Acoustic absorption involves materials absorbing sound energy to prevent reflections. Contemporary office designs often use hard, reflective surfaces, leading to acoustic issues. Specialised absorbent products reduce noise and prevent echoes. We use proprietary software to measure and customise acoustic solutions for each space. Advances in materials offer effective, visually appealing options, allowing functional and aesthetic office designs, without compromise

Blocking in acoustic management involves using barriers like partitions, screens, and cabinets to stop sound energy from traveling freely. High barriers are more effective but less attractive in open offices. Effective barriers have dense cores and absorbent faces. We assess interior design and existing acoustic products to determine necessary barriers. We collaborate with designers for sensitive integration. Prioritizing user communication needs is key to a comfortable acoustic environment through blocking techniques.

Covering or masking involves using a sound masking system with random, unidentifiable background noise from speakers to reduce distractions. It raises ambient sound levels for speech privacy and noise control. The masking sound conceals lower noises and reduces the impact of louder ones. It effectively blocks unwanted conversations and office noise. We use the LogiSon Sound Masking System for its industry-leading performance in our ABCD solution.

Diffusion scatters sound energy to minimize echoes and reflections, creating a more uniform sound distribution compared to flat surface reflections. Hard surfaces can lead to disruptive echoes, affecting speech clarity and intelligibility. Diffusers disperse sound in various directions, reducing intensity and localization. Effective diffusers uniformly alter sound propagation. For further details on our use of diffusion techniques in conjunction with sound absorption, please contact us.
