MOVING DESIGNS, THE MULTI USE CONCEPT ~ SLIDING FOLDING PARTITION

Classrooms of the Future

Acoustic partitions can be used in a number of ways in educational facilities. One of the primary objectives for using acoustic partitions is to maximise flexibility in order to meet both present and future needs. Considerations include possible uses in classrooms, school halls, libraries, meeting rooms or any space that requires adaptations.

In large universities the application of acoustic partitions can be endless. Designated learning, living spaces, research areas, laboratories, administrative offices and collaborative spaces can benefit from the adaptability and functionality that acoustic partitions offer.

Open sections in libraries may be divided into study rooms. Meeting rooms for group use, both in educational buildings and in dorms, can be separated from common rooms.

Acoustic partitions are a cost-effective and highly flexible option that lends itself well to the objectives and challenges found in vibrant educational institutions. Building planners of both small schools and universities may be confident that, even as present needs are met, their facilities are able to adapt to the future demands of education as well.

 

Specifying a dB rating

When specifying an acoustic partition determining the dB rating is a key consideration for the soundproofing the product needs to achieve.

 

Understanding Sound
The below gives a guide to the acoustic levels and their suitability for your needs so you can be well informed when choosing your acoustic partition.


Sound levels:

20dB Rw – Normal speech readily audible
25dB Rw – Loud speech clearly audible
30dB Rw – Loud speech audible under normal conditions
35dB Rw – Loud speech audible but difficult to distinguish
40dB Rw – Loud speech faintly audible but cannot be distinguished
45dB Rw – Shouting audible but cannot be distinguished
50dB Rw – Shouting barely audible
