The sound reflects between the glass outer façade and the inner façade and creates an unlivable acoustic climate on the gallery especially since all floors are connected. How do you solve that without compromising the aesthetic design? Well, in this particular case, Soundblox acoustic concrete blocks were used by the architect and these concessions turned out to be unnecessary! This solved the acoustic problem in an excellent way.
There is a persistent misconception that you don't need sound absorption in an outdoor situation! However, under a canopy or in parking garages, (outdoor) swimming pools and schoolyards, where annoying fluttering echoes make playing a lot less fun, a sound-absorbing solution is certainly not an unnecessary luxury.
Houses and condominiums directly on the highway or near train stations can also be affected by loud noise from passing traffic and trains. A passing train and 25 meters from the highway increases the noise level to 70 dB!
Soundblox acoustic concrete blocks can help in these situations to create a sound barrier while absorbing excess sound. The solution for both sound absorption, sound insulation and fire resistance can be integrated into one robust wall construction. And this wall can also be built high because of its excellent compressive strength.
With Soundblox, the acoustic climate can be optimized both indoors and outdoors, wherever stability, impact (ball) resistance and fire safety are just as important as (room) acoustics.
Soundblox are therefore also suitable for areas where extreme temperatures prevail or aggressive materials are handled.
Soon we will come up with a new innovation where Soundblox can be produced in a CO-2 negative way and these acoustic concrete blocks are not only a solution in the fight against noise pollution but also in the fight against climate change! We will come back to this in detail.
