Interior design for public spaces
We manufacture acoustic solutions that blend into the environment whilst improving sound absorption. Every solution is fully tailored to the customer’s needs – whether it’s being used in a new build or a renovation of an existing property.
For a better acoustic environment
Creating a well-designed interior in public spaces is not just about aesthetics; establishing a pleasant and functional acoustic environment is also a key consideration. At GLT Herrljunga, we manufacture sound-absorbing wooden profiles, developed to combine acoustic functionality with timeless design. Here you can find out how our acoustic slats and other solutions can contribute to better sound, comfort and aesthetic harmony in public spaces.
What is interior design for public spaces?
Interior design for public spaces encompasses everything from wall panels and ceiling solutions to acoustic elements designed for places where many people gather. These can include schools, offices, restaurants, healthcare settings, libraries, or sports facilities – all of which a subject to stringent requirements in respect of durability, design, and acoustic comfort.
Why is the acoustic environment important in public spaces?
A poor acoustic environment has a greater impact than you might think. Excessive reverberation and disruptive noise can lead to stress, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating, particularly in spaces where many people are present at the same time. Investing in sound-absorbing furnishings reduces reverberation time and improves speech intelligibility, creating calmer and more pleasant environments. By using the right acoustic solutions, the working environment can be significantly improved for pupils, staff, and visitors alike.
Sound-absorbing wooden fittings
We manufacture custom-made slats for acoustic panels, a key component in creating sound-absorbing interiors for public spaces. Each project is unique, and we tailor our solutions entirely to the customer’s needs and requirements, whether for ceiling panels, wall panels, new builds or refurbishments.
We can manufacture slats for ceilings and walls in a variety of core materials, allowing us to strike the right balance between aesthetics, acoustics, and durability. For environments with specific requirements, we also offer materials that are fire and moisture-resistant, ensuring the profiles remain durable even in more demanding conditions.
In order to meet various design requirements, we offer both veneered and laminated options: veneer for a natural wood feel and laminate for a more cost-effective alternative. Whichever you choose, you get a stylish and functional interior with excellent sound absorption.
We work closely with our customers throughout the entire process, from needs analysis and materials selection to the finished product. The result is bespoke slats and panels that contribute to comfortable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing acoustic environments.
How acoustic slats work
Acoustic slats are designed to effectively control and break up sound waves, reducing reverberation and improving the acoustics in a room. They usually consist of wooden profiles mounted on acoustic felt or a similar absorbent material. The combination of the slats’ shape, the spacing between them, and the underlying material ensures that sound waves are both captured and dispersed in a controlled manner.
In public spaces where many voices, movements, and sound sources coexist, acoustic slats help to create a more subdued and pleasant soundscape. Furthermore, they also offer a warm, natural, and stylish aesthetic that blends seamlessly with modern architecture.
