Work place acoustic & ceiling

Importance of Workplace productivity:

Employee distraction has been surveyed by dozens of organizations. Roughly 70 percent of all employees in an open work areas report that the biggest impact on their productivity is the conversations of their co-workers. Once distracted, error rates increase as work is resumed. As we plan for new workplaces and for modifications to existing workplaces, there are a few simple acoustical concepts that can help ensure a better outcome for the employee’s satisfaction and the success of the enterprise.

Improving the Workplace productivity:

 A well-designed acoustical workplace will feel comfortable to employees. Adding acoustically absorptive materials improves this condition. Acoustical ceilings, acoustical wall panels and carpet are a few to name. Acoustical ceilings and acoustical wall panels are good options to overcome the office noise. It is the responsibility of the workplace design team to strategically add absorptive materials in appropriate places. These materials are not only an effective way to reduce reflective noise but to provide interesting looks that can augment the look of the space. A hanging cloud above a talkative group is good as is placement on nearby walls.

How to select the best acoustic option:

When choosing the materials, make sure that they have a high Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC). The NRC rating indicates the ability of a material to absorb sound. Good workplace acoustics are like magic pills. Office working areas need to have an optimum value of reverberation time.
