Office spaces benefit from Lignotrend real wood acoustic panels

In the office, noise is one of the major factors of disturbance and stress. In the worst case, it can even cause health problems. This is why effective acoustic solutions are gaining importance in modern architecture. Ligno Acoustique light acoustic panels positively modify reverberation time, sound distribution, and speech intelligibility in the room. They also benefit interior design thanks to their refined real wood elements. Three profile variants are available: elegant and simply regular slat profiles, irregular "nature" profiles with a natural look, or the new "nature:3D" profile with a particularly lively effect. 

For its new office building, Bombardi Tiefbau GmbH (Titisee-Neustadt) has opted for acoustic panels with the profile nature:3DThe slats of irregular height create a dynamic yet homogeneous three-dimensional effect on the ceiling.

Optimizing the interior acoustics of the new 120 m², two-story building required special planning. The architects from faller³ GmbH (Breitnau) relied on high-quality materials and professional workmanship. They integrated the panels into the ceiling, spaced apart from the walls and beams, and installed a white frieze around the spaces, defined according to a very precise geometry. Inside, the repetition of the profile patterns is indistinguishable. This creates a fluid, organic, and very lively surface design, comparable to a tree with narrow or wide growth rings.

The deliberate removal of knots in the wood creates a contrast. While it accentuates the natural appearance, the final 3D surface has a refined understatement. 

« The final result is very aesthetic and above all offers excellent acoustics. ", confirms Johannes Bombardi. We are very satisfied with the layout and interior acoustics. Concentration and well-being increase in these quiet spaces, thus boosting the motivation and productivity of our employees. »

Good speech intelligibility is not always an advantage

The acoustic effect of the panels is achieved through absorbers made of natural wood fibers, integrated into the elements behind the grooves of the top layer. The absorption values αW reach up to 0,80 and allow the implementation of various interior acoustic objectives. The panels effectively compensate for sound-reflecting materials such as glass, concrete, and ceramic surfaces. 

To prevent noise degradation in the work environment, the designers added textile acoustic screens to complement the suspended ceilings. These vertically suspended screens prevent horizontal sound propagation between work groups. Their warm red color also adds a pleasant touch of color to the room.
