| Acoustic perfection with limitless decorative possibilities |
|
The use of materials such as glass, marble and steel in modern architecture have sound-reflectant surfaces, creating reverberation and other noise distortions.
By using sound absorbent materials, a balanced acoustic equilibrium can be achieved. But it can be difficult to find a product with effective acoustic qualities that also visually complements the surroundings.
Sto acoustic products and systems are the ideal way to achieve pleasing room acoustics. Porous surfaces regulate reverberation, improving the sound quality in places where this is of particular importance, such as call centres, banks, conference rooms, schools and colleges.
Sto acoustic panel systems have unique expansion properties, allowing them to be installed in areas of up to 200mē or 25 linear metres in one direction without the need for expansion joints, providing a seamless and monolithic appearance.
Colour design is easily achieved with over 465 standard colours in StoSilent Superfein sound transparent silicate plaster and over 800 colours in StoSilent Color acoustic renovation paint.
Reverberation time
Reverberation time (RT) is the most widely used parameter for assessing acoustics within a room. It is a measure of sound within a room and how long it takes for the sound to fade away, and is primarily dependent on:
1. The volume of the room
2. The surface areas of the room
3. The materials used for the interior surfaces
4. The degree of occupancy
The applicable British standard is BS 8233:1999 "Sound Insulation and Noise Reduction for Buildings". You can calculate the approximate reverberation time for your project using the new Sto reverberation time calculator. |
