Cloud9 60cm Ceiling Mounted Acoustic Panel

• Ceiling treatment with designer circular format. The Cloud9 60cm ceiling panel provides acoustic absorption at the ceiling plane with a circular profile that contrasts with the rectilinear geometry of the ceiling surface. The circular format is suited to hospitality, office, and educational environments where a designed ceiling installation is preferred over a standard rectangular panel grid.
• Mixed-size Cloud9 ceiling cluster arrangements. The 60cm panel is designed to be combined with the 80cm and 100cm Cloud9 ceiling formats in composed cluster arrangements across the ceiling surface. The smaller diameter fills the spaces between larger panels in organic, asymmetric compositions, creating a varied and visually dynamic ceiling installation.
• Accent placements in smaller ceiling areas. The compact 600mm diameter makes the 60cm Cloud9 suited to smaller ceiling sections, alcoves, and areas between ceiling fixtures, light fittings, and sprinkler heads where a larger circular format would not fit.
• Open-plan offices — reverberation and echo control. Install on the ceiling to reduce reverberation time and improve speech intelligibility. The circular format adds visual interest to the acoustic installation, integrating naturally into contemporary office interiors.
• Hospitality and commercial interiors. The Cloud9's circular format and soft profile make it suited to hospitality environments — restaurants, bars, and hotel lobbies — where acoustic ceiling treatment is required alongside a designed interior finish.

• NRC 0.75 — effective mid and high frequency absorption. The 25mm foam core achieves NRC 0.75 (Sound Absorption Class C), with strong absorption from 500Hz upward: 0.65 at 500Hz, 0.94 at 1000Hz, 1.13 at 2000Hz, and 0.99 at 4000Hz. Effective for controlling speech-frequency reverberation from the ceiling plane. Low-frequency absorption is more limited (0.30 at 250Hz).
• Class '0' fire-rated construction — compliant for commercial use. The acoustic foam core is Class '0' rated to BS 476 Parts 6 and 7, and C s1, d0 to EN 13501-1, meeting commercial fire safety requirements for ceiling-mounted acoustic treatment in offices, schools, and public buildings.
• 100% recycled open-weave polyester cloth — 31 colour options. The open-weave polyester cloth is produced from 100% recycled fibre, maintaining full acoustic transparency while providing a durable surface finish. Available in 31 colours — download the swatch card for the full range.
• Mirror plate ceiling fixing — supplied with hardware. Supplied with mirror plate fixing hardware for direct ceiling attachment. Mirror plate fixing provides a flush, secure ceiling mount suitable for permanent installations on solid ceiling structure or appropriate noggins.
• 60cm diameter — most compact Cloud9 ceiling format. At 600mm diameter and 0.28m² per panel, the 60cm is the smallest and most versatile format in the Cloud9 ceiling range, suited to accent placements and as a fill panel in mixed-size cluster arrangements with the 80cm and 100cm ceiling formats.
• Handmade in the UK — consistent quality across every panel. All Designer Range panels are handmade in the Advanced Acoustics UK facility using consistent materials and construction methods, ensuring uniform acoustic performance and finish quality across every panel in an installation.

Mark the fixing position on the ceiling using the panel diameter as a guide. Ensure fixing positions are located on solid ceiling structure or appropriate noggins — do not fix into plasterboard alone without appropriate cavity fixings. Check for concealed services (electrical cables, pipework) before drilling into the ceiling.

For mirror plate fixing: screw the mirror plate to the ceiling at the marked position using appropriate fixings for the ceiling construction, and attach the panel to the mirror plate. Check that the panel sits flush and level before finalising the fixing position.

For cluster arrangements combining multiple Cloud9 ceiling sizes, plan the composition on paper or digitally before marking fixing positions on the ceiling. Use a tape measure to set out the centre points of each panel accurately before drilling.

Can ceiling mounted panels be fixed to a suspended ceiling grid?

Ceiling mounted panels are designed for direct attachment to a solid or plasterboard ceiling surface. They are not designed to drop into a suspended ceiling grid. For suspended ceiling installations, the ceiling suspended format — which hangs from steel wire rope fixed above the ceiling grid — is the appropriate choice, as it does not require structural fixings into the ceiling tiles themselves.

Are there complementary products to use alongside these panels?

For rooms where both echo control and visual impact are goals, the SoundControl rectangular panels and the Designer range (Cloud9, HexaPanel, Barracuda, and others) can be combined — rectangular panels for broad coverage, designer panels as focal points or accent pieces. All products are available in the same 31 fabric colours, allowing a coordinated scheme across both ranges. If the room also has a noise transmission problem — sound travelling through walls, floors, or ceiling to adjacent spaces — acoustic panels treat the reverberation within the room but do not address sound passage through the structure; that requires a separate soundproofing approach.

Can I see the fabric colours before I order?

A PDF swatch card showing all available fabric colours is available to download here. If you would like a physical fabric sample before committing to a colour, contact us and we will send one out. Given the 2–3 week lead time on all made-to-order panels, confirming the colour against your interior before ordering is worthwhile.

Will acoustic panels actually make a noticeable difference to our office?

In a hard-surfaced office with plasterboard walls, a solid ceiling, and a concrete or hard floor — the standard construction of most commercial fit-outs — reverberation times are typically well above the recommended level for speech intelligibility. Acoustic panels absorb the reflected energy that accumulates in those surfaces, reducing reverberation time and improving clarity. The result is a room where conversations are clearer, background noise feels less intrusive, and sustained concentration is easier. The improvement in a standard office environment is significant and immediately noticeable.

I need panels for a specific project date — can you accommodate a deadline?

Contact us before ordering with your required delivery date and we will confirm whether it is achievable. Lead times are typically 2–3 weeks, but where a project deadline is tight we will do our best to accommodate it.  Get in touch and we'll help in any way we can.
