The traditional way to add sound absorption into a room is to install a suspended acoustic ceiling. However there are many situations where a traditional suspended ceiling can't be used, or where only parts of the ceiling area can be treated with sound absorbing material.
This can be for various reasons. Buildings might have nice details in the ceiling such as moulded plaster work, which you don't want to hide or which even may be protected by law. In other cases the designer wants to expose all the installations, the structure of the roof, or the concrete slab is designed to be exposed to be a part of the thermal regulation of the room. In such instances vertical absorbers can be an alternative, to provide enough sound absorbing material.
Extensive Design Possibilities
Wall absorbers in different colours and finishes together with a surrounding profile system and corner details in matching or different colours, offer a vast amount of possibilities for the interior design of the room. If wall absorbers are used when renovating a room, the preparatory work with the walls is minimized. Wall Panel Edge Overview
Applications
Ecophon offers Wall Panel systems with different types of surfaces and profiles. What system to choose depends on the type of development it is to be installed in. For instance in school corridors a surface with high impact resistance is recommended, while in a prestigious office a surface and a profile with very high aesthetical values can be chosen. In cinemas, theatres, auditoriums and broadcasting studios, the sound absorbers are installed in different ways to control and regulate both the sound emitted from the speakers and reflected sound.
