The Silent Backbone of Connected Living
As smart home device shipments surpass 2.5 billion units globally (Statista 2025), wool felt strips are solving critical challenges in noise reduction and thermal management. Google Nest’s latest thermostat now integrates proprietary felt strip technology to achieve 22% energy savings through enhanced insulation.

Technical Innovations

• Acoustic Optimization:
  • Triple-density strips reduce device fan noise by 15dB(A)
  • Micro-perforated variants absorb 95% of high-frequency EMI interference
• Thermal Regulation:
  • Phase-change infused strips stabilize temperatures within ±0.5°C
  • Graphene-coated strips dissipate heat at 450W/m·K efficiency
