How to Reduce PET Felt Acoustic Panel Waste Without Changing Your Design

Many clients think:

“To reduce cost, I must simplify design.”

Actually, not always.

In many PET felt acoustic panel projects, cost increase is caused by layout inefficiency, not design complexity.

Small adjustment can improve material utilization.

In some projects, performance expectation is also affected by installation method.

Step 1: Align Panel Width with Sheet Size

Most PET felt sheets are 1200 mm or 1220 mm wide.

If your panel width is 1180 mm, waste may increase.

If adjusted to 1200 mm, utilization improves immediately.

Visual design stays same.

Material usage changes.

Ask your supplier to show cutting layout preview.

If panels are arranged randomly on sheet, waste may exceed 15–20%.

Optimized nesting can reduce this.

When each panel is unique size, waste increases.

If design allows some repetition, production becomes more efficient.

Many buyers only check unit price.

But real cost depends on waste percentage.

Always ask:“What is estimated material utilization rate?”

This question alone can prevent surprise later.

If you want to reduce PET felt panel waste without changing design concept, we can review your module layout and sheet alignment.
