How to carry out wood acoustic panel maintenance

By Acoustics, Architecture, Construction, Decoración, Decoration

Although wood acoustic panel maintenance is a relatively simple task, it is important to carry it out so that both their sound absorption and aspect remain the same. In this respects, there are two different moments: panel maintenance before installation (of interest to fitters and installers) and their maintenance once they have been installed in their final location:   Wood acoustic panel maintenance before installation. The place where wood acosutic panels are kept should be kept clean, dry and well ventilated. It is essential that panels be protected from humidity and rain, as water absorption can cause deformation. We therefore recommend that the material be unpacked at the time of installation and that the panels be kept for 24 to 48 hours at their final destination before being installed, in order to ensure that they adapt to the environment. Please remember that the original packaging does not protect the material from rain, moisture and impact and that no loads should be placed on top of the material. The place where the panels are installed should be under a roof and not have more than 60% humidity.   Wood acoustic panel maintenance after installation. Dust and dirt on the surface of the panels can be removed using a damp cloth. Never use abrasives or products containing silicone. Any residual moisture on the surface should be thoroughly dried after cleaning to prevent damage. It is imperative that the structure of the panel is not damaged during cleaning.     .

Which decorative wood panels are sound-absorbent and which are not?

By Acoustics, Acústica, Architecture, Arquitectura, Construcción, Construction, Decoración, Decoración, Decoration

Decorative wood panels are a popular choice in interior design, not only for their aesthetic appeal, but also for their acoustic properties. However, it is important to understand that not all wood panels are sound-absorbent, and their ability to improve acoustics depends on their design and composition. Sound-absorbent decorative wood panels Sound-absorbent panels are specifically designed to improve sound quality by enabling acoustic conditioning. They are made of materials that absorb sound waves, preventing them from being reflected and helping to control acoustic reverberation, defined as the time lapse from the moment when a sound source stops emitting sound until the energy reaching the receiver decreases by 60 dB. These panels are usually composed of a combination of wood and absorbent materials, such as the 0.25 mm sound-absorbent acoustic veil attached to the back of Spigoacustic and Spigotec wood acoustic panels. These panels have grooves or perforations on the surface of the wood, allowing sound to penetrate and be absorbed by the underlying material. Depending on the percentage of perforated surface, they will have greater or lesser sound absorption. Finally, the visible surface of the panel has an aesthetic finish that can range from varnished natural wood to different melamine, lacquer and HPL options.   NON sound-absorbent decorative wood panels On the other hand, NON sound-absorbent decorative wood panels are designed only for aesthetic purposes and do not provide an acoustic improvement to the room where they are installed. These panels are usually made of wood without perforations or additional sound-absorbing materials.

The importance of acoustics in coliving or cohousing

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

Good acoustics in coliving or cohousing improves the quality of life of the residents, but where and how do acoustics affect this new type of housing? Coliving or cohousing is a form of shared housing in which tenants have a private area consisting of a separate bedroom, usually with a bathroom and kitchen, and common spaces for shared use such as a kitchen, dining room, coworking spaces, library, gym, multimedia rooms, swimming pool, sports facilities or large living rooms. The acoustic conditioning of these rooms ensures common spaces with good acoustic comfort, promoting coexistence and well-being. One of the most attractive and functional solutions to address the improvement of acoustics in coliving or cohousing is the installation of wood acoustic panels. These panels are designed to effectively absorb and diffuse sound, thereby reducing reverberation and unwanted noise. Wood is an excellent material for this, as it is aesthetically pleasing and blends well into most interior designs. Many coliving or cohousing projects are already incorporating wood acoustic panels from the Spigoacustic, Spigotec or Spigoline families in the design of their common areas. The ecological and sustainable origin of the wood from which they are made, the warmth and elegance they bring to any interior design and the guarantee of being able to offer healthy spaces from the point of view of acoustics are key factors in making this decision.

Definition of acoustic conditioning and soundproofing, what is the difference?

By Acoustics, Architecture, Construction No Comments

The definition of acoustic conditioning and the definition of soundproofing explain the great difference between the two terms, which are often confused. Acoustic conditioning is the set of actions that we carry out in a room to control the annoying sound imbalances produced by reverberation that hinder proper musical hearing and the intelligibility of messages, speeches and conversations. Reverberation is the permanence of sound beyond the time required to properly hear and understand a message. 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. Soundproofing, on the other hand, is an action by which we sound insulate a space from its surroundings, thereby preventing external noises (traffic, machinery, environment, etc.) from reaching the interior and also preventing the sound produced in the interior from reaching adjoining spaces or the exterior of the building. Thus, while acoustic conditioning only affects and relates to the interior of a room and the quality of sound it provides, soundproofing is more concerned with the relationship of the room to the outside and the level of noise and sound transmitted between the exterior and interior (and vice versa). To undertake acoustic conditioning, acoustic panels, like those offered by Spigogroup, which correct the effects of reverberation, are used. Soundproofing, on the other hand, requires sound insulating materials that prevent sound transmission between rooms and the outside.       If you liked this post about definition of acoustic conditioning, you may also be interested in:   – Request a quotation for acoustic panels and wood panelling – Interior design of hotels: the importance of acoustics in hotel reception areas – 24 articles on wood acoustic panels and the projects where they are used – Wood slat acoustic panels for increased acoustic comfort
