Slight variations of tone in natural wood finishes

By Acoustics, Architecture, Construction, Decoration, Inspiration, News No Comments
Spigogroup inner linings and acoustic panels offer different options of lacquer finishes, through-dyed MDF, melamine, HPL high pressure laminate veneer and natural wood finishes. Our catalogue lists each type of finish dozens of options of chromatic ranges, so that construction, decoration and interior design professionals can choose the ideal finish for their project. We know how important it is for every finish shown on the catalogue to match the product that is delivered. We therefore try to ensure that, despite the innumerable technical difficulties (inks, temperatures or types of paper and printing), the colours shown in our paper catalogues are as close as possible to reality. We do the same with its digital version, although in this format we face an invincible obstacle, namely that the colour and brightness calibration of each individual screen is different. In the case of natural wood finishes we must speak of another peculiarity that affects the final tone of the product. Natural wood is a living material, coming from a unique and unrepeatable source: a tree. That is why, sometimes, natural wood finishes do not match so accurately the tones that are shown in the catalogue. There are slight, insurmountable, variations, simply because no oak is identical to another oak, nor are there two identical beech trees, and so on. These slight variations in tone are not a problem, they are a virtue. Choosing natural wood finishes is a commitment to the quality and elegance of a unique and exclusive material that offers a special link between human creation and nature. .

Four wood accessible ceiling tile accessories

By Acoustics, Architecture, Construction, Decoration, News No Comments
Today we are going to discover four wood accessible ceiling tile accessories. As you well know, accessible ceilings are installed employing a grid system that offers a space between the false ceiling and the original ceiling (plenum), allowing quick access and replacement of single tiles without having to dismantle the entire ceiling. This last advantage is the key feature of this type of ceiling. When the tiles used in accessible ceilings are acoustic panels you can fine tune the acoustic absorption capacity of the ceiling by replacing some tiles with others that offer greater or lesser sound absorption. Accessible ceilings also hide water piping, air ducts, electrical, electronic and safety wiring systems. These systems may require special ceiling tiles or ceiling tile accessories located on the ceilings. These are some of the most common types: Speaker tiles: they have slots specially designed to let the sound through coming from speakers hidden behind the accessible ceilings in public address or ambient music systems. Ventilation tiles: the system is similar to speaker tiles, but in this case, what they let through is the air coming from the building’s ventilation or air conditioning systems. Downlight tiles: they are those that hold the downlights of the room’s lighting system. In this case you can opt for both square and round tiles. The advance of home automation and the technology applied to construction has put dozens of new surveillance systems, security, detectors and sensors on the market that can also be discreetly integrated into the wood accessible ceilings used in homes, offices and community service buildings. If you need a special complement to integrate a device in a ceiling, consult us about it. At Spigogroup, we are manufacturers and we can design special tiles to suit your needs. .

Acoustic panels with natural wood veneer: many more options than you thought

By Acoustics, Architecture, Construction, Decoration, Inspiration, News, Spigogroup wood projects No Comments
Acoustic panels with natural wood veneer currently offer many more finish options than classic acoustic panels and they are always highly valued, whether beech, oak, maple or cherry. Natural wood veneer consists of a very thin sheet of wood, only a few millimetres thick, which is glued to the acoustic panel. This way, you get acoustic panels that have the same look as solid wood but with a significant reduction in price and, above all, in the weight of the panel. The latter is very important as most acoustic panels are installed on walls and ceilings. Until now the reason why acoustic panels with natural wood veneer were chosen for projects was to have the elegance and warmth offered by traditional natural woods such as oak, beech, etc. Thanks to the application of varnishes or waxes it was possible to maintain the properties and appearance of the original wood. Today, acoustic panel catalogues have dozens of options with different natural wood veneers. On the one hand you can opt for special tree species such as wenge, ash and zebrawood. In addition, you can decide on pre-stained or pre-made sheets that cover the entire chromatic range. You can also choose from hundreds of options of veins, knots and textures that complete a catalogue that can supply any project you can imagine, however fantastic. Would you like us to help you with your next project? Tell us about it and we will offer you the options of acoustic panels made of natural wood veneer which best suit your needs.         .   If you liked this post about acoustic panels with natural wood veneer, you may also be interested in: . - Decorative acoustic panels for classrooms in schools and universities - Spigogroup launches its factory outlet of wood acoustic panels - Square hole acoustic panels – Spigotec models - Colour acoustic panels for decorative projects in shops
