The world population is increasing exponentially every day. Increasing population also means increased noise and subsequent noise pollution. Designing the sound in such a way that it does not disturb the acoustic comfort in the spaces raises the comfortable user experience to the next level.
In this week's article, we will talk about how acoustic comfort can be provided in spaces for the perfect acoustic enclosure. "ASPEN", which has a superior performance in its field, compiled the article.

Providing acoustic enclosure is a multi-layered and complex field. It should be handled professionally, especially in environments where there are a lot of sound factors such as open offices, airports and concert halls, as it is a much more private issue.
While providing acoustic solutions, the function of the space, the number of people who will use the space and what kind of building material the space will need functionally are important topics. It is complicated to achieve perfect acoustics when it comes to public space. In the space used for optimum sound comfort, solutions that will ensure that conversation, street noise and background music exist in balance with each other will be in question.
Acoustic enclosure is related to how the sound is transmitted in a comfortable space. The factors affecting the perception of the person, depend on the reflection and absorption level of the surrounding surfaces and are determined by measuring the acoustic level of the sound in the space.

Acoustic comfort has two important technical issues: sound insulation and acoustic improvement. While less noise is obtained with sound insulation, a volume with a better sound level is obtained with improvement. In order to achieve both conditions, the interior surface of the space is directly dependent on the wall, floor and ceiling materials. The mass, air space ratio, reflectance and absorption ratio of the structural material used are the factors that will determine the comfort.

The functional layout of the space also determines the surface to be considered in providing acoustic comfort. In an open-plan office, the sound reflecting and absorbing surfaces are specific in the ceiling and floor.
ASPEN's wide product range has superior performance and technology in this regard. [Targa] raised floor systems, which offer ease of use and functional solutions in offices, offer many coating material options. With its wide choice of materials, it provides the opportunity to use the product with the most suitable performance in different places. Especially in environments where soundproofing is essential such as meeting rooms, the selection of [Targa] encapsulated panels suitable for carpet tile application will be accurate.

Ceiling coating systems are technically important to ensure sound comfort in public and crowded environments such as airport terminals. The material chosen in the ceiling systems, which also constitute the integrity of the architectural design, will ensure a comfortable travel for the user traffic. For this reason, ASPEN [Integra] Metal Suspended Ceiling and Wall Solutions, which has been preferred for many years and is experienced in its field, has become the preferred brand in important airport projects.
ASPEN offers many advantages in terms of aesthetics as well as the technical strength and performance it provides with its product solutions. Developing technology and trends in these structures, which consist of carrier systems with wide openings, have enabled creative designs to come to life. ASPEN and its innovative products were used in the Pulkovo Airport project. The ASPEN “Triangle Series Suspended Ceiling System” used is a good example of the subject. The material, which offers design freedom, has many colour options and has an Acoustic certificate.

While there are many ways to provide acoustic enclosure, it is difficult to achieve aesthetics when doing so. ASPEN continues to help creative spaces build with
superior performance, with its product range that combines the two elements. You can visit our www.aspen.com.tr address to review the creative projects we have contributed to and our products used so far.
