INTERIOR DESIGN

Wooden interior with excellent acoustics

1 sierpnia 2013 ·ROCKFON Sp. z o.o.Biuro Handlowe ·reading time: 4 min

One of the erroneous theories that has been circulating on the interior design market for years is the belief that it is impossible to achieve good acoustics in a room where wooden elements or materials imitating its natural colors and textures are used. Contrary to popular opinion, such elements do not have to reflect sounds at all. Suspended ceilings from the Ligna line have a very high sound absorption coefficient, and at the same time allow you to create a warm interior with wooden accents.

Wood gives the interior a warm character, and when combined with other colors or textures, it allows you to create a truly original decor. That is why architects and stylists like to introduce wooden elements or materials imitating wood into interior design projects. A certain barrier to free operation, however, is the belief that such materials have hard surfaces and reflect sounds, and thus negatively affect the acoustics of the room. Nothing more wrong!

Currently, there are materials available on the market whose color and texture refer to wood, and at the same time have very high acoustic parameters. Ceiling panels from the Ligna line are just such a product. The product has a very high sound absorption coefficient αw 0.85. These parameters distinguish Rockfon solutions, as similar modules from other manufacturers available on the market have a much worse sound absorption coefficient.

- This high degree of noise reduction is very important for architects. They cannot afford to design an interior that is visually interesting, but with terrible acoustics. Therefore, when wooden elements are to appear in the room, our solutions are the choice. Designers and investors emphasize that they guarantee noise and reverberation suppression - admits Maria Chudkiewicz, Marketing Manager at Rockfon.

Ligna acoustic modules also result in better speech intelligibility. Which means that they are used not only in commercial interiors with a lot of traffic, such as offices, reception desks, shops, cinemas, but they can also be an element of arrangement and equipment of conference and music rooms. It happens that they are mounted both on the ceiling and on the walls.

Why such excellent acoustic parameters in wood-like modules? The Ligna series, like all other Rockfon products, is made of rock mineral wool, which is characterized by the highest parameters in terms of sound absorption and insulation. From the visible side, the top layer of the non-woven fabric has the texture of wood in three shades of beech: light, classic and dark.

Ligna products can also boast the highest fire resistance class - A1. This also distinguishes Rockfon ceilings from other solutions available on the market, which are usually characterized by a lower fire resistance class such as B-s1 or B-s2.

The Rockfon series in natural wood colors meets the highest technical requirements in terms of acoustics and fire resistance, and at the same time allows you to create an unusual, warm interior.
