SAS 500

SAS 500 is an acoustic baffle ceiling system, sold by Progressive Materials. It is designed to improve sound control and add a modern aesthetic to spaces with exposed soffits. The baffles can be installed in various patterns and colours to suit different project designs.

You will often find SAS 500 in education, commercial, and transport settings. It is especially useful in large, open areas where reverberation needs to be managed but a suspended ceiling is not required.

Standard baffle lengths include 1200 mm, 1500 mm, and 1800 mm. Baffle depths range from 100 mm to 500 mm, and the standard width is 50 mm. Progressive Materials can also supply bespoke sizes and shapes on request.

The system is suspended from a primary grid using threaded rods or cable hangers. Linear baffles for long, continuous runs are supplied loose for on-site assembly. Individual baffles arrive ready to install.

You can select from a full range of standard SAS finishes. If your project requires something different, bespoke finishes are available.
