Acoustic comfort I suoni sono formati da onde che tendono ad essere riflesse dalle superfici rigide con limitato potere assorbente, quali per esempio il cemento, il marmo o il vetro. In ambienti realizzati con queste tipologie di materiali si possono generare echi e riverberi, spesso molto fastidiosi, che non consentono di ascoltare e dialogare in maniera confortevole. I materiali fonoassorbenti nascono dall’esigenza di migliorare l’acustica in questi ambienti. Le caratteristiche dei prodotti fonoassorbenti tradizionali tendono a manifestare la capacità di assorbire meno le basse frequenze (sotto...

Nella progettazione dei pannelli e dei tessuti ci si è posti l’obiettivo di ottenere la totale riciclabilità del prodotto a fine vita. Per questo motivo i pannelli sono realizzati interamente in poliestere, quindi monomaterici e riciclabili al 100% senza necessità di dover separare il tessuto esterno dal materiale fonoassorbente interno. Anche tutta la componentistica in plastica o in metallo è monomaterica e facilmente disassemblabile e riciclabile al 100%. Il materiale fonoassorbente interno dei pannelli è prodotto con materiale riciclato fino al 30%. I pannelli e i tessuti non contengono feltri...
