Suspended ceilings
Here are half a dozen seminars covering all aspects of the specification and installation of stretch and suspended ceilings, from six of the industry’s leading specialists.
The control of reverberation times within interiors is crucial for a productive and healthy operating environment. Design decisions made purely from an aesthetic point of view can totally undermine a project’s success. Sto’s acoustic RIBA CDP seminar aims to inform the designer of key acoustic considerations to take into account when designing a successful interior space.
Sto is a global manufacturer and distributor of building materials. An internationally recognised technology leader, it is known for high quality, innovative and sustainable systems. Within the UK Sto is best known for its render and external wall insulation systems, as well as cutting edge acoustic installations.
There are five fundamental design elements to designing a good learning environment, which include "classroom acoustics". In this seminar Saint-Gobain Ecophon discusses acoustics (the invisible design element), how we hear, and the latest acoustic standards and how best to achieve them. It concludes with an overview of "The Essex Study" - optimised acoustics for all.
Saint-Gobain Ecophon manufactures a wide range of acoustic and hygienic suspended ceilings, acoustic rafts (for exposed soffits in thermally activated building design) and acoustic wall panels. It provides comprehensive technical back-up for projects in a wide range of sectors including education, office, healthcare, pharmaceutical, retail and manufacturing.
The objective of this presentation is to provide an improved understanding of healthcare ceiling requirements, associated guidelines and applications. It aims to uncover the functions that the ceiling must provide and the critical performances, both obvious and obtuse, that are expected of the ceiling in any healthcare environment.
