The acoustic conditioning of a bar - restaurant aims to provide customers with a welcoming and comfortable environment. When undertaking the construction or reform of a bar or restaurant one has to take into account different aspects that will make the establishment a welcoming place for those who visit it. Acoustic conditioning is one of them. When building and decorating a bar & restaurant, one carefully chooses the furniture and its location, designs attractive lighting that combines, if possible, natural light and artificial light, and studies in detail the movements and behaviour of customers in the interior of the establishment. These actions that aim to ensure a pleasant and unique experience include acoustic conditioning in order to provide the best possible acoustic experience. The acoustic conditioning of a room allows for controlled reverberation time, thereby reducing the time that sound remains after it has been emitted. With acoustic conditioning, we avoid that particularly annoying sound permanence which occurs when sounds from different sources come together. This is what can happen in a bar or restaurant where there are different conversations at the same time, mixing with piped-in music, the television, the sound of refrigerators, cash registers, other materials and sounds coming in from the exterior (traffic, pedestrian bustle, etc...). In a bar & restaurant the acoustic conditioning requires a prior study followed by the installation, of acoustic panels made of soundabsorbent wood both in the wood panelling of the walls and in the acoustic ceilings (in some cases consisting of a false ceiling). In other cases the acoustic conditioning can also be carried out by the strategic placement of pictures made with acoustic panels. .

The acoustic conditioning of the various rooms in headquarters has become another phase of any construction project. Spigogroup is a technical carpentry specialising in the manufacture of wood panels for decoration and acoustic conditioning projects across the world. For many years now, we have been serving orders from different Asian and Middle Eastern markets for projects that require a supplier of acoustic panels which, like Spigogroup, is also a manufacturer capable of serving quality materials and reliably and on time. Thus, in 2013, the Qatar Development Bank - QDB, one of the leading financial institutions, which led the financial growth and development of the State of Qatar, did us the honour of appointing us through our distributor in the area, as suppliers of wood panels for the acoustic conditioning if its headquarters in the capital of Qatar, Doha. At our operating centre in Spain, we produced the necessary material for the acoustic conditioning of the big department halls, auditorium, prayer rooms and common rooms at QDB headquarters. In total, we installed close to 1,000 sq.m. of model LEO 16 acoustic wood panels made of cherry melamine and fireproof MDF (B-s2, d0), installed by a local company specialising in assembling these types of inner linings. The project photos show the aesthetic result of the wood panels used to carry out the acoustic conditioning of the different rooms. The finish on the wood panelling of the columns in the various rooms is worth taking a close look. .

This the technical carpentry woodwork and wood slats prepared by Spigogroup for the University College of Bergen, Norway. Some of the wood projects on which we work daily end up offering stunning visual results. A clear example of this are the technical carpentry woodwork and wood slats we supplied the University College of Bergen in Norway over several years from 2012. In total we delivered on time close to 4,000 m² of top quality wood slats and acoustic panels for the University's department rooms, classrooms, receptions, cafeteria, auditorium and diversity gymnasium. All the material was manufactured in Spain and installed by a Norwegian assembly company. The project pictures show the special acoustic inner linings made with trapezoidal solid varnished oak wood slats shown on a pine wood frame used in the cafeteria, reception, gym, stairs, hallways and other common areas. The pictures also show the special cladding with Spigotec brand perforated acoustic panels and other details of the technical carpentry woodwork. In addition to the wood slats and acoustic panels, the work commissioned included other technical carpentry work, like the chests of drawers of varnished oak wood effect, niches for wardrobes, MDB cupboard doors, varnished oak tables and benches, and other elements .

Wood slats are used in construction and decoration in some of the most brilliant architectural projects of the United Kingdom. As we have on other occasions, we wanted to dive into the sea of architectural proposals carried out in the United Kingdom in recent years in order to find out, this time, how wood slats are used in various projects. We can enjoy cladding with solid wood slats on façades but also in interior details in buildings with different uses. Following are 8 architecture projects which made good use of wood slats: . 1.- Wood slats in the garden of the Jewel Box, in Islington, London, by Fraher Architects.
