We have all experienced it: you go to a new restaurant in town with friends hoping to share a pleasant dinner with enjoyable conversation, jokes and anecdotes and instead you find yourself in a noisy environment with deficient acoustic conditioning struggling to understand what the person sitting across the table is saying. The use of some type of wood panelling and wood ceilings, in the decoration of bars, restaurants and other establishments is not only an answer to an aesthetic need. These places are flooded with a wide range of simultaneous noises and sounds: conversations of patrons and employees, the buzzing sound of refrigerators, ambient music, televisions, phones, slot machines, and many more. That is why it is so important to use wood panels and wood ceilings made with sound-absorbent wood In addition, as specialists in the acoustic conditioning of premises, Spigogroup has developed a very useful new product for quick, easy acoustic conditioning of bars and restaurants that are already in operation. It is the new hanging print acoustic panels, which we already mentioned in our last post on acoustic conditioning with sound-absorbent wood panels that hang like paintings. It is a simple, flexible, effective solution to the need of premises with acoustic conditioning while concealing or integrating (as the case may be) the new wood panelling as part of the décor to be finished with a photograph, an illustration or a painting. .

Spigogroup is a technical carpentry specialising in acoustic panels, technical doors, furniture made with phenolic panel, and made-to-measure furniture. Its Spigotec, Spigoacustic and Spigoline divisions have turned it into a leader in the manufacture and supply of wood ceilings and wood panelling in general. Over the past 20 years, Spigogroup has been involved in more than one hundred key architectural projects, mostly in Spain, but also in other countries such as France, Norway, the United Kingdom, Togo, Morocco, and the United States. We have fitted airports, offices and business venues, theatres, universities, wineries and other public buildings with wood ceilings, acoustic ceilings and different wood panelling models. Sometimes the acoustic conditioning of the premises was sought, while at other times, it was simply a question of achieving a different, superior quality look. In most cases, it was a way of achieving both goals. Following is a selection of 12 of the most representative works carried out in Spain by Spigogroup: . 1. Wood ceilings for the Lucena Renewable Energy Centre 2. Wood ceilings for Bodegas Dinastía Vivanco 3. Wood ceilings for Pamplona airport 4. Wood ceilings for Valladolid Auditorium 5. Wood ceilings for Visesa Building 6. Wood ceilings for Ansoain Health Centre 7. Wood ceilings for Hotel Jardines de Uleta in Vitoria 8. Wood ceilings for Würth Museum, Spain 9. Wood ceilings for Puerto Venecia shopping centre in Saragossa 10. Wood ceilings for Hotel NH Santander 11. Wood ceilings for Berriozar Town Hall 12. Wood ceilings for Neiker Building in Arkaute .

Phenolic panel is the most common material used in the manufacture of made-to-measure furniture for humid areas, because it has a special feature that provides furniture with outstanding resistance to these environments In addition, Phenolic boards have another important feature. They are impact resistant and scratch proof, so they are extensively used in public buildings where there is a need for materials that are particularly resistant to daily use and large numbers of people. This versatility of phenolic panel, its adaptability to any space and size, and the wide range of available finishes make phenolic boards the stars of major made-to-measure furniture catalogues, particularly for damp environments such as toilets, bathrooms, changing rooms, etc. This applies to products such as the phenolic toilet cubicles or cabins manufactured with phenolic boardsand countertops made with phenolic panel, that we can find in toilets in theatres, shopping malls, museums, hospitals, airports, and many public buildings. The same happens with other special furniture such as lockers and benches also manufactured with a metal structure and phenolic panel, which makes them a solid, rugged product, used in sports halls, schools, universities, swimming pools, gyms and all sorts of sports buildings. Custom manufacturing possibilities and a wide variety of finishes makes phenolic boards one of the materials of choice for the manufacture and installation of screens in offices and workplaces. Going beyond the world ofmade-to-measure furniture, the toughness of phenolic panel also makes it suitable for manufacturing technical doors and cladding for façades. Phenolic boards and made-to-measure furniture manufactured with phenolic panel offer a world of possibilities for the design and implementation of architectural and interior design projects, as well as in public buildings and community services. .

In addition to being an excellent ornamental alternative in any decoration and interior design project, wood ceilings also offer the possibility of enhancing the acoustics of the room. For the acoustic conditioning of enclosed spaces, sound-absorbent wood panels, —either drilled or slotted or a combination of both— are used to help control reverberation time there by improving the room's acoustics. This type of wood panels and wood ceilings are usually installed in public buildings, such as conference centres, concert and lecture halls, offices and meeting rooms, classrooms, universities, hotels and shopping centres, airports, cultural centres, cinemas, etc. where, in addition to requiring acoustic conditioning, an aesthetic value commensurate with the importance of the project is also sought. And that is the reason why each building has different needs from the point of view of its acoustic conditioning, and why each project requires different finishes. The Spigogroup, acoustics division manufactures and supplies wood panelling and wood ceilings, under its Spigotec, Spigoacustic and Spigoline brands, offering a wide range of decorative possibilities and modelsof sound-absorbing wood panels for installing wood ceilings and wood panelling. There are models with circular, square or slotted holes, in varying percentages (from 1.2% in the LEO 64 model, up to 25% in the libra 43 model), as well as smooth models. Sound-absorbent wood panels also offer different finishes such as melamine, natural varnished veneer, lacquered, compact, etc. There are numerous options in manufacturing and supplying wood ceilings withsound-absorbent wood panels, allowing us to adapt to the needs of each project. .
