Treating Noise
Elegantly

Acoustica is an acoustic panel brand equipped with certificates from world-class accredited labs in The United States of America.

Acoustica products are made in Dubai, United Arab Emirates using the best raw materials in the industry and the latest most advanced production lines. Acoustica production lines can produce unlimited length/height of panels. The only limitation in height is raw boards standard industry available sizes.

The fully automated production process ensures the highest product accuracy and performance outputs.

The quality of components with the latest technology in manufacturing contribute to the highest performance indicators Acoustica products offer.

Except for extremely limited cases, acoustic panels MUST NOT be purchased in standard sizes. The right and ideal way is to get panels cut to their final size in which they will be installed on site with installation provision considered during the manufacturing of panels according to the preferred installation method. Cut-to-Size boards must account for profiled and finished edges for easy and quick installation without the need for alignment of each board. Once the first board in an elevation is aligned, the rest of boards fall in the right place easily, accurately, and firmly.

Acoustica addresses the common issues of standard sizes and long lead times for projects located in the region (mainly the GCC) by producing its products in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Acoustica offers its panels in custom sizes and in relatively short lead times to its customers in the region with the possibility to alter or modify sizes on short notice should a need suddenly arises.

Reverberation

Understanding
Reverberation

Reverberation Time is the time a sound wave needs to decay, dissipate, die or in more scientific way, to drop by 60dB. Room volume, type and quantity of materials or finishes in this room determine the RT (Reverberation Time) of the room. Targeted Reverberation Time (RT) is based on the room intended use. Long Reverberation Time (RT) is one of the most serious issues than need be addressed and treated.

Acoustic panels are the most practical and the most preferred method in RT treatment. Acoustic panels efficacy is measured by how much sound energy panels can absorb and that is measured by panels absorption coefficient or NRC (Noise Reduction Coefficient) which normally is identified as a number from 0 to 1.  NRC=1 being 100% absorption and NRC=0 being no absorption at all or total reflection of sound wave.

 

NRC of acoustic panels and acoustic materials used in a space, is crucial factor in acoustic treatment design. To maximise efficacy of acoustic panels, acoustic panels with high NRC must be chosen.

Normally, selection of acoustic panel types and look for a project, largely depends on design aesthetic objectives and targeted RT. Quantity or square area of acoustic panels needed for a project is determined by the selected panels NRC and the targeted RT.

“Simply, the higher the NRC the smaller the square area/quantity of acoustic panels needed and vice versa”

Acoustic panels may be the most important element in auditoriums, theatres, schools, universities, public facilities, halls, and event venues. The clarity of speech and/or music is, without doubt, the decisive factor in the success of architectural design of spaces that are designed for speeches, lectures, and musical events. Noise can dramatically undermine the quality of interior architecture and design.

The vital role of acoustics in
Auditoriums, theatres, multi-function halls

An auditorium without reverberation control is just waste of space. It is hardly possible in auditoriums to hear and understand words of speech when sound waves keep bouncing off ceiling, walls ,floor and possibly off other elements in the place.

Being spaces dedicated for delivery of speech, musical or theatrical performances, sound quality is of top importance in auditoriums and theatres.

Successful Interior architecture and/or interior design in spaces, where quality and clarity of sound are of absolute importance, goes hand in hand with successful reverberation control. Acoustic treatment by using acoustic panels is key.

Factors affecting acoustics:

Factors Affecting
Acoustics:

Area dimensions/volume:

Dimensions of a room affect sound quality. Large spaces are more suited for music than small ones.

Audience in small rooms can receive clearer sound than those in large spaces.

Larger spaces contribute to longer reverberation time and that makes it extremely difficult to understand speech.

Reverberation control by using sound absorbing acoustic panels is the solution.

  • Area Shape:

Irregular shapes within interiors of buildings helps diffuse sound waves. Straights elevations do not.

Flat surfaces reflect sound waves causing longer reverberation time affecting sound quality. Most auditoriums and theatres are of similarly rectangular or fan-shaped without many or any projected elements in various shapes for capacity purpose which adds on to the importance of reverberation/noise treatment or control by using sound absorbing acoustic panels and doors with high STC rating to keep noise from coming inside the hall from outside corridors, pathways, and other halls.

  • Materials used:

Reverberation occurs when sound waves bounce off various surfaces. Hard non-porous surfaces worsen the situation while porous and sound absorbing materials/panels contribute to acoustically healthier and better environment.

For instance, Glass is commonly and extensively used in modern buildings and that adds on to noisier indoors and outdoors . Glass NRC is 0.00 so the more glass surfaces there is, the longer reverberation time. Rooms with large reflective surfaces like glass partitions suffer from long reverberation time and the need to reverberation control becomes more urging.

Like glass, marble, stone, granite, and ceramic floors are also highly reflective surfaces. Dry walls and panels are not much better as they hardly have an absorption coefficient of 0.15 and that means surfaces like dry walls and various decorative panels reflect the sound waves without absorbing almost any of its energy.

 

  • Targeted Use or Purpose:

Multi-function halls and auditoriums like those in schools and universities require good attention to the purpose of the place. These halls/auditoriums are normally used for different types of activities from sport to music to lectures and ceremonial events. Reverberation time in case of a musical event must be longer than reverberation time when speeches are thrown. Similarly, Rock music is different from piano or violin music concerts. A reverberation control by using sound absorbing acoustic panels and soundproofing in doors and windows must take into account the different types of activities that may take place in the same room, hall or auditorium.

  • Doors and other openings or hallways:

Noise travelling through doors and other openings must be prevented from travelling in from other areas and out from the same room/hall.  Doors with adequate STC rating must be used to control sound travel through them. The more noise bleeds in, the more noise in the space and the less quality of speech and sound.

  • White noise:

Sound in the background coming from HVAC systems does not normally bother us, but it remains noise nevertheless especially when AC is turned on. Thankfully, solutions like mufflers and duct liners are used to prevent noise bleeding into indoor spaces but in many cases, blowers and blowing air still make disturbing noises especially in old systems. Being exposed to white noise for long hours will undermine our performance and productivity.

There is always noise in the background in offices with printers and copiers. Open plan offices are known for different types of noise in the background, from talks to phone rings to printers, copiers and other types of noise that may exist in this type of office. All studies prove that humans can operate productively for short time with constant noise in the background before their productivity starts to plummet to concerning levels affecting their work outcome. Open office spaces must always consider reverberation control by using sound absorbing acoustic panels and desk acoustic partitions to maintain consistency of performance of employees and workers.

There are multiple type of sound absorbing products such as ceiling clouds and baffles, stretch fabric acoustic panels and many wooden decorative acoustic panels.

Treatment

Acoustic treatment:

Understanding the problem is the first steps towards solving it. 3 mains words to treat noise, Absorption, Diffusion, and Soundproofing.

  • Acoustic panels are effective way in absorption of sound waves energy and dissipating reverberation.
  • Diffusing sound waves by using sound diffusers and sound absorbing acoustic panels in corners is effective in reverberation treatment.
  • Blocking sound waves from travelling through doors and windows is essential in keeping noise from bleeding through doors and windows inside spaces where noise or reverberation is treated.

 

  • Common Spaces that need noise treatment and the use of acoustic panels:

    Auditoriums
    Theatres
    Classrooms
    Multi-purpose halls
    Ballrooms.
    Airports.
    Conference rooms.
    Worship building
    Sports courts
    Court Houses
    Restaurants
    Tower and building lobbies.
    Public facilities
    Building Corridors
    Open offices

    Offices where the sanctity of speech or conversation must be maintained.
