Many offices are now choosing to have ‘zones’ within them. This means that staff are able to collaborate in one area, whilst other members of staff can concentrate on close work, without being interrupted. How? With the help of acoustic panels.
Of course, much of it comes down to effective office space planning in the first place – it’s no good having a brainstorming area directly next to a quiet space. Having said that, small offices don’t have much of a choice, and this is where acoustic panels can turn out to be very handy indeed.
The difference between modern and traditional office spaces is the type of work undertaken, and when you incorporate these types of panels, made of acoustic foam, you’re literally absorbing the noise, preventing it from making its way around the office. If you are looking for an easily configurable, extremely lightweight modular solution, go no further; you might've found it, here at Calibre. FitBricks are a fantastic choice for any type of office.
These types of foam bricks stand on a steel base and they effectively ‘catch’ the noise, converting it into heat instead. This means that if you’re sat concentrating in one corner of the office, you’re not going to have the same noise effect as if the acoustic panels weren’t there. Of course, these aren’t miracle bricks, and there will be some noise, but it’s more in the way of white noise, i.e. background humming. In terms of multi-functional furniture for the modern office, acoustic panels are a must have.
