Improve your workplace acoustics in 5 silent steps.

1. Partition walls

An open-plan office allows for great dynamics in the workplace, but the sense of privacy and tranquility can sometimes suffer as a result. Partition walls can offer a solution. If these partitioning elements are made of acoustic materials, they will absorb sound.

2. Grouping noise sources

Printers, scanners, and other devices are sources of disruptive noise in the office. Centralize them in one location, preferably in a closed but well-ventilated room. Likewise, the coffee machine does not belong in the middle of an office space.

3. Improving acoustics through floor coverings

While hard floors are easy to maintain, they are not the best choice for an office environment. A concrete floor reflects sound waves and causes reverb and noise pollution. Acoustic floor coverings, on the other hand, absorb sound so that everyone can work in peace. Carpet, needle felt, marmoleum, and linoleum keep acoustic disturbances to a minimum and immediately make the office much more pleasant.

4. Acoustic sliding door cabinets

Aluminum cabinets also contribute to poor office acoustics. However, there are practical and ergonomic storage furniture options that do absorb sound. Thanks to the clever choice of materials and small perforations in the sliding doors, the cabinets fully absorb the noise. Furthermore, sliding door cabinets are useful as partition walls and are aesthetically perfectly sound.

5. Cozy and aesthetic

Poor acoustics is a technical problem that has a direct impact on the productivity of your employees and the office atmosphere. With a selection of plants, decoration, and sound-absorbing panels, you can address both acoustics and coziness simultaneously. Small meeting areas or meeting bubbles achieve the same effect.
