Libraries

Acoustic tratment in libraries

An essential requirement of libraries is silence: in these environments it is important to keep the background noise level low in order to support concentration. For correct acoustic correction, action should be taken to reduce the reverberation times generated by overlapping voices and noises. Background noise in libraries and reading rooms can disturb users and reduce cognitive ability to concentrate, resulting in a greater propensity to be distracted.

Acoustic solution for libraries and reading rooms

Acoustic problems in libraries are often increased by the presence of reading tables arranged very close one to the other. The use of sound-absorbing desk divider panels makes it possible to separate individual workstations and delimit tables and desks. In this sense, Scriba sound-absorbing panels provide greater privacy and help maintain silence. For greater separation, the D-Space floor panels can be used to separate the reading areas from the rest of the room, with a variety of support systems, and the layout can be easily changed according to the new requirements. For hallway and corridor ceilings, the installation of Flag acoustic panels may be considered, they are specially designed to interrupt the propagation of sound waves and improve the acoustic comfort of spaces through which a large number of people pass every day.

Thanks to the wide range of customisation options, from dimensions to fixing systems, from colours to prints, up to the integration of efficient LED lighting systems, all Caruso Acoustic products are suitable for different uses.
