ACOUSTIC SOLUTIONS

The Acoustic Cloud is a sound-absorbing panel for ceilings and walls to improve acoustic in classrooms and other spaces. The cloud-shape makes the panel a playful element in a kindergarten or school.

Teaching and learning are acoustically demanding activities. Research shows that poor acoustics in classrooms can have a hugely adverse effect on the children who learn in these spaces. In severe cases, students cannot hear up to 70% – making it almost impossible to understand and concentrate on what is being taught. For both the teachers and students, optimal acoustics is essential to stimulate concentration and avoid fatigue, headaches, and other health problems.

Acoustic solutions for kindergartens and schools

Acoustics can be a complicated issue that is often overlooked or not addressed sufficiently when creating a classroom, gym hall, office, or play area. Modern-day kindergartens, nurseries, daycare centers, and schools are designed with more open spaces and harder materials that absorb less sound (e.g. concrete). Walls and ceilings are usually the main sources of bad acoustics since they reflect the sound. To reduce the noise the walls and ceilings can be equipped with acoustic materials that absorb the sound waves. Arte Viva offers acoustic solutions for walls and ceilings: the Acoustic Cloud and Acoustic Panel.

Advice on acoustic solutions

Rule of thumb for coverage: 1/3 of floor space
RT60 reverberation time: the time it takes for the sound pressure level to drop by 60 dB from its original level.
Reverberation time: bearable between 0.3 and 0.6 sec
Most effective in places where the most sound is produced: above a shared dining table or play area, on the wall near the TV. High tones (crying) in the bedroom – solution by hanging panels from the ceiling
