Acoustic Enhancement for a Busy Reception Room

Project Summary

We were approached by a client who needed assistance in improving the acoustics of their busy reception room. The goal was to create a more comfortable working environment for staff and visitors by reducing noise levels and improving sound quality. Our team conducted a thorough assessment and provided a tailored acoustic solution that met all their requirements.

Scope of Work

• Conducted an on-site inspection and took precise measurements of the reception room.
• Developed an acoustic treatment plan that includes wall and ceiling panels.
• Provided multiple design previews to help the client select the best colour scheme and aesthetic.
• Manufactured, delivered and installed the selected acoustic panels and baffles within three weeks.

Challenge

The main challenge for this project was to design an effective acoustic solution for a reception room that frequently accommodated a high volume of visitors. The space had to be functional, aesthetically pleasing, and comfortable for clients and employees. The reception area also required quick installation to minimise disruption to daily operations.

Solution

To address the client's needs, our engineer conducted a detailed site visit to assess the acoustic challenges of the reception room. Based on the findings, we calculated the necessary acoustic treatment and developed a comprehensive plan including wall and ceiling panels. We presented the client with several design previews, showcasing different colour schemes and layouts to ensure the aesthetic aligned with their vision.

We recommended using Beelive Acoustic Textile Panels in various colours for the walls and Echo Wave Acoustic Hanging Textile Baffles for the ceiling. These products were chosen for their superior sound absorption properties and ability to enhance the room's visual appeal. 

Result

Within less than three weeks, we successfully delivered and installed the chosen acoustic solutions. The installation included both the Beelive Acoustic Textile Panels and Echo Wave Acoustic Hanging Textile Baffles, strategically placed to maximise sound absorption and minimise noise. The result was a noticeable improvement in the acoustic quality of the reception room, creating a more comfortable and inviting space for everyone.

Key Acoustic Considerations for Offices with High Client Traffic

In reception areas that experience high client traffic, controlling noise levels is crucial. Such environments can become noisy and disruptive, negatively impacting both visitors and employees. Effective acoustic treatment helps to reduce echoes, enhance speech clarity, and create a more pleasant atmosphere.

For offices with many clients, it is essential to consider acoustic solutions that address all sound-reflective surfaces. Soft, absorptive materials like textile panels and hanging baffles are highly effective in reducing noise and improving sound quality. By carefully selecting and placing these materials, businesses can ensure their reception areas remain welcoming and conducive to communication.
