Our pictures made with acoustic panels of sound-absorbent wood can help improve the acoustic conditioning of bars and restaurants. Yes, yes, that's right, we are talking about pictures like the one in the photo above, which has improved the acoustic conditioning of a Riojan restaurant. We will tell you the full story in case you know of any bar, restaurant, shop or other establishment with the same problems. A well-known restaurant in Logroño, the capital of La Rioja, a Spanish region famous the world over for its exceptional wines, identified serious acoustic problems in one of its dining rooms. The place had been decorated in a beautiful and very suitable rustic style (stone, brick...), which produced a very high reverberation that spoiled the acoustics and caused intelligibility problems in the conversations that took place in it. We analysed the room's acoustics using specific software and test sheets and confirmed that, as in so many other restaurants, there was a need for improving the acoustic conditioning to make the dining room a more comfortable and enjoyable place for diners. One of the best ways to control reverberation in a room is to install acoustic panels made with sound-absorbent wood, both for wood walls and for wood ceilings, but in this case it was not possible to do so. However it was necessary to improve the acoustic conditioning and, in addition, it had to be done quickly and conveniently. What was the solution? We identified three areas on the walls of the dining room where we could place acoustic panels manufactured with sound-absorbent wood to help control reverberation and improve the acoustic conditioning of the place. Since, in this case, the acoustic panels did not go well with the decoration, we offered to print them with the client's choice images, (six-colour digital printing directly on the acoustic panels) so they would turn into beautiful pictures that would improve the dining room's aspect as well as its acoustics. As could be expected, they chose three images related to the world of Rioja wine and we finally manufactured three pictures measuring 1.20 x 1.20 m made from acoustic panels of sound-absorbent wood that quickly showed their benefit. We had really managed to improve the restaurant's acoustic conditioning. Here you can see the photos of the pictures. Do you like them? .

Acoustic doors / soundproof doors are a key item when trying to control a room's insulation. In what kind of rooms are they commonly used? In addition to wood acoustic panels used in wood walls and the acoustic ceilings found in many buildings in order to improve the acoustic conditioning, there is another element, namely acoustic doors / soundproof doors as elements involved in soundproofing spaces. Some rooms in public buildings and workplaces are particularly sensitive to the consequences of reverberation (unintelligibility in conversations, annoying acoustics, etc.) and that is why acoustic conditioning work is carried out by installing acoustic panels or sound-absorbent wood panels to minimise or remove such consequences. In addition, elements such as acoustic doors / soundproof doors, manage to maintain and improve soundproofing. These are some of the rooms in which one commonly finds acoustic doors / soundproof doors: . 1. Acoustic doors / soundproof doors in Auditoriums: Conference centres, concert and opera halls, theatres, amphitheatres and conference rooms 2. Acoustic doors in Bars and Restaurants: dining rooms and private areas. 3. Acoustic doors / soundproof doors in Hotels: Meeting rooms, resting rooms, suites and vip rooms and common areas 4. Acoustic doors / soundproof doors in Schools and Universities: Classrooms, offices, meeting rooms, assembly halls and auditoriums. 5. Acoustic doors in Museums and Libraries: showrooms, reading rooms, conference rooms, archives and consulting rooms. 6. Acoustic doors / soundproof doors in offices: professional offices, doctor's practices, board rooms and work areas 7. Acoustic doors / soundproof doors in Hospitals, Courtrooms and other public service buildings: Waiting rooms, offices and public areas. 8. Acoustic doors / soundproof doors in Wineries and Corporate Buildings: Visiting rooms, waiting rooms, corporate museums, offices and meeting rooms .

Removable ceilings and accessible ceilings are the most widely used and recommended for offices and meeting rooms. Frequently businesses change facilities, move to others which are more appropriate to their needs of the moment and, with the change, they take advantage to reform and decorate the new workspaces. Wood ceilings have always been used because the wood gives users a sense of warmth that few materials can offer and, after all, if one is going to spend many hours in their job, it is a good idea to make the place as pleasant as possible. But, at the same time, you need these wood ceilings to be as versatile as possible. Removable ceilings and, above all, accessible ceilings allow you to include elements such as air vents, fire sensors or safety, lighting, speakers, etc. in the wood ceilings of the office while at the same time hiding other elements which we you do not want to be seen, such as air vents or electrical wiring or fibre. In addition, accessible ceilings allow you direct access to any point of the wood ceiling for repair and maintenance tasks on any building system (electrical, security, ventilation, data, etc.) At Spigogroup, our Spigotec division manufactures and installs two types of wood ceilings, — removable ceilings and wood ceilings, which in addition use acoustic panels to achieve acoustic conditioning in offices and meeting rooms. The Spigotec website picture gallery shows some of our removable ceilings andaccessible ceilings. .
