In a canteen, the acoustics are very important for experiencing a good moment of rest. A busy canteen with reverberation creates an annoying noise level. This leads to restlessness and, ultimately, fatigue in people. Coming back to your workplace more tired after a sandwich in the canteen is not what you want to achieve with a break. Acoustic challenge:
In canteens, floors are often hard for hygienic reasons and this also applies to the furniture. Too many hard materials create reverberation. In addition, it is often busy: the more people talk, the higher the noise level becomes. These factors together lead to poor acoustics. The reason to have the acoustics in order:
By adding absorption, the reverberation in the room is reduced and this ensures better sound quality and increased intelligibility.
Noise in the canteen is bad for your mood. A good acoustic environment produces less fatigue and less stress.
With good acoustics you have less trouble with environmental incentives. It takes less energy for your brain to concentrate on the conversations. You go back to your workplace with more energy.
The acoustic solution must be aesthetically compatible with the layout of the canteen and comply with modern requirements such as fire safety and hygiene. When it comes to acoustic applications, there is a wide range of both striking and unobtrusive solutions to choose from. Canteens often look for additional soothing properties. This can be done, for example, by printing nature photos on the EASYphoto acoustic wall panel or EASYpol HD plant block.
