Why choosing the right wood panel can be decisive for your project

By Acoustics, Architecture, Construction, Decoration, News No Comments
The kind of wood panel used in an architectural or decorative project can be decisive in many aspects. Some may be obvious to most. Others maybe not so much. If you have already decided, by choice or imposition, that the project in which you work will include some kind of wood panel, let's remember three aspects of your project that may be affected.   Aesthetics: Nobody will be surprised if we insist in that the type of wood panel you choose can be determinant in the final look of the project. The thickness and dimensions of the panel you choose are important, and, of course, the colour or wood shade are also crucial. In addition, in the catalogues of wood panels most used in architecture and construction such as Spigoacustic or Spigotec, finishes include lacquers, melamines or high-density veneers that offer other colours on demand. Acoustics: By itself the wood is already a material with sound-absorbing properties but if you need to undertake some acoustic conditioning, you can choose to install wood acoustic panels. This type of acoustic panel has perforations on its surface that allows the passage of sound waves to an absorbent veil. Depending on the size and shape of the perforations an acoustic panel will offer greater or lesser acoustic absorption and will be more or less indicated for the acoustic correction that we wish to perform. Sustainability and environment: Wood is an easily recyclable material but it is not the same to choose one type of wood or another. Wood panels like those made by Spigogroup have PEFC or FSC certifications to guarantee their provenance from sustainably managed forests and the maintenance of the PEFC or FSC Chain of Custody System up to the final product. .

Spigogroup to exhibit at Architect@Work Madrid 2019

By Acoustics, Architecture, Construction, Decoration, News No Comments
Architect@Work Madrid 2019, the most exclusive event in Madrid targeting at architects, interior designers and building sector professionals, opens its doors at IFEMA on May 29-30. This is its second edition, after the success of last year in terms of both visitors and exhibitors. On that occasion we only visited it, and we liked it. Architect at Work Madrid shuns that traditional trade fair image with mammoth stands, and opts for an elegant, welcoming atmosphere of uniform stands where you can show products and materials in a more personal, approachable close way. We believed that the distinction, elegance and warmth offered by Spigogroup wood solutions had found their ideal showcase and we decided that, in the next edition, we would be exhibitors. The time has come and we can announce that Spigogroup will be an exhibitor at Architect@Work Madrid 2019. Spigogroup will be part of the, rigorously selected, 160 national and international suppliers who are leaders in their field, who will show their latest innovations. We will go there with our new brand catalogues of Spigoacustic acoustic panels, Spigotec false ceilings, Spigoline wood slats, Spigodoor technical doors, Spigoart acoustic pictures and Spigocompac sports furniture. Are you going to visit Architect@Work Madrid 2019? Spigogroup awaits you at booth 132. There we can talk about your projects and we will show you our latest models of acoustic panels and wood inner linings. Feel free to arrange a meeting by writing to marketing@spigogroup.com .

Spigoline doubles the number of items in its catalogue of wood slat panels

By Acoustics, Architecture, Construction, Decoration, News No Comments
The Spigoline catalogue of wood slat panels grows and improves. The GRID System of slat panel has significantly expanded the number of options available with the incorporation of 28 new special items, going from the eight models available so far to a total of 36 options. Thus the final Spigoline catalogue consisting of models of the GRID System, of the ACOUSTIC Sound-Absorbing System and of the LINEAL System, doubles its total number of items, increasing from 20 to 48 models of wood slats. Many projects require special products that do not exist in the market. Those responsible for the development of these works know that the Spigoline catalogue of wood slats is extensive both in models and finishes, but they also know that we are manufacturers and that, if your project requires some type of variation in some model, we can adapt it on request. The new features of the Spigoline catalogue of wood slats are some of the variants most requested by clients of the most popular models of the brand. In most cases, the change supposes lightening of the density of wood slats per panel which allows, for example, to include other elements such as luminaries, loudspeakers or sensors between slats. If you want to discover the new Spigoline GRID System slat panel models, follow this link where you can also download the relevant data sheet for each model. If you want to review the traditional models you can do so through this link. .

Comprehensive building acoustics: the importance of being able to understand a conversation.

By Acoustics, Architecture, Construction, Decoration, News No Comments
When we talk about comprehensive building acoustics we refer to the discipline that ensures that the different values of acoustic comfort of a building are optimal for users. The values encompassed by comprehensive building acoustics have their technical translation in the world of acoustics. So, when we talk about preventing external noises from invading the interior of a space we talk about soundproofing, and when it comes to avoiding the slight permanence of sound, or reverberation, which hinders the understanding of messages, conversations or discourses, we refer to acoustic conditioning. Reverberation is when a sound stays around longer than normal, making it difficult to hear and properly understand messages. Explained in a more technical manner, “reverberation time ” is the time it takes for the sound to decay by 60 dB as received stood the sound emission source stops. Reverberation can be a desirable property, for example in auditoriums, to the extent that it helps to overcome the drop in sound intensity in the room. However, if it is excessive, the sound becomes confusing. In smaller rooms where it is not necessary to maintain the sound intensity, reverberation would not produce any benefit. In both cases it must be measured and controlled. From Spigogroup we put at your disposal our comprehensive building acoustics consultancy, formed by specialized professionals who always try to offer the best acoustic conditioning solution, which is totally adapted to current legislation and in accordance with construction and decorative exigencies of each customer.
