Normal office screen panels have no acoustic value at or below 1200mm in height .

Furniture panels need to absorb ambient sound and block transmission between workstations . There are a variety of methods used in the construction of these panels to achieve the correct noise reduction coefficient ( NRC) of at least .75 .

Acoustic Boards and Panels

Meet you at the Corner - Sound .

Acoustic panels or boards can be wall mounted or suspended from a ceiling .

Carpeting was not seen as effective as a sound absorbing material in terms of acoustics .

The reason being that the frequencies absorbed are higher than the range of human speech .

Now there are a wide range of acoustical carpets available to meet the ever demanding challenges of modern environments .

Acoustical privacy : The attenuation of sound between neighbouring workstations in an open plan office is typically much less than that potentially available beween closed plan offices .

Nevertheless , a degree of acoustical privacy can be achieved if component selection and interaction are understood . A successful open plan office is the result of careful co ordination of several components , some of which are ceiling , wall treatments , furniture and furnishings and flooring .

Acoustics at ceiling level .

CEILINGS : The ceiling is the primary acoustical treatment in any office .

Its acoustic function is to absorb sounds and reduce the reflection of sounds back down into office space .

This helps reduce the distance over which noises and conversations can be heard .

In order of acoustic performance , from best to worst , ceiling types usually rank as follows ; fibreglass tile , mineral tile , perforated metal tile , no ceiling , solid metal tile , and drywall . Generally there is a significant decline in acoustic performance with any of the last four ceiling types .

There are mineral and perforated metal products available which demonstrate better than average NRC ratings .

Since the ceiling is the key acoustic element in the office , failure to use a ceiling tile will have a dramatic impact on the effectiveness of the space .

Also any break in the ceiling tile will result in poor acoustic control .

FURNITURE AND PANELS : The height of partitions is acoustically significant . Offices with partitions below a height of 1250mm provide essentially the same acoustic benefits as those with no partitions systems . (from one workstation to another ) .

Partition heights above 1750mm offer decreasing acoustic benefits relative to their costs .

The absorbtion of partition systems is measured according to the Sound Transmission Criteria ( STC ) .

It is important to minimize the number and size of reflective surfaces .

Glass , metal and drywall components will increase the reflection of noise and conversation and cause them to be heard over a greater distance .

Minimize openings between , under and around furniture and panels to minimize sound paths .

LIGHTING : Acoustically lighting will increase the reflectivity of the ceiling . There a number of lighting strategies which can provide excellent lighting whislt maintaining proper acoustics .

PHYSICAL ACOUSTIC BARRIERS .

Physical acoustic barriers include plenum barriers , permanent walls , absorptive materials above the ceiling tiles , and doors .

LAYOUT and DESIGN : Creative design can affect the proximity of noise sources to office occupants and can affect the liklihood that noises will travel or be reflected from source to the listener .

LESS NOISE, BETTER LIFE...
