Sound Insulation and Acoustics of an Office – LimeChain

Client

LimeChain – An established technology company developing software and blockchain solutions. A team with high standards for confidentiality, focus, and the quality of the work environment.

Problem

LimeChain contacted us regarding a serious issue with sound transmission between two adjacent rooms in their office. Conversations and meetings in one room could be clearly heard in the other, which compromised confidentiality and caused discomfort for the teams.

Problem Specifics

During our on-site inspection, we identified several key factors that contributed to the problem:

Unsealed openings around cable trayspassing between the rooms, which acted as "channels" for sound.
Gaps between the glass doors and the framesallowing sound waves to pass through even when the doors are closed.
Lack of acoustic treatment in the halls, which caused reverberation and made speech difficult to understand. This caused people to subconsciously speak louder, which further amplified the sound transmission between rooms.

This combination of structural and acoustic factors is common in modern office spaces with glass partitions and exposed utilities.

Solution

We approached the project in phases, with a clear logic and prioritization:

Soundproofing measures – We recommended installing soundproof enclosures around the cable trays and improving the door seals to minimize direct sound transmission as much as possible.
Acoustic treatment of the halls – to control echoes and improve speech intelligibility, enabling quieter and more relaxed communication.

Execution

Following our initial site inspection and consultation, the LimeChain team implemented the recommended soundproofing measures. A few months later, they contacted us again to move on to the acoustic phase of the project.

We developed several acoustic treatment solutions, and the client chose PET (felt) acoustic panels. We have prepared 3D renderings and, working closely with their design team, we developed a final design that took into account both the interior and the results of our acoustic calculations regarding the required treatment area.

Production and installation were completed approximately six months after the initial meeting.

In one of the rooms, the panels were mounted on the glass partition walls using spacers.
In the other room—on the glass partitions and part of the solid walls—to achieve optimal acoustic balance.

Summary

The LimeChain project is a good example of how the combination of proper soundproofing measures and targeted acoustic treatment leads to a tangible improvement in the working environment. As a result, the client achieved greater privacy, clearer speech during meetings, and a significantly more comfortable atmosphere in the rooms.
