FLEXIBLE ACOUSTIC PANELS

rPET Flex Groove: flexible PET acoustic panels for curves

V-cut acoustic panels for curves, cut from the 9 mm rPET Panel.

rPET Flex Groove is cut from the 9 mm rPET Panel: rigid felt from recycled PET bottles, V-cut so it bends around columns, curved walls and other rounded elements. The V-cuts leave the ribbed surface that gives the panel its character.

Re-Sound is a Stretch Group brand. We manufacture in our own plants in Beveren-Waas (Belgium) and Częstochowa (Poland).

Designed for Curved Surfaces

Flex Groove panels follow curved surfaces, inner and outer radii alike: columns, curved walls and rounded architectural elements. The material is the rPET Panel, so colours, processing and reaction to fire are those of the panel.

  • ✓Adapts to any curved surface
  • ✓Works with inner and outer radii
  • ✓Ribbed texture adds depth and rhythm
  • ✓Sound-dampening properties built-in

V-Cut Flexibility System

V-cuts let you fold corners and 3D forms: the panel is incised with parallel V-cuts that let it bend without breaking and leave a ribbed relief on the surface.

01

9 mm rPET Panel

100 % recycled PET felt, 1.8 kg/m², cut from a 2 800 × 1 220 or 2 440 × 1 220 mm panel.

02

V-cuts

Parallel V-cuts let the panel bend; minimum bending radius 500 mm.

03

Ribbed surface

The cuts leave a linear relief, lengthwise or widthwise, in ten stock colours or any colour to order.

Ten colours from stock, any colour to order

The colour range is that of the rPET Panel: ten stock colours, numbered 01–10, and any other colour made to order.

Made to order

Stock colours 01–10 are always available, from one panel. Any other colour is made to order: send us a RAL or NCS reference or a physical sample. Minimum quantities for made-to-order colours on request.

Colour and batch

Made from recycled fibres, so slight shade differences between batches are normal. Order the panels for one surface together and mount them the same way round. The swatches are photographs: ask for physical samples before you specify.

Groove Direction

Grooves run along the length of the panel

Sound absorption

PET felt is a porous absorber: sound enters the open fibre structure and is turned into heat. How much a panel absorbs depends on its thickness and, above all, on how it is mounted. Fixed straight to the wall it treats mainly mid and high frequencies; with an air cavity or mineral wool behind it, absorption rises sharply and reaches lower frequencies.

Flex Groove keeps the felt’s sound-dampening character on curved surfaces. The 9 mm panel has not yet been measured, so we give no αw or NRC figure.

Sound Dampening

Reduces echo and reverberation

9 mm: not yet measured

The 9 mm rPET Panel has not yet been measured, so no absorption figure is given for rPET Flex Groove. The 12 mm material table on the rPET Panel page shows how PET felt behaves per mounting.

Reaction to fire

Reaction to fire to EN 13501-1 depends on the colour: white, grey and black reach B-s1,d0, all other colours B-s2,d0, in both the Standard and the FR version.

Classification reports on request.

Secure Mounting, Simple Installation

The panels are glued to the prepared curved substrate. Finished panel sizes are on request.

1

Prepare Surface

Ensure the curved surface is clean and ready for mounting

2

Apply Adhesive

Use recommended adhesive on the panel back

3

Position & Bend

Gently bend the panel to follow the curved surface

4

Secure & Finish

Press firmly to ensure full adhesion along the curve

Frequently asked questions

Is the recycled PET certified?

Yes. The rPET panels carry an OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certificate, available on request. The panel is 100 % recycled PET felt: one material, recyclable at end of life.

What is the fire rating?

Under EN 13501-1 the class depends on the colour: rPET Flex Groove is classified B-s1,d0 / B-s2,d0, like the 9 mm rPET Panel it is cut from. Classification reports on request.

Can rPET panels be cut, drilled, or painted?

Yes. rPET Flex Groove is cut from the 9 mm rPET Panel and takes the same tools: saw or angle grinder with a metal-cutting blade, CNC milling, drilling and screws without splitting, water- or solvent-based paints.

How many colors are available?

Ten stock colours (01–10) are always available, from one panel. Any other colour is made to order from a RAL or NCS reference or a physical sample; minimum quantities on request. The range is the same for rPET Panel, rPET Groove and rPET Flex Groove.

What is the standard lead time?

About 3–4 working weeks, as for the rPET Panel. Minimum order, finished sizes and delivery are on request.
