Creating a commercial environment that feels warm, energetic, and welcoming requires thoughtful interior design—especially in healthcare and orthodontic spaces where patient comfort is essential.
When 103 Orthodontics prepared to expand with their second Staten Island, NY location, they wanted their interior architecture to match the upbeat energy and precision they bring to patient care every day. To translate that vision into functional art, their team partnered with Laser Cutting Shapes and our dedicated LaserFelt material line to fabricate a suite of custom decorative felt elements.
“For 25 years, 103 Orthodontics has been proud to provide Staten Island families with high-quality orthodontic care, combining advanced technology with a fun, friendly, and welcoming environment. With the recent opening of our second Staten Island location, we designed a modern space that reflects the same energy and attention to detail we bring to every patient’s smile. Laser Felt helped bring our vision to life with custom decorative elements that make our new office feel uniquely 103 Orthodontics.”

High-traffic clinical offices face a common architectural challenge: hard surfaces like tile, glass, and drywall reflect sound, creating echoes that make spaces feel cold or noisy. Architectural polyester felt solves this by providing sound absorption alongside visual depth.
For the 103 Orthodontics expansion, our fabrication facility delivered multi-faceted decorative solutions across several focal areas:
Custom Hanging Felt Panels: Precision laser-cut hanging partitions offer visual privacy between clinical bays and waiting spaces while maintaining an open, airy floor plan. The thermal cutting process ensures clean, fused edges that resist fraying even in high-movement areas.
Acoustic Felt Wall Coverings: Soft, high-performance felt wall elements absorb ambient chatter and equipment sound, improving privacy and creating a calm, comfortable atmosphere for patients of all ages.
Rigid Wall Décor Panels: Using high-density structural felt (EcoRigid), we cut custom geometric decor panels that mount flat against accent walls. These panels introduce dimensional shadows, rich color contrasts, and tactile warmth without requiring heavy structural framing.
Acoustic Comfort: Polyester felt helps lower reverberation time, making open waiting rooms and operatories significantly quieter.
Thermal-Sealed Precision: Intricate interior cutouts, geometric screens, and logo cutouts emerge from the laser bed with zero fraying and exact pattern repeatability.
Sustainable Durability: LaserFelt materials are crafted from recycled polyester fibers, providing commercial durability that is easy to maintain, lightweight to install, and environmentally conscious.
Whether you are launching a new healthcare facility, refreshing a corporate lobby, or creating statement wall art, our custom laser cutting services bring your design files into physical reality.
