2013 is coming to an end, leaving behind all the work that we have carried out in our blog to publicize our know-how as technical carpentry specialising in acoustic panels and all types of wood panelling. We have written about acoustic conditioning, soundproofing, acoustic material, acoustic ceilings, reverberation times, acoustic panels..., in our blog, and also through our profiles on Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Google+ and Pinterest. After twelve months of publications we would like to offer you this selection of our 20 most read and commented posts on the acoustic conditioning of rooms: . - The importance of acoustic conditioning in an office environment using sound-absorbent wood - What is soundproofing?

Here is Christmas again, emerging shy and honest between lights and advertising messages, and waking up the excitement of small children that as adults we keep concealed during the rest of the year. During the past 12 months, our day-to-day business as technical carpentry specialising in wood ceilings, acoustic panels and inner linings, has moved among the rooms in whose acoustic conditioning we have participated, and the acoustic panels that we have manufactured and sent to wood projects in different parts of the world. This year we have also outfitted schools, companies, offices and public and institutional buildings with wood doors and technical doors, as well as of made-to-measure furniture manufactured with phenolic panel or phenolic boards. We have worked hard. With desire and enthusiasm. Transferring the warmth of our wood to each project. Knowing that we were making our small contribution to the work of architects, interior designers, decorators and engineers that make our homes and work places more comfortable and human. This warmth, the warmth of our wood, of this Christmas season, is what we want to transmit to all our customers and friends, suppliers and partners, to the readers of this blog and to the thousands that follow us on social networks (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google + and Pinterest). With all the affection of the Spigogroup team. . ¡¡¡ MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!

Acoustic conditioning in rooms requires a control over reverberation time in its interior. What we mean by "reverberation time" is the time it takes for the sound to fall by 60 dB after the sound source stops. This means that to determine the acoustic conditioning required in a room you need to know the real reverberation time and also what should be the optimum reverberation time which you aim to achieve after proper acoustic conditioning. The ORT (Optimum Reverberation Time) Online Simulator is a good tool for those who wish to work on the acoustic conditioning of a room as it lets you know these two facts as a guideline. To do this you have to enter the following variables: . - The measurements of the room in which you will carry out the acoustic conditioning. - The material to be used in ceilings, walls and/or inner linings; from brick, concrete, cement, marble or plaster, to the different models of acoustic panels that you can use for the acoustic conditioning of a room. - Used in floors; a choice of concrete, cement, marble, carpeting or parquet. - You can include up to 3 types of furniture and quantities, as additional information that can influence the results and in the acoustic conditioning of room, you can choose between smooth wood door, chair, table, person standing or person sitting in upholstered seat. These are the most common special specifications depending on the type of room where the acoustic conditioning is to be carried out (classrooms, auditoriums, etc.) - Finally you need to determine the type of room where the acoustic conditioning is to be carried out so you can choose among 17 possibilities (theatres, cinemas, classrooms, churches, telephone booths,...) . If you plan to undertake acoustic conditioning in a room, try our ORT (optimum reverberation time) Online Simulator HERE. .

Wood walls and wood ceilings also play a leading role in one of the planet's great cities: Shanghai. With a population of more than 20 million, the big Chinese city enjoys a golden moment after the celebration of the 2010 Expo and the incredible urban growth of recent years, with more than 4,000 skyscrapers built since 1990 —an average of 200 a year! After our virtual tours of London, Paris and Mexico City, we now discover Shanghai, a city that combines tradition and modernity, where wood walls, wood ceilings, and inner linings made of materials such as bamboo find their place among the glass skyscrapers. These are some of our findings in our virtual tour of Shanghai: . 1. Inner linings made of wood at the Camper showroom in Shanghai, created by Neri&Hu, the stars of modern Chinese design. 2. The beautiful use of bamboo in the wood walls, wood ceilings and inner linings of the Shanghai Floating Tea House. 3. The wood ceilings and wood walls of the Sheraton Huzhou Hot Spring Resort 4. The oak wood walls of the spectacular Johnnie Walker House in Shanghai's French Quarter 5. The inner linings made of bamboo in the administration building of the North Shanghai Gas Company 6. Wood projects like the VUE BAR on the top floor of the Hyatt Hotel on the Bund on the banks of the River Huang Pu 7. The wood ceilings and bars and wood walls of the Mercato restaurant. 8. Some models of the Shanghai Urban Planning Centre: small wood projects for large architectural projects 9. The wood doors and wood ceilings of the original 19-room boutique hotel, the Waterhouse. 10. The original wood ceilings of the Shanghai Film Museum .
