What is hotel acoustic conditioning? How does it work?

By Acoustics, Architecture, Construction, Decoration

If you are the owner or director of a hotel establishment you already know: hotel acoustic conditioning is crucial to guarantee the comfort of your guests. Many hotels, hostels, inns, guest houses and similar types of accommodation suffer from high levels of reverberation and background noise. The most common reason is that hotel common areas (reception, lounges, corridors, etc.) usually have highly reflective materials, such as mirrors, ceramics or glass, which cloud the acoustics of the room. The solution lies in the acoustic conditioning of the hotel, which involves the study and installation of absorbent materials to ensure control of reverberation, thus guaranteeing the desired acoustic comfort. These materials should be seamlessly integrated into the design of the various hotel spaces without drawing attention to themselves. Spigogroup offers the widest range of wooden acoustic panels for hotel acoustic conditioning. These wood acoustic panels can be easily and conveniently installed on the ceilings and/or walls of each room, as needed to enhance the acoustics of each space. Additionally, wood is a warm and elegant material that discreetly adds a degree of distinction to the overall design of a hotel. Alternatively, if the hotel design requires it, these panels can also be used with finishes in any desired tone, texture, or color.         If you liked this post about hotel acoustic conditioning, you may also be interested in:     – Flexible wood slat cladding: so acoustics does not limit creativity – Spigogroup launches new wood slat cladding with PET felt insulation – The benefits of using wood panels in Passivhaus-certified projects – 5 reasons to use wood if you want to earn BREEAM certification

The 3 big mistakes to avoid in office renovations

By Acoustics, Architecture, Construction, Decoration

Office renovation is a very important milestone in the history of your business. Offices are the places where all, or at least a large part, of the employees in an organisation carry out their work every day. It is also the place where customers and suppliers are received and where major decisions are made. That is why it is so important to take care of office design and avoid those three big mistakes that can significantly affect the well-being and efficiency of your employees.   Forgetting about acoustics After months of reform and a significant financial investment, the time has come for workers to return to the office. It is terrible to discover at that moment that the acoustics are deplorable and that the workplace, far from improving, has gotten worse. Acoustics must be taken into account from the beginning of the project. Plan the acoustic conditioning of the new office: analyze the dimensions and separations, and take into account the finishes used, as well as the furniture and people who will fill the different rooms each day, and install the acoustic panels that can guarantee the acoustic comfort you need.   Failing to ensure good lighting and warmth Natural light has been shown to increase productivity and job satisfaction, and incorporating warm elements, such as wood, helps create a welcoming and motivating work environment. Bet on the warmth of the wooden coverings on walls and ceilings and on the light effects of the wooden slats.   Failing to value perceived quality Perceived quality goes beyond aesthetics; It is about how employees and visitors experience a work environment and how it translates to the image they will have of the organization. Use noble materials such as solid wood, choose quality furniture, propose an intelligent arrangement of spaces and pay attention to details.       If you liked this post about office renovations, you may also be interested in:   – Installation of solid wood slat cladding using the GRID system – Wood ceilings for wineries: tradition and modernity in the great temples of wine – Why is wood one of the best materials for decorating and constructing buildings? – Definition of acoustic conditioning and soundproofing, what is the difference?

What are wooden ceiling tiles? What options exist?

By Acoustics, Architecture, Construction, Decoration No Comments

We call wooden ceiling tiles those interior coverings made of wood and that allow, among others, the beautification of ceilings, the concealment of wiring or channeling and the control of the acoustics of a room.   Spigoacustic wood acoustic panels Spigoacustic is the system made up of linear sound-absorbent panels or acoustic panels designed to offer an optimum acoustic performance. It offers almost 30 models with different degrees of acoustic absorption. In their face side they are made of an MDF support with a sound-absorbing veil thermo-adhered to its hidden side. At sight, they present combinations of channels with circular perforations and finishes in varnished natural wood, high-density veneers or lacquered. See Spigoacustic         Spigotec wood false ceilings Spigotec is the brand of wooden ceiling tiles designed for the installation of false wood ceilings. They serve to keep conduits, pipes and cables hidden, and are used in acoustic conditioning projects. You can choose from more than 40 different models. See Spigotec         Spigoline wood slat cladding Spigoline offers solid wood slat cladding for ceilings or walls, an option that is increasingly in demand due to its high aesthetic impact on any project. In this case, rather than plates, we are talking about grills of parallel wooden slats joined together. Its catalog includes 70 models, some with acoustic absorption capacity. See Spigoline         Spigoplank decorative wood panels Spigoplank offers solid wood panels for ceilings and walls, with volumetric shapes and highly decorative three-dimensional surfaces and with reflective and sound-diffusing capabilities.
