For the typical café in these guides, 156 × 24 × 21 in hexagon baffle, 1 in thick comes to about $12,332 before shipping and tax (including a 15% volume discount).
What drives the price
- Size and thickness: more core and fabric per panel.
- Shape: curves and angles take longer to cut and wrap than rectangles.
- Fabric: premium fabrics such as wool felt, Guilford of Maine and Xorel cost more and some take longer to wrap.
- Surface patterns: routed grooves and facets add machine and finishing time.
- Mounting: ceiling and baffle kits add hardware.
Ways to save
- Use fewer, larger panels. Labour per panel is partly fixed, so two 24 × 48 panels cost less than four 24 × 24 panels.
- Mix: premium fabric on feature panels, standard fabric where nobody looks.
- Order everything at once to reach a volume tier.
