A noticeboard made of PET felt
Felt is the new cork. Nowadays, more and more people are choosing a bulletin board made from PET felt, and it's no coincidence. It looks sleek, is sustainable, and has sound-absorbing properties. Read here what PET felt exactly is, what thickness you need, what the benefits are, and we’ll share some inspiration.
What is PET felt?
PET felt is a sturdy and shape-retentive material, made from recycled PET bottles. It has a soft texture, is available in many colours and various thicknesses. Because you can easily insert pins or tacks without damaging the material, it is ideal as a notice board material.
Many people wonder which material is best for a pinboard. Where cork was the standard for years, you now see felt more and more often. PET felt does not crumble, remains looking better longer, offers more design flexibility, and also contributes to the acoustics.
Why choose a bulletin board made of PET felt?
A bulletin board made of FELT offers various benefits:
- Sturdy and pin-resistant
Thanks to the compact structure, thumbtacks or pushpins stay securely in place without damaging the material. - Produced sustainably
Made from recycled PET bottles, it has a long lifespan and is recyclable. - Available in colors and shapes
PET felt can be easily cut to size. This way, you can create a pinboard in any shape or style that matches your interior. - Sound-dampening
An additional benefit: PET felt absorbs sound. Ideal for an office, classroom, or home workspace.
What thickness do you need?
For a well-functioning notice board, we recommend 9 mm thick felt. This is thick enough to hold pins securely without them going through or falling out.
You can attach the felt directly to the wall using mounting glue, double-sided tape, or opt for felt with a self-adhesive backing.
