We manufacture technical doors, custom-made doors and acoustic doors for health centres, offices, shops, hotels and business premises. But we go much further. Spigogroup is a technical carpentry company with more than 40 years’ experience in comprehensive wood decoration projects. Being manufacturers means we are able to carry out any custom-made wood project; this recent one being a good example. This is the technical carpentry work and acoustic doors for the new Villanueva health centre, built by Aransa in Logroño. We manufactured more than one hundred 38 db flush soundproof doors with 6 mm exterior panelling in Formica F1043 compact with a painted ayous wood edge, stainless steel fittings and lift-off hinges, distributed throughout the different rooms. We also manufactured hinged and sliding doors for interiors with the same finish, chrome handle and fittings; and others for exteriors with finishes in Formica F1040 white and Formica F1549 wood. The technical carpentry work was very extensive and included spectacular circular skylight structures in flexible plywood ready for painting on site, as well as panelling for the auditorium, lift entrance areas and the walls on floor 2 of the building, with fireproof finishes in 6 mm Formica white, and others with 6 mm Formica F1549 maple finishes. We also manufactured SJ model cubicles and lockers in compact Polyrey B015 and cabinets in Formica veneer flush with panelling. We used Urban Deck Duo technological decking for benches, and we also manufactured white melamine boxes, Polutrey compact white worktops, approximately 780 linear metres of F1040 compact skirting board, a flexible plywood handrail and ayous wood handrails for stairs.           If you liked this post about acoustic doors for health centres, you may also be interested in: . – Solid wood slat ceilings for the Finanzauto offices in Chiva – Wood lath and slat cladding in new coworking spaces: the case of Coworking Hiptown in Paris – Interior wood cladding at the new Práxedes Mateo Sagasta Secondary School in Logroño – Technical doors for schools – Instituto Práxedes Mateo Sagasta in Logroño

What is the Lombard Effect or Lombard Reflex?

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

The Lombard Effect, also called the Lombard Reflex, is the involuntary tendency to increase the volume of the voice to make ourselves better understood when we are in a noisy place or with unclear acoustics. It was discovered in 1909 by the French ENT specialist Étienne Lombard and it is the reason why we find ourselves hoarse after a concert or a night out at a discotheque; a consequence of trying to make ourselves understood by shouting in noisy environment. We also suffer from this in very crowded restaurants with bad acoustics, where reverberation prevents effective communication with the people closest to us, which makes us raise our volume, forcing our voice and also contributing to the increasing sound nuisance. And it is the main reason why teachers scold their students in class: “Everyone shut up now, I can’t understand your schoolmate!” This disorder in our way of communicating not only affects the volume, but also the tone and frequency, and causes us to pronounce words longer, with more emphasis on the pronunciation of vowels. Studies reveal that this does not only happen to humans. Frogs and birds in noisy environments have been found to respectively croak and chirp louder. The way to prevent the Lombard Effect is to achieve clear sound environments where the volume and sound quality are appropriate for conversation. In hotels, restaurants, classrooms and offices it is essential to ensure proper acoustic conditioning. This can be achieved with the strategic placement of sound-absorbent acoustic panels, which mitigate those sound alterations that prevent acoustic comfort.   If you liked this post about Lombard Effect, also called the Lombard Reflex, you may also be interested in:   – Office acoustics and work performance – Acoustic panels for supermarkets, malls and shopping centres – 5 Reasons to choose to install acoustic panels – What is soundproofing?
