Classroom acoustics
The negative impact that bad acoustics in the classroom can have on the learning of a child cannot be understated. Research shows significant improvement in results, concentration levels and student happiness in classrooms which have been treated appropriately with acoustic solutions
Added to this, the number of teachers off sick from work with voice and stress related issues is found to be reduced in acoustically sound classrooms. Can you afford to not have your classroom treated effectively?
Treating the classroom effectively can offer huge benefits to all students, but especially where there is a student in the class with learning disabilities, ear infections, hearing loss/reduced hearing capacity, speech and language problems, attention issues and disorders or auditory processing disorders
When rooms are left untreated it may cause problems for students and their ability to understand speech, how they behave, how much they pay attention and can concentrate
Classrooms present an opportunity for creativity when it comes to acoustics. The standard suspended ceiling is a great starting place, however they don’t have to be boring white square tiles. Ceiling tiles could be 3D in design, in different colours, printed with pictures and presented in an exciting way
Many of the wall panels and wall coverings we supply and install can double up as pinboards – so the double use of the products is something which adds not only value, but practical space usage
Some simple measures will make an immediate impact; the installation of carpets or rugs, for example, will stop part of hard floors reflecting as much sound. These can be used as part of a whole acoustic solution
Our team of in-house acoustic experts can visit your school or college and assess the requirements on a room-by-room basis. As each room is different, we don’t employ a one-size-fits-all approach. You can have piece of mind that what we offer will do the job we say it will, at a price to fit your budget and be aesthetically pleasing for the teachers and students
