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 acoustic conditioning of school canteens

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

During these summer days, you might visit large restaurant dining areas or dining rooms in swimming pools where the noise bouncing off large glass windows, in the form of reverberation, makes it impossible to speak without shouting to the person next to you. Imagine this all year round in the dining hall of the school where your children study. This is why the acoustic conditioning of school canteens is so important. The acoustic conditioning of school canteens is essential for creating a healthy and productive environment for students. One of the most effective methods to improve acoustics in these spaces is the installation of acoustic panels, designed to absorb sound, reducing echo and ambient noise. High noise levels can cause stress, fatigue, and concentration difficulties, negatively affecting academic performance and behaviour. By reducing noise, acoustic panels create a calmer and more comfortable environment, facilitating better communication and understanding among students. Additionally, if you choose wood acoustic panels, you can add elegance and a natural touch to the design of buildings that typically feature concrete, glass, and brick. If desired, you can even opt for decorative wood panels with coloured finishes or more playful textures. Finally, the acoustic conditioning of school canteens is crucial for safety. In a noisy dining hall, it is harder for students and staff to hear important announcements or alarm signals, which can be critical in emergency situations. Controlling background noise allows for clearer and more effective communication, enhancing responsiveness to any incidents.         . .

What facilities are accommodated by accessible wood ceilings for town halls?

By Acoustics, Architecture, Construction, Decoración, Decoration

Accessible wood ceilings for town halls are those ceilings that allow the independent, quick and agile installation and disassembly of each panel as many times as desired. This quality is especially useful for integrating and maintaining accessories such as ventilation grilles, fire or security sensors, luminaires, speakers, or to allow access to the plenum. Let's take a closer look at which facilities can accommodate wooden log roofs for town halls.   Lightning The accessible wood ceilings allow the integration of recessed lights, LED panels and indirect lighting systems, and keep the corresponding tangle of wiring hidden in the plenum.   Air conditioning The ceiling of any municipal room houses air ducts, diffusers and ventilation grilles. The accessible ceilings allow easy access for maintenance and allow all tubes and conduits to be hidden, also in the plenum. This integration capacity helps maintain thermal comfort without compromising the aesthetics of the space.   Acoustics and sound systems The accessible wood ceilings can accommodate speakers, microphones and other components, ensuring uniform sound distribution and facilitating access for adjustments and repairs. Furthermore, if we use wood acoustic panels on the accessible ceiling, this will serve to acoustically condition the room.   Electricity and data Accessible ceilings are perfect for housing, in an orderly, accessible and, above all, concealed manner, both electrical and data wiring and access points to Wi-Fi networks.   Sensors, security and surveillance Surveillance cameras, smoke detectors and alarms can also be easily integrated into accessible wood ceilings. Additionally, many public buildings are adopting sensor and automation systems that control lighting, HVAC and other systems, optimizing energy use and improving building functionality             If you liked this post about accessible wood ceilings for town halls, 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
