Noise is the No. 1 employee complaint across office spaces, but many companies are at a loss as to how to tackle it. We understand that privacy and the ability to concentrate are essential for individual focus work as well as private collaboration, and offer a variety of highly effective office acoustic solutions.
People need to be able to hear what they want to hear, when they want to hear it. They also need to know that confidential conversations are protected. These are the principles we keep in mind for all of our acoustical solutions.
There are four key things an office’s acoustic design must do to maximize its effectiveness:
Absorb:
Absorb sounds within the space
Block:
Block sounds between spaces
Cover:
Cover intruding sounds with background sound
Diffuse:
Spread sound energy evenly in the space
Our experts use these building blocks to plan acoustical solutions at the floorplate level. We view room acoustics as balanced when volume, sound spread, and speech intelligibility are in sync.
When construction elements work together to accurately control levels of speech intelligibility and honor privacy, the work environment fosters focus work, improved performance, and, ultimately, innovation. Reach out to King today to learn how we can improve your workspace.
