Does my project need an acoustic false ceiling? How do I know? What are my options?

By Acoustics, Architecture, Construction, Decoration, News No Comments
An acoustic false ceiling is a type of false ceiling that serves to lower the height of the real ceiling but at the same time manages to improve the acoustics in a room. How do I know if my project needs an acoustic false ceiling? If a room has echoes or reverberation that make it difficult to understand the conversations that occur inside it, it is advisable to install a sound-absorbent acoustic ceiling to help correct these problems. When the original ceiling height allows it, the best option is to decide on a suspended ceiling that, in addition, enables a very useful space for pipes, conduits, cabling and for devices providing, air conditioning, security, home automation and other services. Also, by lowering the ceiling of a room, one reduces the amount of cubic meters of air requiring conditioning, while the air space between the wood suspended ceiling and original ceiling provides heat and sound insulation. In short: if you want to improve the acoustics in a room, hide cables and pipes, and reduce the energy bill of your building, it is clear that you need to install an acoustic false ceiling. And if you prefer a cosy, warm and elegant style, whether traditional or modern, it is best to opt for an acoustic false ceiling made of wood. In the case of acoustic false ceilings such as those offered by Spigotec, we can choose from among more than 40 different models with different degrees of acoustic absorption, with the possibility of opting for fireproof or water-repellent substrates, and each of them with finish options in melamine, natural wood, through-dyed MDF, lacquer or HPL. .

By Acoustics, Architecture, Construction, Decoration, News, Spigogroup wood projects No Comments
Acoustic panels for radio studios that also embellish the room: this is the double mission carried out by the acoustic panels that are installed in the studios of the main radio stations across the world. That is how it is. We no longer conceive a radio studio without its walls covered with sound-absorbent acoustic panels. If there is a room in which optimal acoustics is needed to perfectly hear dialogues and discourses, it is the broadcasting and recording rooms in radio stations. In addition, we are witnessing a new facet in the use of radio studios. A change produced, of course, by the arrival of internet radio. Now, with digital broadcasts through the web, we can listen to any radio in the world from our computer, tablet or smartphone and, in many cases, we can also watch the programme via streaming video, or its subsequent podcast. This has turned radio studios into small television sets which need to look after their appearance more than ever. Now the wood of the acoustic panels for radio studios takes centre stage, bringing warmth and elegance to the room. The new Catalunya Ràdio Barcelona Studio 1 of is a good example of the use of wood acoustic panels for radio studios. In the photos and video clip you can see Spigoacustic acoustic panels, models 8-16-32, 28-NO-32 and 28-NO-16 finished in melamine oak, with Fireproof MDF, a thickness of 16 mm, dovetailed assembly and sound-absorbent, thermo-glued, black fabric on the back of the plates. Just 55 m² of acoustic panels for radio studios that completely change the aesthetics and acoustic comfort of the room. .      . .   .   If you liked this post about acoustic panels for radio studios, you may also be interested in: . - Decorative acoustic panels at the University of Bath (UK) - Acoustic panels in the auditorium of the Qatari Ministry of Municipality and Urban Planning - Decorative acoustic panels for classrooms in schools and universities - Acoustic panels for dining rooms: the dining room of the Guipuzcoa company Danobat

Assembly hall wood panelling in the Cordoba Lawyers Association

By Acoustics, Architecture, Construction, Decoration, News, Spigogroup wood projects No Comments
Many of the posts in this blog have been devoted to wood panelling installed in different types of rooms. Today we are going to talk about assembly hall wood panelling; more specifically, the Spigoacustic brand assembly hall wood panelling at the Cordoba Layers Association, which was installed a few months ago. Assembly halls are, like press rooms and conference rooms, spaces devoted exclusively to public speaking, where all the elements must focus on the comfort of both the speaker and the listener. Comfort not only implies comfortable seats or a good audiovisual setup. It also means that the delivered speech is heard clearly by all attendees. To achieve this, we strongly recommend using assembly hall wood panelling specially designed to offer acoustic absorption that prevents reverberation and those small echoes that, sometimes, hinder the intelligibility of a speech. In this case, about 100 m² of Spigoacustic wood panelling 2400 x 300 mm, made of MDF and 16 mm thick, with varnished steamed beech veneer, fabric and tooled tongue and groove installation. The excellent assembly work demonstrates the versatility of these acoustic panels that can be trimmed to adapt to any feature of the room as, in this case, the frame of the audiovisual screen embedded in the speakers’ area. .     If you liked this post about assembly hall wood panelling, you may also be interested in: . - Go Hasegawa and the use of wood panelling for walls and ceilings - Wood panelling in wineries: 6 examples - The 7 advantages of using wood panelling in your project interiors - Interior wood panelling in the spectacular Auditorium of the Saudi Press Agency in Riyadh
