Sound Balance is a system of acoustic elements designed for open-plan offices. The range comprises 34 wall and room elements that absorb sound. Each absorber combines polyester fleece panels of varying densities to reach a high level of sound absorption. The acoustic material offers a higher absorption rating than typical foams and fibres. All Sound Balance elements are certified to Fire Safety Class B2 and use pollutant-free materials. The elements are sturdy and hold securely on the wall. Noise is reduced while a calm visual appearance is kept.

Production Technology
The special Sigel acoustic material has a high sound-absorption
rating compared to typical absorption foams and fibres. An individual
combination of polyester fleece panels of varying densities
has been developed for each absorber in the Sound Balance
range. This guarantees an optimum level of sound absorption.
And this is how Sound Balance meets the highest standards of
acoustic performance.
Project Duration
2 year in Mertingen, Germany
Operation Flow
Here at Sigel, we completely understand the needs of office workers and develop solutions on that basis. With Sound Balance, we offer an intelligently designed system that is most effective when used interactively.
Research
The expertise of the acoustic specialists at Müller-BBM is an
integral part of the Sound Balance product range. All of the
product components were tested for their acoustic properties
in the laboratories at Müller-BBM in order to ensure optimum
product performance.
Inspiration
As a consequence of the mega trends of digitalisation and New Work,
co-working spaces with strong networks have become a model for
the agile working world of the future. While loft-style interiors encourage teamwork and the exchange of ideas, there should also be
quiet rooms close by that allow concentration and efficient work.
But modern work environments often have a problem with noise.
