Acoustic room dividers in open-plan offices
In the huge 973m² office space of Azena in Eindhoven, staff experienced a lot of reverberation. After acoustic measurement, we came up with a great solution.
Azena approached our parent company EASY Noise Control because of the reverberation problem, after which our acoustic specialist Ruben carried out an on-site reverberation time measurement. The measurement indeed revealed that there was a long reverberation time. This was partly driven by the many hard, industrial materials. This is disastrous for acoustics and therefore for quietness and speech intelligibility.
Together with the client, Ruben came up with an effective but also very charming solution: hanging several room dividers, from the EASYfelt Divide collection. The Divide is a visual and sound-absorbing room divider. The various designs are cut from 9 mm pet felt, which is largely made from recycled plastic bottles. Adjustable cable hangers make it easy to hang the panels from the ceiling.
The addition of the acoustic screens creates a playful result and a clear effect on the acoustics in the large room.
Customer quote: "Everything was installed just fine, it also looks nice. The results are already noticeable by the staff".
