Acoustic design

What tasks does acoustic design perform?

Ordering acoustic design of premises, architecture, cinemas, offices and other premises is important to achieve sound isolation, its amplification. In addition, the choice of cladding and planning of the features of the room, equipment is placed, the choice of the necessary elements is made. Basic objectives include:

• Depends on the area, time of reverberation, location. Indicates the legibility of the signal and speech;

• the time of reverberation is affected by materials, the volume of the room, taking into account the necessary data, materials are selected, modeling is carried out;

• Sound pressure. Data on all points are taken into account, it is important to determine the volume;

• Data on the loss of consent. It is indicated in percentage terms.

Be sure to calculate the indicators for the reflected, direct signal, musical brightness. All these parameters are important for creating the necessary conditions for the operation of the equipment and its choice.

What stages is it divided into?

The classrooms and other rooms receive not only the appropriate interior design, there are requirements for sound. In the design, the initial parameters and goals are taken into account. Basic steps:

1. Check the room for the features of the propagation of sound waves.

2. Find areas that need adjustment.

3. Selection of actual finishes to eliminate shortcomings.

4. Formation of a map of the distribution of sound at different frequencies.

It is important to carry out all the steps gradually, without neglecting any of them. This will allow you to get the best design solution possible.

How is acoustic design implemented?

In order to form the right design, a three-dimensional layout is needed, the paper includes a complete list of the necessary compounds and materials. Initially, a consultation is held, then a check of the premises, then the development of individual solutions. Design elements for a home theater will differ from those intended for an office or audience, but usually the project includes the following:

• Design solutions for windows and doors;

décor and finishing, panels made of foam, wood, other materials in the presence of acoustic qualities;

• Engineering systems providing sound protection;

• Choice of curtains;

• Furniture items for the room;

• lamps, sconces, other devices;

• Other design elements.

All of them have an impact on sound comfort, so they are taken into account by specialists to achieve the desired sound performance.

The main indicators that are determined in the calculation

Each building has its own norms and standards, including restaurants, home or commercial cinemas, assembly halls and so on. To make the result perfect, you need to conduct a correct engineering layout, correctly position the sound absorbing materials. Our specialists rely on standards and create a project for the distribution of sound, providing the necessary indicators. Compliance with the norms is important for the comfort of neighbors, ensuring noise insulation and obtaining sound with maximum quality.

applicable EN/IEC and national regulations of the project country, documentation governing the acoustic design work

For cinemas, auditoriums, offices materials are selected individually, each customer receives a contract for the formation of a design project, estimates, cost data, and so on. Calculations are performed according to the applicable EN/IEC and national standards of the project country: for auditoriums and other areas on speech intelligibility, sound insulation, measurement methods, surrounding structures and other items.

Input parameters for calculation

After checking the premises, a transaction is concluded, all the necessary works are indicated in the cost agreement. Their conduct is coordinated with the customer. Additional additions may also be provided at the request of the customer. To create the necessary conditions, the parameters are checked using special equipment.

What cladding materials are suitable for the high-quality implementation of acoustic design

They use sound absorbers and diffusers. Often for this purpose, sound insulation panels are chosen, especially they are relevant for combining a decent appearance and sound isolation. Materials are produced with different texture, color, size, so you can find a solution for any queries. Relevant:

• panels made of wood fiber;

• Perforated drywall;

• glass magnesite;

• Acoustic embossed foam;

• magnesite boards made of fiber-based wood.

Materials should be selected individually, taking into account the characteristics of a particular room. This work should be entrusted to a specialist.

Sound insulation indexes of materials

What documentation will you receive after the acoustic design service?

Separate plans are made for all the nodes: ceiling, floor, mines, ventilation ducts, pipelines and so on. You will also receive: estimates, calculations, master plan, design project, act of acceptance and transfer, contract.

Why should we ask for a favor from us?

Our specialists use modern equipment, act in accordance with standards, have significant experience and take into account all requirements. This ensures high quality of services and efficient solutions.
