Wood slat acoustic panels for increased acoustic comfort

By Acoustics, Architecture, Construction, Decoration No Comments

Wood slat acoustic panels serve the dual function of serving as a decorative element and also provide greater acoustic comfort. Acoustic absorption is defined as the ability of a material to decrease the amount of reflected sound energy in a space. When sound waves interact with a solid surface, they bounce off, producing echoes and reverberation. This can lead to poor sound quality and affect acoustics. The basic performance of an acoustic panel is based on the sound absorption capacity of its materials. When, in addition, you add wood slats or laths, you add their sound diffusion capability. The combination of sound absorption and diffusion makes these panels a perfect solution for improving acoustics in a wide variety of environments. Spigogroup has two types of wood slat acoustic panels:   Acoustic system: It is made up of superior acoustic panel with ovoid or circular holes and solid wood slats (square or rectangular section) positioned parallel to each other and perpendicular to this support. This is the ideal solution for acoustic conditioning and reverberation control.   PET System: consists of solid natural obeche wood slats arranged in parallel with an eco-friendly insulating panel with high thermal and acoustic performance, made of 80% recycled polyester fibres, 100% recyclable and with a low carbon footprint. The perfect choice when, in addition to acoustically conditioning, you also need insulation capability.   If you have any questions, please contact Spigogroup鈥檚 technical department: comercial@spigogroup.com           If you liked this post about wood slat acoustic panels, you may also be interested in:   – Acoustic panels for exhibition halls, museums and galleries – How wood panels help to achieve VERDE certification – Flexible wood slat cladding: so acoustics does not limit creativity – 3 examples of interior wood clad3 examples of interior wood cladding for health centres or hospitalsding for health centres or hospitals

Acoustic panels for veterinary clinics – Acoustic comfort for animals

By Acoustics, Architecture, Construction, Decoration No Comments

On more than one occasion we have had the opportunity to provide acoustic panels for veterinary clinics. These places, designed for the healthcare of our pets, look after of every aspect that affects the well-being of their animal patients, and one of them is their acoustic comfort. Animals have different hearing than humans. For example, dogs and cats have a higher sensitivity to high frequencies. This acute hearing sensitivity leads to the animals reacting more to noises. They are particularly affected by noises that trigger flight and defence responses in many of them, and they can even experience acoustic stress, with the ensuing negative impact on their behaviour. Witness the reaction of dogs to firecrackers and fireworks. The design and decoration of veterinary clinics with acoustic panels in examination rooms and waiting rooms help achieve the acoustic comfort that our little companions need to recover their health. Controlling reverberation provides a clearer and healthier sound environment that reinforces calm and quietness, which translates into less nervousness, barking, meowing, etc. Of course, acoustic conditioning of veterinary practices and clinics also benefits the humans working in them, providing a less stressful working space, where it is easier to understand each other and communicate.       If you liked this post about acoustic panels for veterinary clinics, you may also be interested in:   – Aesthetic advantages of Spigoline PET system wood slat insulation – Artificial intelligence, acoustics and architecture – Acoustic panels for exhibition halls, museums and galleries – Acoustic panels for press rooms: press room at the Ministry of Justice in Madrid

Aesthetic advantages of Spigoline PET system wood slat insulation

By Acoustics, Architecture, Construction, Decoration, News, Spigogroup wood projects No Comments

Spigoline PET System wood slat insulation consists of solid natural obeche wood slats arranged in parallel with an eco-friendly insulating panel with high thermal and acoustic performance, made of 80% recycled polyester fibres, 100% recyclable and with a low carbon footprint. The main utility of this type of acoustic panels is the combination of a high level of sound absorption, ideal for insulation and acoustic conditioning works, with the warm and modern aesthetics of wood. Choosing Spigoline PET System wood slat insulation also provides another aesthetic advantage over similar products available on the market. It uses solid natural obeche wood laths. This means that, as it is solid wood and not post-finished chipboard or wood fibre panels, Spigoline PET System cladding has the same appearance on all sides of the lath. This point may not seem important but it is key to understanding the final appearance of a ceiling or wall with this cladding. When you stand in front of it, you see the front face of the lath but, when you walk across the room, what you see are the sides. If the front face is finished but the sides are unfinished and only show the chipboard or wood fibre base when cut, it looks odd and fails to meet the decorative expectations of the cladding. With the Spigoline PET System this does not happen. The appearance of the solid wood is uniform on all three visible faces (front and sides) from any position, providing the desired decorative harmony.       If you liked this post about wood slat insulation, you may also be interested in:   – What do wood slats contribute to the decoration of foyers? – Flexible wood slat cladding: so acoustics does not limit creativity – Spigogroup launches new wood slat cladding with PET felt insulation – How to install solid wood slats on walls

What do wood slats contribute to the decoration of foyers?

By Architecture, Construction, Decoration, News, Spigogroup wood projects No Comments

The benefits of using wood slats in decoration of foyers are diverse. On the one hand, wood is a sustainable material that contributes to reducing the building carbon footprint. It is durable and, with proper care it can last a long time. In addition, its natural beauty and versatility fit in with different home designs and styles, enhancing the look of the foyer. But, above all, wood brings warmth and distinction, making the first space seen by a visitor to a building elegant and welcoming; a place you want to enter. When renovating or refurbishing foyers and offices, wood slats are often used in walls and ceilings. They are often also used to conceal luminaires, sensors, cameras or other automation systems. Spigoline brand wood slat cladding offers four different types of systems for use in foyer decoration: those consisting of parallel wood slats joined together (either by wood rods in the GRID system or by crossbeams or cross slats in the LINEAL system); a ACOUSTIC system on a sound-absorbing wood acoustic panel; and a PET system using 100% recycled PET felt insulation. In this Bilbao building foyer designed by ARKrea architectural services and installed by Repair Estructuras, 60 m虏 of Spigoline Grid 4-30-70-55 with black rods with PSM R12509 finish and standard varnish were installed. The result, as you can see, is spectacular.       If you liked this post about decoration of foyers, you may also be interested in:   – Acoustic panels for exhibition halls, museums and galleries – How wood panels help to achieve VERDE certification – Flexible wood slat cladding: so acoustics does not limit creativity – 3 examples of interior wood cladding for health centres or hospitals
