Choosing points
- Best for panels, furniture, and desk areas where thickness, softness, and acoustic comfort are useful.
- Felt has a soft edge and little woven direction because it is nonwoven.
- Cut edges can look thick and fuzzy.
- Dust and lint sit on the surface, especially on dark colors.
How it ages
- Wool felt resists flame better than many synthetics, while PET felt is common for recycled acoustic products. Edges and high-touch areas can fuzz or pill.
What to avoid
- Do not use wool felt in wet, exterior, or heavy-rubbing areas unless shrinkage, moth, and fire treatment are addressed.
