Spaces you want to live in
Good room acoustics are important and necessary for creating spaces you really enjoy spending time in. This applies at home, at work, at school or in restaurants.
If room acoustics are not optimal, speech comprehension is impaired, music is perceived as being unclear, and a large proportion of the sounds in the room will be perceived as noise. Naturally, this will have an impact on your comfort and your well-being. Therefore it is important to be aware of good room acoustics.
We need to feel comfortable wherever we are, regardless of whether this is at home, at work or dining out.

How do I improve the acoustics in my spaces?
Thats why we are here!
We are all striving for pleasant sound rather than noise. This is where it is important to focus on achieving the right reverberation time, which is the time it takes for sound to abate in a room. When parts of the sound are absorbed, it provides a shorter reverberation time, which means acoustics are improved and higher speech intelligibility is achieved.
Why acoustic Panels?
In addition to being absorbent, acoustic panels also have a diffusing effect. Diffusers can split the sound waves when the sound is reflected, making the sound more evenly distributed throughout the room. This is perceived by the human ear as more pleasant room acoustics.
Our product selection is perfect for any space, and we offer solutions for all acoustic sound concerns, with the Pro+ panel offering the best installation and acoustic dampening.
Reflection
When a sound wave is transmitted against a hard surface, such as a brick wall, it is reflected 1:1. These are not optimal conditions for good and pleasant room acoustics.
Basic Wood Panels
Basic wood panels are not just for decoration. The panel acts as a diffuser and has a diffusing effect. That is, sound waves are divided into smaller sound waves. This is perceived as more optimal acoustics.
Pro+ Wood Panels
Pro+ not only has a diffusing effect, but also features significant absorbency. The panel acts as a good absorbent in the entire frequency range.
Case Study
As a simple example concerning choosing a ceiling, let us look at an average kitchen/family room. The following are the various options in relation to achieving the recommended reverberation time.
The room:
Kitchen/living room 50m2 – ceiling height of 3.5 metres – tiled floor – brick walls.
Recommended reverberation time: 0.6 sec.
Ceiling solutions: Construction with 45 mm insulation mounted behind the ceiling type. See what reverberation time the different ceiling variants achieve:
I-Wood Pro+: 0.6 sec.
Plaster incl. 40% perforated boards: 1 sec.
Fibre concrete: 0.6 sec.
Concrete: 1.5 sec.
