ACOUSTIC TREATMENTS
TEACHING AND LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS:
The way in which sound behaves in a room can have enormous impact on the individuals who use that space on a day-to-day basis to teach, learn and grow.
Assisting students to remain engaged in the classroom and providing teachers and lecturers with a pleasant and effective work environment are two consistent topics of conversation within the media and society. The importance of acoustic treatment within schools is vital to ensure sound levels do not escalate. The consequence of poor acoustics within classrooms, corridors, open learning spaces and gymnasiums can be substantial for productivity, learning and engagement.
Selecting safe solutions to reduce low frequency sounds and ensure speech clarity is vital for a healthy teaching and learning environment, and the design options provided by We Acoustics are endless. Sound-absorbing ceilings and walls can be installed to create a design statement, or to be an invisible solution. Contact us today to discuss your needs.
FACTORY AND INDUSTRIAL:
Factory and Industrial production environments have a typical set up consisting of bare, hard surfaces and office spaces, which tend to closely connect. Production equipment typically generates a large amount of direct sound, and it is important to prevent this sound from being amplified by the premises themselves.
The consequence of these open areas is that sound bounces off these surfaces and spreads though the room. This can generate very high noise levels and echo effects, which in turn can create both safety and health hazards. Industrial work environments often require both alertness and concentration, so taking measures to improve the acoustic environment offers many benefits.
The Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005 is to ensure that workers’ hearing is protected from excessive noise at their place of work; our highly qualified consultants work closely with the client to perform a comprehensive assessment of employee exposure to noise levels and evaluate the specific noise factors, so we are able to advise and install the best possible acoustic solution.
OFFICES AND COMMUNAL WORK SPACES:
Sound affects us in many ways. Disturbing noise in the workplace can cause fatigue, stress and communication problems. In consequence sick leave and high staff turnover can impact negatively on teamwork, company growth and profitability. Feeling able to focus on ones own or partake in a focus group or team meeting is very much determined by the impact of surrounding noises and vibrations within a communal space.
Open plan offices and collaborative layouts can be acoustically challenging. Ensuring noise does not escalate and preventing sound propagation is vital for a productive working day for co-workers and visitors. It is important to design an environment that forms the freedom and flexibility of a vigorous and collaborative workplace, without undermining the primary features of the modern office.
We Acoustics sound solutions are composed to enhance the existing office space, adding colours and textures to spaces to ensure the optimal work environments are created.
BARS, RESTAURANTS AND LIFESTYLE VENUES:
Bars and restaurants are often full of conversation, noise clutter and everyday sounds. Hard flat surfaces, such as timber floors, tables, and large plastered walls reflect sound and therefore increase and amplify noise levels within the restaurant. Controlling and maintaining the levels of these noises using acoustic sound absorption creates a better work environment for staff, maximizes the consumers experience and will help to enhance every moment of the customers evening.
The ongoing trend of the open plan kitchen and dining space creates a new set of concerns for restaurant owners and customers alike.
We Acoustics have a wide range of acoustic decorative solutions, which come in a variety of colours, so we can guarantee one will be ideal for soundproofing your restaurant and will dramatically reduce the reverberant field and improve communication for both the patrons and employees.
