Sound absorption
Sound absorption within a space is different from sound insulation and requires different measures. Please refer to our section on sound insulation for more information.The aim of sound absorption in a space, also known as room acoustic design, is to create an acoustic environment that supports the intended use of the room by influencing sound behaviour through appropriate surface materials and acoustic elements. This may involve effective sound absorption or controlling how sound travels within the space. In room acoustic design, suitable surface materials and acoustic products, as well as their correct quantities, are defined on a room-by-room basis according to the needs of the space.
Today, acoustic design is an integral part of new construction, renovation projects, and spaces being adapted for new purposes. Projects may include corporate offices, hospitals, schools, daycare centres, and residential buildings. Acoustic design is governed by building regulations and standards that are in force at the time.Acoustic design is required in all spaces where people live or work.
From an acoustic perspective, particularly challenging environments include spaces that are either very noisy or extremely quiet. Special spaces such as concert halls and theatres require specialised acoustic design.Through our contractual partners, we also provide acoustic measurements to ensure the correct implementation of acoustic solutions in acoustically demanding spaces. When assessing acoustic needs, we focus on room acoustics and, when necessary, sound insulation.
