How to insulate the character of rooms

Wooden elements or materials imitating natural colors and textures of wood have so far been used in private homes. Why? The main reason is that wood is difficult to keep clean and deteriorates quickly. However, the friendly character of wood can also be introduced in public interiors. The new line of Ligna suspended ceilings, stylized as wood, warms the interior design, improves its acoustics and improves safety.

The arrangement of spaces in which many people work or the traffic is high is governed by its own laws. Not all natural materials can be used in them. While the use of damage-resistant natural stone is quite common, e.g. on floors and walls in office buildings, hotels or offices, wood is rarely used. It is prone to deterioration and difficult to care for. And this, in turn, means that building owners do not want to install wooden elements in publicly accessible interiors. As a result, public spaces are often perceived as soulless and unfriendly to users.

Meanwhile, nothing warms up the atmosphere of a room as much as wood. Until recently, however, the visions of architects lost to the functionality imposed by the investors of the buildings. However, there are materials on the market that combine these two requirements. For example, the new suspended ceilings from the Ligna series are stylized to look like wood. This is a solution that is used wherever it is important to create a friendly interior and give it a unique look.

The introduction of a line in wood shades by Rockfon is another response of the company to the needs of architects looking for original ceiling solutions that combine high technical parameters with design. The use of a non-woven surface imitating wood in suspended ceilings is a fairly new solution, but more and more often used by designers who perceive the ceiling as an element of interior design.

Appearance is not everything

Above all, however, the combination of design with high technical parameters means that Ligna ceiling panels can be successfully installed in public spaces. The product has the highest sound absorption class (class A, coefficient αw 0.9). Therefore, it increases the acoustics of the interior: it reduces noise and reverberation, and also causes better speech understanding, which is extremely important in interiors where many people work or stay. The creation of appropriate acoustic conditions means that Ligna modules can also be an element of the arrangement and equipment of conference rooms. It happens that they are mounted not only on the ceiling, but also on the walls.

The safety aspect is equally important. Rockfon ceilings are made of stone wool, which is non-combustible. In addition, this material does not contain any nutrients, so it is resistant to the growth of harmful microorganisms. Hygiene and fire protection parameters are equally important criteria when selecting materials for public spaces. The Ligna series meets these requirements,
and at the same time allows you to create an unusual, warm interior.
