A restaurant or bar is a crowded place where too many noise sources coexist: cutlery, dishes, moving chairs and stools. A hissing coffee machine, background music, and above all, many people talking simultaneously. Reverberation exacerbates the continuous noise, and guests become agitated. Who has never experienced leaving with a headache after an evening out for dinner?
Correcting the acoustic problems of a venue to improve its acoustic comfort is a sound investment. Today, there are many types of sound-absorbing solutions to make an environment more pleasant, with high aesthetic appeal and easy to install.
The ideal solution for your venue arises from the combination of different systems, each designed and installed correctly.
Often, installers limit themselves to proposing the installation of various-sized sound-absorbing panels, but the technical possibilities today are much greater and include textile ceilings, interior dividers, sails, and curtains.
Don't settle: by choosing Tensilence, you will have access to the widest possible range of sound-absorbing solutions, with competent technicians who can integrate them to optimize your investment and achieve the result you desire.
To reduce the reverberation time, Mottura roller blinds with acoustic fabric Soltis Touch by Serge Ferrari were installed, along with acoustic panels Soundflex by Tensilence covered with the same material. They were suspended seemingly randomly with the precise goal of visually harmonizing a very irregular ceiling.
The outcome of acoustic measurements, taken before and after their installation, showed a reduction of up to 55% in the reverberation time of frequencies between 500 Hz and 2000 Hz, typical of spoken language in indoor environments.
In this application, the reverberation times were reduced by a factor of 2.0 in a room where the reverberation time went from 1.15 to 0.57, and by 3.5 in another room where it went from 3.11 to 0.87, with a 100mm air gap.
