Acoustic Solutions for Offices

In dynamic office environments, noise is becoming a significant issue, with many employees citing it as the number one complaint. Research has shown that noise distractions can significantly hinder productivity and affect employee well-being. It is crucial to address office acoustics to create environments that support focus, collaboration, and overall well-being. Altispace acoustic solutions and architectural products not only help reduce noise but also enhance the aesthetic appeal of a workspace, all without the need for costly and disruptive construction.

Why Acoustic Treatment is Essential for Offices

Noise in the office comes from many sources such as phone calls, conversations, machinery, and general office chatter. In open-plan offices, these noises are amplified, creating an environment filled with distractions. Therefore, prioritizing acoustics in office design is crucial for fostering a productive and harmonious workplace.

When designing a space, acoustic treatment is not just about reducing noise; it’s also about improving the comfort and functionality of the workspace. Good acoustics allow employees to focus, communicate effectively, and feel more at ease in their environment. For interior designers and architects, understanding how to incorporate effective acoustic solutions is a key step in designing spaces that balance both form and function.

How to Improve Acoustics in an Office

Improving acoustics in an office space doesn’t require drastic changes like building walls or separate rooms. Instead, it can be achieved through thoughtful design and the strategic use of our acoustic products that manage sound effectively while adding to the visual appeal of the space. Below are some key strategies for improving office acoustics:

1. Acoustic Panels

Altispace Acoustic Panels are one of the most effective ways to reduce noise and improve sound quality in any office. These Acoustic Panels are designed to absorb sound energy, reducing echo and reverberation. Our panels are constructed using recycled PET Felt material due to their excellent sound-absorbing properties. PET Felt is especially popular because of its sustainability, versatility, and ability to be customized into various types, shapes, sizes, and colors to match any office design. By placing our Acoustic Panels on walls or suspended from the ceilings in high-traffic areas or around noisy spots, designers can significantly improve the overall acoustics of the space without compromising its aesthetic.

One of the standout features of our Acoustic Panels is their impressive Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) rating, which ranges from 0.8 to 1. These Acoustic Panels come in a variety of geometric forms, Rectangles, Hexagons, Circles, Squares, Left/Right Parallelogram, and Trapezoid, allowing you to mix and match to create dynamic visuals.

2. Acoustic Ceiling Baffles

The ceiling is often an overlooked space when it comes to acoustic treatment. However, it plays a significant role in how sound travels within a room. When left untreated, ceilings reflect sound waves, amplifying the noise in an office. Altispace Ceiling Baffles are a great solution for addressing this issue.

These sound-absorbing baffles can be suspended from the ceiling, directly above areas where noise is most prominent, such as meeting rooms or open office spaces. Made from materials like PET Felt, these Acoustic Ceiling Baffles prevent sound waves from bouncing off the ceiling and spreading across the room. Their hollow core construction and design allow them to effectively manage sound frequencies and reduce unwanted echo.

Our Acoustic Products (Baffles, Fins, Shapes, Panels) are available in a wide range of 19 vibrant acoustic colors and 6 stylish wood-look PET color options. To achieve the natural beauty of wood, we print realistic wood grain patterns onto our high-performance PET acoustic felt material, offering both aesthetic appeal and superior sound absorption.

With 84 standard sizes to choose from, along with thickness option of 0.75” (only for Fins), 1.5″ or 2″, our acoustic products can be customized to meet the specific needs of any office space, ensuring both effective noise control and a visually pleasing design.

3. Illuminated Acoustic Baffles

Altispace Illuminated Acoustic Baffles are an innovative product that combines noise reduction with enhanced lighting. These light fixtures are crafted with sound-absorbing materials and come in various colors, sizes, and kelvin temperatures, making them a stylish addition to any office space. By incorporating our Illuminated Acoustic Baffles, designers can reduce noise levels while also improving the lighting quality, creating a more comfortable and inviting environment for employees. These dual-purpose products are perfect for spaces where noise and lighting both need attention, such as conference rooms or lounges.

Select from a variety of Kelvin temperatures, ranging from 2700K to 5000K, to create the ideal lighting atmosphere for your space. Whether you prefer a cool, energizing light or a warm, welcoming glow, our LED options offer versatility to suit every preference. With integrated dimming functionality, you can easily adjust the ambiance using a remote, wall-mounted touch control, or a Wi-Fi-enabled remote, providing seamless control over your lighting environment.

4. Desk Dividers and Partition Panels

In open-plan offices, one of the most effective ways to control the sound is by using desk dividers or partition panels. These acoustic partitions are designed to absorb and block sound, creating more private and quieter workspaces. Desk dividers can be placed between workstations to minimize distractions and reduce sound transmission, which is particularly useful in shared office environments. Many of these dividers are made from sound-absorbing materials like PET Felt, allowing them to blend seamlessly into the office decor.

How Can Acoustic Solutions Enhance Your Office Design?

While improving office acoustics is crucial for productivity, it also provides a unique opportunity for designers to enhance the aesthetic appeal of a space. Altispace Acoustic Products are highly customizable, offering various colors, sizes, and thicknesses to match any office style. Whether you’re designing a sleek, minimalist office or a vibrant, creative workspace, you can find acoustic solutions that align with your vision.

Customization for Every Office Style

From the shape of Acoustic Wall Panels to the color of Acoustic Ceiling Baffles, Altispace acoustic products can be tailored to suit the specific needs of the workspace. Customization options such as integrating LED lighting with acoustic panels or choosing a unique pattern for the wall panels allow designers to create personalized, functional spaces that reflect the brand and culture of the company.
