriums, offices, hospitality spaces, or any environment where improved clarity and reduced reverberation are important, while still delivering a beautifully textured ceiling feature.
They are. Contour Baffles are built from fire-retardant materials and achieve a Group 1S rating, the highest possible fire classification for interior linings in New Zealand. This makes them suitable for commercial, public, and high-occupancy areas where strict fire performance is required. You can specify Contour Baffles confidently, knowing the ceiling design meets compliance and safety requirements.
Contour Baffles offer extensive design flexibility. You can choose from four standard profiles - Flat, Taper, Curve, and Inverted Curve - to create anything from subtle rhythms to dramatic wave patterns. Modules are typically 1200 mm long, with fin widths of roughly 50, 100, or 150mm and depths from 200 to 500 mm. Designers can mix profiles, adjust spacing, or create custom layouts, giving complete creative control over the final ceiling aesthetic.
Contour Baffles clip into an aluminium rail system mounted to the ceiling. Installers fix lightweight rails with preset clip points, then lift each baffle into place where it locks securely using a male–female connection. With all hardware concealed, the finished ceiling appears seamless and refined.
You can choose natural timber veneers with stains from light blondes to rich walnuts, showcasing the grain while maintaining fire performance. All finishing is done in-house for consistency and quality, ensuring each baffle arrives ready to install with a beautifully refined surface.
