Resetting the counter

By News, Spigogroup wood projects No Comments
The holiday season. In our professional routine, it will mean little more than some slight disruptions: a short holiday to enjoy the festivities, setting aside the manufacturing process of less urgent orders of acoustic panels and wood ceilings and the usual vortex in the Spigogroup marketing department, although now devoted to end-of-year mailings and advertising designs with winter and well-wishing references. Nothing problematic or harmful. On 8 January, everything will be the same as before. We will return with our acoustic conditioning projects, with our designs of wood ceilings for large auditoriums, with cladding proposals employing wood slats to beautify rooms and dining rooms, with the tasks of equipping sports facilities with our phenolic sports furniture, with the technical studies of our fire doors and acoustic doors... Yes, on January 8 everything will return to normal. At a personal level, it will be different. The holiday season is the time to look back and review how the year has gone. It is a time when, protected by the joy of the parties, family warmth and sweet desserts, we can renew our hopes. Becoming children again for a few days, we remove the armour and protective barriers that, as adults, we use the rest of the year and we devote ourselves to our loved ones with the most sincere of our smiles. It's time to set the counter back to zero, to start over and to be better. .

Acoustic diffusers with wood slats for the acoustic conditioning of large spaces

By Acoustics, Architecture, Construction, Decoration, News No Comments
Acoustic diffusers are employed in acoustic conditioning to distribute sound energy throughout a room in terms of particular requirements. In most cases, the use of diffusers panels is carried out in combination with acoustic panels to absorb sound and avoid reverberation. So, diffuser panels and acoustic panels work together absorbing (panels) and distributing (diffusers) sound and contributing to achieve the sound uniformity that is sought when undertaking the acoustic conditioning of a room. There are many types of acoustic diffusers but, without a doubt, the most popular are the acoustic diffuser that, in addition to fulfilling their acoustic function also help improve the aesthetics of a space. The clearest example are the acoustic diffusers with wood slats which allow for a discreet, warm, elegant design with wood ceilings and walls. In the case of acoustic diffusers with wood slats, such as those in the Spigoline Acoustic System, their design and ability to spread sound waves is set by the width and height of the wood slats and the separation between them. This Spigoline Acoustic System can also be used over a perforated panel bottom that performs, in this case, as a sound-absorbent acoustic panel. .

How to use decorative soundproofing panels or acoustic pictures to acoustically condition a room

By Acoustics, Architecture, Construction, Decoration, News No Comments
Sometimes the problems of reverberation after the construction or remodelling of a room are, unfortunately, very evident and annoying. In these cases, you need a thorough intervention in acoustic conditioning, which includes replacing ceilings and doors with acoustic ceilings and acoustic doors, and the incorporation of acoustic panels on the walls. On other occasions the solution is simpler and is solved with the use of decorative soundproofing panels in the form of acoustic pictures. The use of decorative soundproofing panels is very simple. Once the reverberation is detected in a room you need to install elements that absorb the sound instead of bouncing it to our ears. Decorative soundproofing panels in the form of acoustic pictures, are in fact sound-absorbent acoustic panels customised with a finish or print. This means that they absorb the sound. So, just by looking for a gap in some of the walls of the room, they will mitigate the effect of the reverberation and significantly improve the acoustics of the room. To get a rough estimate of the amount of acoustic absorption your room needs to correct reverberation you can use the Optimum Reverberation Time Online Calculator available at www.spigogroup.com. Then, you can contact Spigoart, the division of Spigogroup which manufactures decorative soundproofing panels, acoustic pictures and acoustic islands, where they will advise you on the most suitable panel types and sizes for your case. The last step is the simplest. Just decide on the design, photograph or illustration for your decorative soundproofing panels and hang them just like a picture.   .
