Changing room lockers: material combinations and lead times

By Acoustics, Architecture, Construction, Decoration, News No Comments
Changing room lockers have a prominent place in the sports furniture catalogue of Spigocompac, the Spigogroup division that manufactures phenolic lockers, cubicles and benches. It is a product always present in schools, sports facilities, airports and coach and train stations, radio and TV studios, public buildings, health centres and leisure buildings, restaurants or multi-purpose buildings. The advantages of changing room lockers made with phenolic panel are many: they are water or moisture resistant, they are very hard and rugged, their installation does not require brickwork, they adapt to the dimensions of the room in which they work and to the irregularities of the floor, they are self-supporting and, in addition, they are easy to clean and disinfect. Spigocompac offers changing room lockers in standard sizes (although we can also manufacture custom sizes) with different combinations of materials. Thus, if the frame of the locker (sides, top, base and shelves) is compact or melamine board, compact board is recommended for the doors and, if the frame is Compacmel, the front should be made of the same material. Spigocompac changing room lockers and sports furniture can be completed with other elements such as coat racks, shelves, sloping ceilings, counter tops, partitions and wrist straps for locker keys. The lead time for Spigocompac phenolic lockers is 3 or 4 weeks. Should you require a customised piece of sports furniture, you will be made aware of the lead times before you place the order.   SEE THE SPIGOCOMPAC CHANGING ROOM LOCKERS .

The most popular doors for sports centres

By Acoustics, Architecture, Construction, Decoration, Inspiration, News No Comments
When it comes to choosing doors for sports centres, gyms, swimming pools or spas one should take into account, first of all, the part of the facilities where each door will be located. It is clear that a changing room door is not the same as an office door, nor do either have anything to do with the door of the Zumba classroom or an emergency exit door. However, what all doors for sports centres do have in common is that they must be particularly resistant to use, because they are facilities that will be used daily by hundreds of different people. Therefore, it is highly recommended to opt for a door brand, such as Spigodoor, that offers an ample catalogue with an excellent quality so that the doors resist the day-to-day wear of the sports centre. It is also important that the brand be a manufacturer, like Spigodoor, the Spigogroup technical doors division, as this ensures availability of spare parts and, in addition, offers the possibility of custom door sizes. The Spigodoor catalogue offers Basic Series technical doors for common uses, available in various cores, edges and finishes, with special systems or accessories to cater to any use in the sports centre. In addition, Spigodoor has a line of fire doors that offer the protection required by safety regulations, and acoustic doors that can assure optimal acoustic comfort in the rooms where musical activities take place (zumba, dance, aerobics, etc.) VER CATALOGO DE PUERTAS PARA CENTROS DEPORTIVOS SPIGODOOR   .

5 Reasons why you should use obeche wood slats in your project

By Acoustics, Architecture, Construction, Decoration, News No Comments
Many of the wood slats that you can see in hotel receptions, restaurants, offices and other spaces are obeche wood slats. Many of the Spigoline wood slats are also obeche wood slats. We briefly explain why we choose this little known wood that is nonetheless ubiquitous in architecture, construction and decoration. Obeche wood is native to the western jungles of Central Africa and is known by different names depending on the country: wawa in Ghana, obeche in Nigeria, ayous in Cameroon and samba in the Ivory Coast. It grows naturally, but the wood used in Spigoline comes from regulated, sustainable plantations that guarantee an environmentally-friendly source. The main advantages of obeche wood are: It has a very low density (about 380 kg per m³). It is very light, ideal for false ceilings and wood ceilings. It is also very easy to handle during installation. Its natural colour is a yellowish white, which makes it easy to stain in any colour. Spigoline wood slats come in finishes in natural obeche wood, stained obeche wood (beech, oak, cherry, maple and wenge) and lacquered obeche wood (RAL/NCR colours). It is easy to machine, does not chip and is very easy to work with. It is more economical than other solid woods and offers a similar aspect. However, at Spigoline we can manufacture solid wood slats made of oak, pine, beech or other options for projects using wood slats in walls and ceilings.   .

The acoustic performance of Spigoline tiles made of wood slats

By Acoustics, Architecture, Construction, Decoration, News No Comments
Acoustic tiles made of wood slats have earned a key position in the Spigogroup acoustic solutions catalogue. When you undertake a project to improve the comprehensive acoustics of a space you need a range of options that offer different combinations of acoustic efficiency and aesthetic value. Acoustic tiles made of wood slats are acoustic solutions that can offer the coveted middle term. The Spigoline system of tiles made of wood slats is called GRID. It is made up of slats of solid wood (square of rectangular sections) positioned parallel to each other, joined together by wooden rods (12 mm diameter). The visual result is extraordinary. The effect of the wood slats placed along perfectly parallel lines and the warmth of the wood offer a very elegant, modern look. With respect to acoustics, Spigoline GRID is an open model. To add acoustic absorption, it is sufficient to include a material on the back of the panel that absorbs the sound coming across the tile through the slats. This acoustic absorption is, however, difficult to evaluate. It is perfect for improving acoustic comfort in offices, meeting rooms, lobbies or restaurants, but it is not the most recommended solution for a highly-controlled acoustic intervention such as required by theatres or auditoriums. In these cases you would resort to Spigoacustic or Spigotec acoustic panels, or to the Spigoline Acoustic system of acoustic tiles made of wood slats. Acoustic system is made up of superior acoustic panel with ovoid or circular holes and solid wood slats (squared or rectangular section) positioned parallel to each other and perpendicular to this support. In this case, it is possible to guarantee precise, controlled levels of absorption that require more technical acoustic conditioning. . . ..   SEE THE SPIGOLINE ACOUSTIC TILES MADE OF WOOD SLATS CATALOGUE . .
