Wood panelling for walls, false ceiling or wood ceilings, wood doors... wood is increasingly used in the decoration of homes, public buildings and workplaces. It is the material of choice because it is a hard, flexible material and offers a wide range of colours, textures and qualities. Because sound-absorbent wood helps in soundproofing and acoustic conditioning of rooms. Because it is elegant, and because it is fashionable. And also because it is reusable, recyclable and, when it comes from managed forests, it is also sustainable. But surely the prime reason is its beauty and its primitive feel which brings us back to our origins: nature. We want to see wood around our but where can we use it to enjoy its presence in our buildings? The answer is simple: everywhere! . - Wood ceilings: in design ceilings, in a false ceiling, or in acoustic ceilings (manufactured with acoustic panels made of sound-absorbent wood). - Wood walls: in inner linings made of wood, with wood panels, or on walls made of wood slats or any other type of wood panelling. - Wood doors and windows, including isophonic technical doors used in buildings where we intend to achieve optimal soundproofing. - Floors: in parquets, solid wood flooring, or floors with some kind of wood panelling. - Furniture and other elements: from fitted wardrobes to made-to-measure furniture made from wood, as well as benches, stairs, shelves, etc. . Whether you are an individual or a company, ask and let yourself be advised by your project's architect, builder or decorator. They will help you achieve a warm and welcoming atmosphere using wood while respecting your tastes and aesthetic preferences. .

Installing wood ceilings and using wood walls as well as some sort of special sound-absorbent wood panelling are key elements when carrying out the acoustic conditioning of a room where you want to control reverberation. In some rooms, different factors such as size and shape, the arrangement of the furniture, or the use of certain building materials may produce an acoustic effect known as reverberation. Reverberation is the permanence of sound beyond the time required to properly hear and understand a message. Explained in a more technical manner, "reverberation time " is the time it takes for the sound to decay by 60 dB as received stood the sound emission source stops. In short, it is an annoying acoustic effect, even more so in rooms intended for listening to music or speeches: theatres, meeting rooms, auditoriums, halls, recording studios, offices, etc. And how to control reverberation in a room? First measure the degree of reverberation that can be supported needs to be measured. This will determine the type of acoustic material, acoustic panels or sound-absorbent wood panels that should be used in the acoustic conditioning of the room. Then, the acoustic ceilings or sound-absorbent wood ceilings, wood walls, false ceiling, or inner linings are installed with the most appropriate wood panelling. Finally, the last measurements are performed to determine whether we have achieved our objectives and we have managed to control the reverberation of the room in question. If you would like to know more about acoustic panels used to control reverberation in rooms, be sure to visit the Spigoacustic and Spigotec websites. .

Historically, wood has always been the choice material for manufacturing doors. It is a material that proves relatively easy to find in and extract from nature. That is why human settlements were located along rivers and water sources that facilitated the growth of trees and forests, which provided wood and, at the same time, protection and food, particularly game and wild fruit. In addition, for the first door manufacturers who made wood doors, production was a relatively simple task, as wood is a lightweight material that is easily transported, as well as very easy to shape and work on. In a building, we can distinguish between exterior doors, more closely associated to architecture, andinterior doors which are part of the particular decorative project of the building or each individual home, office or room. Following are three good reasons or advantages that make wood doors the recommended choice in any project —both for exterior doors and for interior doors. . - Aesthetics: The use of wood doors helps to create warm, cosy spaces. When we speak of wood interiors, the combined use of wood doors with some sort of wood panelling and wood ceilings offers excellent aesthetic results that convey a feeling of comfort and good taste. Actually, few elements can make such a profound change to the aesthetic appearance of a room as wood doors. - Ecology: Wood is an organic, renewable, reusable and recyclable material. In addition, by includingwood doors in a project, it is possible to rely on door manufacturers who have PEFC certified products which guarantees that the wood used comes from sustainably managed forests. - Wide choice: There are wood doors for all tastes, in all the styles, designs and finishes that you may wish for. In addition, you can choose isophonic technical doors (to help with in soundproofing a the room) and fire-resistant technical doors. .
