Silence Meets Style
Good acoustics depend on the room’s function and factors like intelligibility, privacy, and concentration. Our acoustic lighting absorbs sound, reduces reverberation, and blends into any interior while keeping the space open. From offices to restaurants, we create environments where conversations are effortless and well-being comes first.
How to control sound
You can’t always control sound at its source. For example in a conversation, a buzzing computer or a door slamming. Therefore it is important to control sound in the complete environment. In a free space (mainly outdoors), sound will always travel in a straight line. But as soon as there are obstacles in a space, sound will bend or reflect. This is something we can actually use to create a more optimal acoustic environment. The two most important aspects of sound we use to do this are absorption and diffusion.
Absorption is the measure of the amount of energy removed from the sound wave as the wave passes through a given thickness of material.
Diffusion is the method of spreading out sound energy. The shape of an object can deform the structure of sound when they come into contact.
Absorption
Absorption is the most common value to tackle for optimal acoustics. How much sound you ‘catch’ is expressed into acoustic value (aw). Soft materials (PET Felt) catch a lot of sound and have a high aw. Hard materials reflect sound and have a low aw
Reverberation
