Acoustic retrofit for the office of Raptus AG
More calm, new design
A solid masonry and concrete building, sparse, modern furnishings - this is the initial state of the premises of this agency. Acoustically problematic: The desired openness in the open-plan offices is counteracted by noise levels that build up on reverberant surfaces - with disadvantages for the employees' ability to concentrate on their work. Another neuralgic point were the meeting rooms, where the noisy background noise precluded efficient communication and reduced the quality of stay.
Configuration overview
Components used
LIGNO® Acoustic light | Ceiling cladding
Product code: LIGNO® Acoustic light 3S_33_a70g_625-12-4_WTL_gb_b0Wood type
Various wood species are available for the visible layer. For quality reasons, individual wood species cannot be configured for all profiles; for technical reasons, surface treatments are excluded for some wood species.Wood type
_WTL Silver fir knotless, patterned
Profile
The visible layer is profiled with joints. The code for profiling indicates in millimetres: Element width, strip width (rounded, from/to if applicable) and joint width (rounded) as well as a letter identification for variants, e.g. with chamfered strip edges or with additional height gradation.
Note: Some profiles indirectly cause exclusions for other configuration options.Profile
_625-12-4 Slat profile
Structure
The face is subjected to a brushing _gb as standard, which produces a stronger or weaker structure depending on the type of wood and makes the surface less sensitive to scratches. Alternatively, a smooth sanding _gs can be carried out, or on request a bandsaw cut _grimitated.Structure
_gb Brushed
Treatment
Depending on the type of wood, the optional application of a surface treatment is possible ex works. Individual colour finishes are always sampled for coordination. For elements in individual lengths, colour treatment is limited to max. 5 m length.Treatment
_b0 Untreated
Room acoustics
If the soffit of the element is to have a good sound-absorbing effect, the penultimate layer is configured as absorber _a50g. Otherwise, this layer is configured as a solid wood layer _a0.Room acoustics
_a70g 70 % Absorber
