Capital is a fast-growing trading platform, with offices in Europe, the UK, the Middle East and Australia. The company offers intuitive technology solutions, in-depth training and dedicated support for its clients.
Capital's offices follow the modern standard of interior design - predominantly glass partitions that create acoustic challenges. The main issues were:
During the site visit we found that sound was passing not only through the glass partitions but also through the aluminium profiles of the building façade. Because they are hollow, they act as an acoustic conductor, creating a funnel-like effect. The director’s office was especially critical, as sound travelled from it to the open-plan office areas. The wall ends at a hollow aluminium window-frame profile with reduced sound insulation. Its sound reduction index is about 26 dB – well below that of the wall. With such a difference the weak point determines the overall result: even a narrow strip at 26 dB lowers the sound insulation of the whole wall. Example: in a 50 dB wall, a 26 dB profile occupying only 1% of its area (a 5 cm strip over the height of a 5 m long wall) lets through about 70% of the sound energy, and the overall insulation drops to about 45 dB.
After analyzing the client's problems and budget parameters, we proposed acoustic treatment of the conference rooms and part of the open spaces. The solution included:
After presentation of 3D visualization and discussion with the client were selected:
After final approval, we drew up a detailed offer and went into production. Within 10 working days we produced 130 acoustic panels. Installation was done at a time convenient for the customer without disrupting the operational work of the company. The entire installation process took three working days.
Through the implemented acoustic solutions we achieved:
