Inner linings for offices, the doors of rooms and offices and partitions mark to a great extent the aesthetic tone of a workplace. The materials used, the colour hues, the ability and creativity to offer original forms and formats distinguish a normal office from a special one. An office is, in a certain way, a showcase for a company’s policies and style. It projects an image that is not only directed towards visitors but also, and above all, towards the employees themselves. With these starting points, we undertook the wood project of the reform of the offices of the Jamones Volatín factory in Tudela, one of Navarre's leading agrifood companies in the meat sector. As specialists in wood, we supplied both bespoke manufactured inner linings for offices and wood doors, partitions, counters and other wood components in the decoration project. The pictures below speak for themselves, showing the dimensions and excellent aesthetic results of this project in which oak abounds and creative wood solutions: office partitions made with oak planks installed with floor-to-ceiling brackets, waiting room panels in matt lacquered MDF, flush panels and access doors of the Spigodoor Basic series with special panelling systems, countertops, shelves, cabinets and even a wooden staircase. .

Geometric compositions with the grooves. Stratford University. Decorative ceilings undoubtedly fulfil a key aesthetic function. The large surface offered by ceilings in rooms provides an extraordinary opportunity to convey sensations of warmth, beauty, luxury and elegance. But decorative ceilings can also be used to correct defects in the acoustics of a space thereby improving the correct hearing of music or voice by users. Following are some ideas for choosing decorative ceilings that also improve acoustics: You can decorate a ceiling using wood decorative acoustic panels in its composition and combining the different available finishes or making geometric compositions with the grooves that these panels use for acoustic absorption. That is what they did at the Stratford University (United Kingdom) You can also achieve decorative ceilings by using acoustic islands to compose acoustic ceilings with parts at different heights. Following is an example at Monkton Combe School in Bath, UK Monkton Combe School, en Bath (Inglaterra) Another option is to install attractive acoustic ceilings made with wood slats, like this one in the Sociedad Gastronómica San Nicolás food club in Logroño.

If you have a good budget and you work with a good door manufacturer, the interior door sizes in your project will be the one you want. As in everything, if you want to, and can afford to work outside standard door sizes, you can always do that. Is this your case? Do you need to work with non-standard door sizes? Contact Spigodoor and tell us about your project. But we know that this situation is not often the case. Normally, budget limitations require that you use standard door sizes. The most common interior door sizes or standard door sizes, share a common height of 2.030 mm and come in different widths to choose from: 425, 525, 625, 725, 825 and 925 mm. These door sizes are applicable both to simple wood doors and house doors and to technical doors that may be needed in other types of buildings: acoustic doors or soundproof doors, fire doors or FR doors, special doors, etc. At Spigodoor, the division of Spigogroup which manufactures wood technical doors, we insist on the importance of not ordering doors based on the standard door sizes in drawings but to measure the real height and and width of the opening of each door. In this post we explain a little better how to take measures to place an order and get the interior door sizes that you need. .
