Wood ceilings, or ceilings with wood panelling for public and community service buildings

By Acoustics, Architecture, Construction, Decoration, News, Spigogroup wood projects No Comments
Wood ceilings are one of the most commonly-found elements in public building and community building projects. Its versatility is extensive and highly valued by both architects and builders. Like those of other materials, wood ceilings can, be made up of quadrangular panels to form false ceiling to help conceal wiring and non-visible parts of other electrical devices (lights, terminals, etc.) and security devices (detectors, alarms, etc.). At the same time, wood ceilings offer the warmth and the added aesthetic value that only wood panelling and wood panels can provide. In addition, wood ceilings, or ceilings with wood panelling, fulfil a key role when it comes to designing and implementing acoustic conditioning in rooms and spaces, thanks to the ability to reduce reverberation time offered by sound-absorbent wood panels used to build some wood ceilings. Following is a list, by groups, of some of the community and public buildings where Spigogroup installed wood ceilings, or some kind of wood panelling last year: . - Wood ceilings in health, services and security buildings: - Os Firestation (Norway) - SOS Central at Deiak - Hospital of Miranda de Ebro - Regina Coeli Nursing Home in Salamanca . - Wood ceilings in schools, universities and other educational institutions: - Stowe School (United Kingdom) - University of Bergen (Norway) - Beuchamps High School (United Kingdom) - Stone School (United Kingdom) - Ceuta University - Valencia Official School Languages - CEIP Fuentecillas - Faculty of Nursing, University of La Rioja . - Wood ceilings in sports complexes: - San Sebastian Adapted Sport Centre - Bilbao Sports Club . - Wood ceilings in wineries: - Dinastía Vivanco Winery and Wine Museum - Bodegs Coto - Bodegas Darien - Bodegas Ramón Bilbao - Bodegas Carlos Serres - Bodegas Portia - Grupo Faustino . - Wood ceilings in hotels, museums and emblematic buildings: - El Carpio Museum - Maimón Castle - Getxo Court Building - Portobello Hotel - Bendaña Palace . - Wood ceilings in offices and corporate buildings: - Eninter Building in Cornellá - Banco Popular in Pontevedra - Credit Balear - Club de Mar, Palma de Mallorca - Torre Noguera - Mapfre Madrid - Puerto Venecia shopping centre in Saragossa .

Equipment for sports buildings made with phenolic panel

By Acoustics, Construction, News No Comments
The furniture installed in public areas in sports buildings such as pools, gyms, spas and resorts, ball courts and sport pavilions, are used every day for many hours by many people, and also under very special conditions of humidity. These circumstances are the "natural habitat" of phenolic boards and pieces of furniture manufactured with phenolic panel —where stability, hardness, resistance to daily use and scratches, and special protection against moisture are most needed. In fact, sometimes the project even requires the special fire-resistant properties of phenolic boards. Another advantage of working with phenolic panel is its ability to adapt to any available space. That is why it is a key element in the manufacture of made-to-measure furniture for this type of buildings. So, let's review the "photograph" of a sports building, as we enter it to make use of its facilities. The first thing we do when we enter it is go to the changing room. We cross a special door made with phenolic panel and, once inside, we discover that there are phenolic boards and made-to-measure furniture made with phenolic panel all over the room. To change, we will sit on a bench made with phenolic panel, and we will put our street clothes and other objects in a locker also made of phenolic panel. When we finish, we return to the changing room. We will have a shower in a special cabin made of phenolic panel, and then comb our hair in front of a basing inserted in a counter that is also made of phenolic panel. Here you can see some of the projects carried out with phenolic panel by Carpintería Paco, a division of Spigogroup which takes care of facilities and made-to-measure furniture, made with phenolic panel. .

Isophonic technical doors and fire-resistant technical doors. What are they? What are they for?

By Acoustics, Construction, News No Comments
We use the term technical doors, to differentiate them from normal wood doors used in housing, or the wood doors or phenolic panel doors used in institutional buildings, offices or public buildings. Generally, technical doors have to meet certain legal requirements. In addition, there are the preferences of architects and developers, who often require a number of features to make them especially safe and resistant. These are characteristics that may coincide or not in different models of technical doors but that, in any case, are usually requested for different types of projects. There are isophonic technical doors, used in buildings where optimum soundproofing is sought in order to prevent sound from travelling from one room to another, as is the case, for example, of schools, offices, residences, theatres, concert halls, hotels, auditoriums, conference centres, and boardrooms. The catalogues of technical doors to be used for soundproofing offer different ranges of decibels depending on the particular requirements when soundproofing a room. We also have fire-resistant technical doors. They are also made of wood but especially fire-resistant (FR) that allow us to minimise the risks of fire and its propagation, and to reduce the impact of accidents. These technical doors provide the necessary fire safety measures for projects while providing the aesthetic benefits of wood doors. Finally, the technical doors category for homes could also include security and armour-plated doors, which provide added security in accesses buildings and rooms. .
