Improve the acoustics at the office
Every office is different which means different acoustic issues occur at every location. To improve the work environment, attention has to be paid to:
- Transfer of noise between workplaces mutually;
- Reflection of sound through the ceiling;
- Environmental noise.
Advantages of good office acoustics
Four benefits
Poor acoustics can cause annoying reverberation and uncomfortable sound levels. By installing acoustic solutions, it can provide the following benefits, among others:
Productive and healthy workplace
A good acoustic environment results in less tiredness, less stress and ultimately less absence due to illness and therefore more efficiency.
Speech privacy
By better shielding sound with acoustic barriers (desk screens, dividers), sound can spread less easily. As a result, employees experience less direct nuisance from each other.
Reduced noise level
By adding a good acoustic ceiling, the sound level in the room is reduced and can carry sound less far. This ensures a better sound quality and sound experience.
Speech intelligibility
Good acoustics make it easier to understand each other and people at the same table can communicate without raising their voices.
Improve office acoustics
A lot of research has been done on the influence of sound on people.
It influences people's mood, productivity and well-being. Our memory works better in quiet spaces, and our focus lasts longer. With too many distractions we can't perform complex tasks properly.
Acoustics are an important pillar for the health of your office building, and not without good reason. An investment in acoustics pays off. Good acoustics are important for creating a comfortable working environment.
When improving the sound quality, attention is paid to counteracting annoying reverberation. Ideally we will achieve comfortable noise levels. In addition, we want to reduce sound transmissions between work spaces.

Rest, well-being & productivity
Good acoustics in the office are important for good speech intelligibility, well-being and productivity. To determine the acoustic quality of your office building, the reverberation time is of importance. The reverberation time always says everything about the speech intelligibility.
We will measure the reverberation time for you to gain a good insight into the solution. With a reverberation time that is too long, you usually need to add absorbent solutions.
A reverberation time that is too short also occurs. In this case, the speech privacy between colleagues is often a concern. Did you know it takes someone about 10 minutes to regain focus after a disturbance?
In this case you should think of placing dividers, screens and baffles. More scattering will occur in this way. In addition, this leads to better blocking of the direct sound. This is the way for good office acoustics.
Design and durability
Interior and design play an important role in offices.
An office is more than just a place to work. It is part of internal and external branding.
Poor acoustics in the office have a negative influence on the perception of the building. This alone is a reason to deal with the acoustics.
When considering the noise reduction in the office, we will take the aesthetics and interior of your office into consideration. We have a wide range of acoustic design panels, lighting and furniture. In addition, we offer the service to think along in the graphic design and material and fabric choice.
Sustainability and circularity are items we can no longer ignore. We will think along with you in this aspect, on a case-by-case basis. We offer different products with a low impact on the environment and which are 100% recyclable.
