Acoustic Screens for an Open-Plan Office – NecGroup

Client

NecGroup - a company with an open-plan office organized into several functional areas. They contacted Acousticforce to manufacture and supply specialist acoustic screens to improve the acoustic comfort of employees' daily work.

Problem

NecGroup's office has an area of about 200 square meters, divided into several areas where different teams work. Due to the lack of partitions and acoustic treatment, high noise levels, communication difficulties and reduced employee concentration were felt in the space. The original design included a large number of larger sized panels but was inefficient and technically unsuccessful.

Problem Specifics

  • The space was divided into three color-coded zones: green, blue, and white

  • Each screen had to be matched colorfully and functionally with the corresponding area

  • Precise positioning and suspension of the parapets from the ceiling structure was required

The structure had to be stable, and the panels had to pick up sound directly from the person speaking, as an acoustic barrier between individual workstations</span

Solution

Our engineering team did a design optimization, reducing the number of panels to achieve the same effect with fewer modules - by connecting the panels in sections. Each acoustic screen was constructed from:

  • Metal frame, powder coated in the corresponding color

  • Acoustic wool, also powder-coated in the colours of the zones

Individual mounting profile according to height and positioning in the room

Execution

The production of the acoustic screens went through two main phases - painting the frames and then the panels themselves. Installation was planned for 10 working days, but the Acousticforce team completed it in just 5, despite the challenges:

  • Requirement of installation of ceiling profiles

  • Precise panel levelling and positioning

  • Implementation of a design that included clear height and orientation of the parapets

Summary

The project with NecGroup demonstrates Acousticforce's ability to offer a more efficient solution than originally specified, without compromising on quality. The acoustic screens perform both a sound barrier function and visual zoning, contributing to a more relaxed and productive work environment. The short lead times for fabrication and installation were testament to our high degree of organisation and expertise.

Materials used

  • Acoustic panels with metal frame

  • Prefabricated acoustic wool in RAL colours

  • Custom combination of connected zoning modules
