ACOUSTICS IN THE OPEN SPACE OFFICE
It is impossible to imagine modern office concepts without it: the open-plan office. The world of work has changed and with it the demand for the good old open office.
The core of the modern office landscape is often a large multi-space office area where different types of daily work can be combined. The great advantage of such open space offices is the short distances, the possibility of open communication and the depiction of a flat hierarchy through open architectural means.
Work calmly and productively
Nothing is more disruptive in the office than acoustic unrest, as this has a significant impact on health, concentration and performance.
That's why soundproofing in the office is so important. Sound absorbers and soundproof walls can reduce noise in the office and thus optimize sound insulation in the office.
What is noise and what effect does it have on us?
Noise is defined as unwanted sound:
- in the office, noise pollution is considered a major disruptive and stress factor
- impairs health and has a negative impact on subjective well-being
- reduces concentration and performance
- interferes with communication
Planning room acoustics is therefore essential for offices, private rooms and public buildings. A suitable room acoustic design
- reduces the noise level
- increases speech intelligibility
- improves the subjective impression of the room
Our solutions for sound insulation in the office
With our sound curtains, we offer planners of New Work offices the opportunity to create flexible areas within the open space office concept. This allows acoustic separation to be created in the multi-space office without diminishing the lightness of the open architecture.
By temporarily separating meeting zones, think tanks or quiet areas, for example, the openness of the multi-space area can be maintained while still creating acoustically separate work zones for a concentrated working atmosphere.
The OFFICE sound curtain
for example, achieves sound insulation of up to 26 decibels. Soundproof curtains also help to improve the air quality in the room and offer an attractive aesthetic solution at the same time.
Room acoustic office planning for the New Work Office
Good planning makes work quieter. That's why you should take a closer look at the open-plan office space before furnishing it. Current acoustic office planning often uses ISO 22955 (Acoustic Quality in Open Plan Offices) for the planning process of open-plan offices.
This divides an open-plan office into different application types, which can then be acoustically separated from one another using room-in-room solutions, variable zoning, mobile partitions and well thought-out room layouts.
ABSORBER LIGHT
Translucent sound insulation for the office
For a long time it was a contradiction in terms, but now it can be combined: sunlight in the office and perfect acoustics. ABSORBER LIGHT is a translucent acoustic curtain that absorbs sound through micro-slits in the fabric. This absorber is the best choice when offices need to be bright and quiet.
OFFICE WINDOW SOUND CURTAIN
The floor-to-ceiling insert of the OFFICE WINDOW sound curtain allows a clear view outside and lets natural daylight into the room.
The window is not only functional as a visual reference to the outside, but also a modern design element.
