Soundproofing & improving acoustics in healthcare

Soundproofing and acoustics in healtcare
The problem of reverberation (also experienced as a short of echo) is caused by the frequent use of hard materials in the interior. In many waiting and treatment rooms the interior is quite sober due to a hard floor, little furnishing and a lack of soft surfaces such as curtains and fabric furniture. Patients and healthcare staff experience poor intelligibility, often at risk of privacy.  

Improving the acoustics
In short: apply sufficiently soft and sound absorbent materials, acoustic panels, to hard reflective surfaces. There are various products and materials to make the acoustic climate more pleasant.

Products for walls
To reduce reflections from the walls, you can use, for example, various Flamex and Akotherm products. Covering one wall in your room for a about a quarter often already gives a good result.

Products for ceiling
To reduce reflections from the ceiling, especially in high spaces, you can think of products (materials) such as Akotherm SF, Flamex Edge and Flamex Basic. In rooms with a drop ceiling, or suspended ceiling, the Soundstone Ceiling Tiles, are a very good and easy to install option.

What do I need to improve the acoustics?
The rule of thumb for improving acoustics: If a room has about 100 m² of floor area, add at least 25 to 30 m² of acoustic panels to the rooms ceiling and/or walls. If you are not sure on how to go about, just let us know. Send an email with some photos of the room in question and we provide you with free advice and tips!

Soundproofing in healthcare
In addition to poor acoustics in healthcare institutions and doctors' practices, the access doors to the various rooms, such as the treatment, waiting and consulting room, are often a problem. Standard doors offer little privacy due to poor insulation values. Soundproofing a door is easy, we have a guide on how to do this. But you might be surprised what a drop seal can do in some cases. A big gap between the door and floor often leaks more sound, speech, then you might think. So consider a drop seal if this is the case! If the walls between different rooms are a problem, take a look on our page with solutions and products to soundproof walls and solve issues with suspended ceilings and pre-fab walls. And again, let us know if you have any questions!

Below you will find the products for improving the acoustics in your practice room
