Sound-absorbing solutions for all hygiene demands A SOUND EFFECT ON PEOPLE

Ensuring the required level of purity and cleanliness In hospitals and other healthcare facilities, a good sound environment is crucial for saving lives as well as rest and recovery. In large industrial premises, a combination of hard, reflective surfaces and loud machines often necessitates the use of hearing protection. However, hearing protection makes it hard to hear alarms, while also making communication almost impossible. In swimming pool areas, the high noise levels don’t just take some of the fun away, but also make it tough for lifeguards to identify potentially serious incidents. A...

Sound strength is a measure of the loudness of all sounds that are present in a space. It is expressed in decibels (dB). A high sound strength results in people having to raise their voices to be heard above all the surrounding noise. To lower the sound levels, it is important to use sound absorbers of the highest quality. Sound propagation Sound propagation is defined as how much the sound level in a room decreases by distance, measured in decibel per distance doubling. Stopping sound from spreading and making sound levels decrease faster are key aspects of creating good room acoustic comfort....

Environmental footprint In order to get a transparent and scientific view of a product’s environmental impact, Ecophon performs a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for all products. The assessment takes every step of the product’s life into account, from the harvesting of raw materials to production and end of life. Life Cycle Assessments of Ecophon products are conducted in line with ISO 14040 and give a fully transparent overview of our environmental impact. The results are presented in standardised documents called Environmental Product Declarations (EPD). An EPD is a type III environmental declaration....
