Adversities with acoustics in your workspace?

We can help you.

You should keep in mind that the sound spreads from the outside to the inside and vice versa. For a good acoustic insulation, the first step is to identify the source of the noise, in order to know where and how to act.

But… and how to solve the problem, after the diagnosis?

Some suggestions and materials that may help:

• Plasterboard – the combination of plasterboard and rockwool or glasswool may be effective in insulating sound and preventing it from passing through.
• Mineral wool – insulation material used in walls, doors and ceiling´s.
• Windows – with a thicker and heavier stopper, they are perfect for insulating all the sounds that come from outside.
• Doors – did you know that wood is a natural acoustic insulating material? With a well insulated interior and with sealants that don’t let the sound through, they might be the solution you’re looking for.
• Air ducts – independent air ducts prevent the sound from passing from one room to another.

Listen to the difference! Acústica21.

The productivity at work is a fundamental factor to the economy and sustainability of the companies.

There is the need to keep the individuals that work in a team motivated at the workspace where they are integrated. In individual rooms, it is easier to focus because there is no noise influencing the productivity. However, in workspaces with more than two workers, it is important to invest in the acoustic treatment to increase comfort and the performance, ensuring a better communication among each team member.

Have you ever thought how the acoustics of the workspace may influence the productivity of your team?

Situations such as cross talks, answering phone calls at the same time and in the same room, ventilation systems, printers and traffic noise lead to a loss of the ability to perform some tasks in a productive way. Other situations that originate a decrease or loss of productivity? Here.

Acoustics and design are the starting point to solve these questions.

Acoustics shall be present since the moment you start planning a work and not in the final stage (despite being possible to solve some situations by that time as well). It is a long-term investment that will guarantee a comfortable, functional and more productive work environment.

Architectural acoustics responds to the comfort, which is an important factor to the identity of the business area. Usually when partitions are used to divide rooms, the acoustic performance is more satisfactory.
