Spigotec is Spigo’s range of acoustic wood tiles for ceilings. Wood false ceilings, wood ceilings and wall coverings, specially designed for enclosed spaces in which aesthetics and acoustic conditioning are earmarked astheir best attributes. . In the search for acoustically pleasant environments, acoustic ceiling tiles have become a widespread solution in both commercial and residential spaces. Of the many materials available, wood acoustic panels stand out not only for their aesthetics but also for their functional advantages. . There are about 41 models of Spigotec acoustic wood tiles for ceilings. All the models are resistant to fire and humidity, they are very easy to install and offer different degrees of acoustic absorption according to the needs of each project. . Depending on the type of perforation they feature, the Spigotec catalogue of acoustic wood ceiling panels is divided into six families. . . • Model Plain: without perforations. See model • Circular perforation models: 12 tiles with circular perforations offering weighted absorption coefficients between 0.208 and 0.518, and a perforated surface area percentage between 1.20% and 11.10%. See models • Grooved/ovoid perforation models: 9 tiles with grooved/ovoid perforations offering weighted absorption coefficients between 0.348 and 0.593, and a perforated surface area percentage between 6,50% and 17,72 %. See models • Squared perforation models: 3 tiles with squared perforations offering weighted absorption coefficients between 0.377 and 0.487, and a perforated surface area percentage between 7,70 % y 25,00 %. See models • Microperforated models: 9 tiles with microperforated perforations offering weighted absorption coefficients between 0,1 (LM) and 0,554, and a perforated surface area percentage between 0,68 % and 11,80 %.   See models . • Special models: 7 tiles with special perforations offering weighted absorption coefficients between 0.070 y 0.498, and a percentage of perforated surface of up to 10,65 %.

Wood panelling and the perception of luxury

By Decoración, Decoration, Inspiración, Inspiration, Spigogroup wood projects

Wood panelling and the perception of luxury are closely linked. Wood has always been a symbol of elegance and sophistication in interior decoration. Its use transcends cultures and trends, providing warmth and a touch of discreet luxury. This is partly because wood, with its unique texture and natural patterns, connects spaces with nature, providing a welcoming and refined atmosphere that rarely goes out of style. Incorporating wood into the decoration of a room, whether in furniture, wall coverings or decorative wood panels, increases the perception of quality and exclusivity. Traditional noble woods such as walnut, oak or ebony are often associated with luxury due to their unrivalled durability, strength and beauty. Others, such as maple, pear, beech, cherry or ayous, have also gained great popularity in recent years and are increasingly used due to their regenerative capacity and lightness.     If we talk about decorative wood slats or solid wood slats, the feeling of elegance and exclusivity that they convey is even clearer. Sergio Oliván, general manager of Spigo believes that “their presence on walls or ceilings transforms spaces, adding texture and depth while transmitting warmth and naturalness. Being made of solid wood, they offer a robust and high-quality appearance, generating an exclusive and refined environment that captivates and lasts.”       For wood cladding with panels, solid wood is ideal, but there is the option, more economical and with a very similar aesthetic result, of using panels made up of bases of cheaper materials, such as MDF, to which a melamine or varnished natural wood finish is added.

Trends in office decoration and design for 2024

By Acoustics, Architecture, Decoration, Inspiration No Comments

In 2024, trends in office decoration and design are going to reflect an evolution towards more flexible, sustainable and technologically advanced workplaces. Office spaces have been transformed to adapt to the changing needs of modern professionals, prioritizing productivity, comfort and creativity. These are some of the guidelines that will mark the design of workplaces in the coming months:   Hybrid spaces: Next year’s projects will focus on multi-purpose uses and versatility. Teleworking prevailed during the pandemic and it has left its mark. New workplace formats have been created to combine work at home with days in the office and the greater use of meeting rooms..       Acoustics: Acoustics are more important than ever when it comes to improving the productivity of meetings, which will often combine in-person attendants and teleconferencing. Furthermore, the sound comfort offered by the use of acoustic panels protects the health of employees by reducing stress and improving communication among professionals.       Biophilic design and eco-friendly or recycled materials: Biophilic design seeks to incorporate nature into interior spaces. Interior cladding options, such as those in the Spigogroup catalogue, made with PEFC or FSC certified wood, which guarantees its origin from sustainably managed forests, or combined with insulating felts (PET system) made with 80% recycled polyester fibres, will be the materials most valued when considering new office decoration and design projects in the coming months.             If you liked this post about office decoration, you may also be interested in:   – 21 Articles on acoustic conditioning and insulation with wood – Ecological panels with SPIGOLINE PET slats: Solid slats or MDF slats? – Restaurant décor: the 3 mistakes you can’t make in 2024 – The importance of acoustics in coliving or cohousing

Acoustic conditioning of classrooms: calculation of reverberation time and recommendations

By Acoustics, Architecture, Construction, Decoration, Inspiration, News No Comments

The acoustic conditioning of classrooms is key to correcting reverberation and achieving good acoustics that ensure the intelligibility of the speaker’s words and, therefore, that the message being delivered is properly understood. When undertaking the acoustic conditioning of a classroom, we have to follow the indications given by the Spanish Technical Building Code (CTE), the regulatory framework that sets the basic quality requirements that buildings must meet. The Code’s Basic Document for Noise Protection (DB HR), determines that reverberation time T (s) is calculated using the formula:   T= 0,16 V / A V = volume of the enclosure (m³) A = total sound absorption of the enclosure (m²)   The way to correct reverberation time is to adjust the total sound absorption of the room by using sound-absorbent acoustic panels, such as those manufactured by Spigogroup. In the design of classrooms up to 350 m³, DB HR makes the following recommendations:   Cubic enclosures or enclosures with side-to-side ratios that are whole numbers should be avoided. Distribution of absorbent materials. Options: 1.- Sound-absorbent material throughout the entire ceiling surface, reflective front wall and sound-absorbent rear wall. 2.- Sound-absorbent material at the back ceiling only, leaving a 3 m wide band of reflective material at the front. The front wall should be reflective and the rear wall should have sound-absorbent material with a sound absorption coefficient similar to that of the ceiling. For equal values of total sound absorption of the elements that make up the enclosure, it is more advisable to have one central aisle instead of two side aisles for pupil access.         If you liked this post about acoustic conditioning of classrooms, you may also be interested in:     – What are micro-perforated acoustic panels?
