Acoustic Improvement With New Concept
In new buildings echoing sounds is always an issue and the architects has to think about putting either roof plates or panels up that improves the acoustics in the room.
A new Danish company has a new solution to this problem. The company is called www.sumopix.com and they have a different and innovative approach to this challenge. They work with huge photos on canvas and they let the wooden frames improve the acoustics in the room. By covering the pictures with sound stopping material they can make beautiful and huge sound panels which you would never guess are put there to work with the acoustics. Older companies working with this area tend to focus primarely if not only on the acoustic effect of the panels and roofs but today the aestetic factor plays a bigger role for many people as they get more money on their hands.
When working with acoustics it is often an issue that carpets and curtains no longer has its place in modern buildings. Instead there are hard floors and walls and a lot of glass facades and windows. Therefore it is an increasingly important factor to improve the acoustics Especially in kinder gardens schools and institutions this is important because children tend to make a lot of noise when they are gathered in groups. www.sumopix.com foto p lrred as it is called in Danish has made a gallery of photos with extra high resolution that these institutions can pick from when they want to use this product. In many institutions the employees get problems with their hearing and they get tinnitus in the worst cases so a strong focus is needed according to themselves.
