Inner linings to improve acoustic conditioning of business premises and franchises

By Acoustics, Construction, Decoration, News No Comments
The use of sound-absorbent wood inner linings for the acoustic conditioning of business premises and franchises is becoming increasingly frequent. Everyone knows business premises, whether of independent retailers or major franchises (fashion shops, restaurant chains, footwear, jewellery...), with major business decoration projects where wood is the featured component to provide a background for the products being sold. They are major wood projects which, although we may not be aware of it, fulfil a double function. The beauty of good wood inner linings, wood walls and wood ceilings and the feeling of comfort and warmth they offer customers arriving from the outside is unmatched. What does the Irishman feel when he takes refuge from the Island's harsh winter weather by entering a welcoming pub, with its wood panelling on walls and ceilings? What is the perception of Qatar executives when they visit their favourite fashion brand shop and find a distinguished combination of wood inner linings in light wood, glass and other carefully selected high quality materials? But the best thing about sound-absorbent wood inner linings is that they help to control the possible reverberation that sometimes occurs in business and catering premises. Thus, wood walls and wood ceilingsmade with the most elegant wood panels become the perfect allies for the acoustic conditioning of bars, grastrobars and restaurants, leisure and entertainment premises, fashion, footwear and jewellery shops, hotels and tourist venues, etc., serving as walls and design ceilings and, at the same time, as walls and acoustic ceilings. .

How to choose wood acoustic panels for your project

By Acoustics, Architecture, Construction, Decoration, News No Comments
You are the stage in your project where you have to look at acoustic conditioning and it is time to choose acoustic panels made of sound-absorbent wood. How do you do it? When it comes to carrying out the acoustic conditioning of premises, the first task to be undertaken is to identify the acoustic problem that needs to be solved. When the problem is reverberation, you can use the help of the TRO online simulator on the website of Spigogroup, which manufactures acoustic panels made of sound-absorbent wood. The simulator will help you learn about the absorption capacity required of the acoustic panels to be chosen. Once you know these details and, if necessary, you have confirmed them with the acoustics consultant, you can choose the acoustic panels made of sound-absorbent wood according to the following criteria: . - Absorption capacity of the acoustic panels made of sound-absorbent wood - Finishes: acoustic panels made of sound-absorbent wood come in natural or melamine finishes, depending on your aesthetic requirements - Dimensions: What is the standard size of acoustic panels made of sound-absorbent wood? Do they fit in your project? Do you require special modulations and trims to adapt them to the project? Is your supplier able to offer them full guarantees? - Ceiling mounting: The installation process will depend on each project. Installations can be done with hidden, visible or partially-visible profiles - Assembling wood walls or wood panelling: There are also different options for assembling wood walls or wood panelling. You can mount acoustic panels made of sound-absorbent wood either horizontally or vertically and this obviously also affects the type of support structure used for installation. - Spare parts: it is important to assess the supplier of acoustic panels made of sound-absorbent wood. Is it a manufacturer? Will there be spare parts in the future or will it be able to manufacture them if necessary? - Quality and certification: It is of vital importance that, when purchasing acoustic ceilings, the manufacturer be required to produce certificates of quality, technical specifications, acoustic certification, fireproof certification, etc... making sure that material actually acquired comes from an approved manufacturer with all relevant documentation and required certification. .

Wood inner linings, wood slats, wood panels... gastrobars and restaurants offer some of the most appealing wood projects and décors. The warmth and elegance of the wood and its decorative value, from the most rustic and classic styles to the most modern and minimalist, have made it the undisputed star of interior design projects in bars, pubs, restaurants and gastrobars across the world.

Just a few weeks ago, a new gastrobar opened in Logroño called Wine Fandango. It is undoubtedly destined to become an icon of Riojan cuisine because of its location where the old Gran Hotel Café used to be, in the centre of Logroño, and its food offer created by Aitor Esnal and Beatriz Martínez, parents of the renowned Restaurante Marinée. We are very proud to have been appointed technical carpentry for the project and been asked to design and install the various wood decorative elements, some of which are very, very special.

Installation of accessible ceilings, acoustic ceilings or false ceiling

By Acoustics, Construction, Decoration, News No Comments
All accessible ceilings and acoustic ceilings and every false ceiling made by Spigogroup and its wood ceilings division, Spigotec, offer an easy, fast assembly. Accessible ceilings consists of wood panels supported by a grid that allow you to take any panel out and put it in again as many times as you want. This type of false ceiling is ideal for integrating accessories such as air vents, fire or safety sensors, lighting, speakers, etc. and, while the same time, hiding other elements such as ventilation ducts, electrical or data wiring, pipes, etc... In addition, if the wood panels used for the accessible ceilings are acoustic panels, i.e., if they have the necessary slots or holes to ensure a certain level of sound absorption, then the accessible ceilings also serve as acoustic ceilings. How are Spigogroup accessible ceilings, acoustic ceilings and false ceiling mounted? First, a grid consisting of profiles is installed. You can choose between 4 types of profiles: . - Concealed on T-24 mm - Semi-concealed on T-15 and T-24 mm - Fileline on T-15 mm - Exposed on T-15 and 24 mm . Then choose the model that you want from more than 30 wood panels or acoustic panels that make up the extensive Spigogroup - Spigotec catalogue, and decide which special wood panels you need for lighting, speakers, or vents, and if you need a perimeter beam closure. The rest? As simple as placing the different wood panels or acoustic panels wherever you want in your grid to complete the accessible ceilings in your office or workplace. Here you can consult the Spigogroup - Spigotec catalogue of wood panels and acoustic panels . If you liked this post, you may also be interested in: . - Watch out!
