S-Line - experts in noise control
Today's modern, flexible offices are open spaces with
all kinds of different workstations. An environment that stimulates cooperation,
where people can communicate easily.
But where low-frequency noise can
also be a major problem.
Many surveys on wellbeing in the office have shown
clear results.
Low-frequency noise is by far the biggest working environment
problem of our times. Fans, telephones and printers produce disturbing noise
that makes us stressed, tired and irritable, which in the long term reduces our
work effectiveness.
A healthy working environment is an essential
prerequisite for working in a focused way. But creating it is a job that
requires extensive knowledge of noise and offices. Which is exactly what we have
here at S-Line.
We are experts - in noise and noise control
Careful planning is required to reconcile a good lighting and noise
environment.
Noise reduction and absorption are two important ingredients.
Reduction
Reduction means noise reduction. This can be achieved
using noise-absorbing screen walls or by deflecting sound, for instance towards
a noise-absorbing ceiling. Several independent studies carried out by WSP
Environmental have shown that our noise-absorbing Strict Line screen walls have
a unique noise-reducing capacity. Our 1.8 m high screen wall provided an overall
reduction of 16 dB. Our 2.17 m screen wall reduced the noise level by no less
than 19 dB. Remember that a noise reduction of 8-10 dB means a halving the noise
level in our ears.

Independent studies show that the 2.17 m high screen wall reduces noise by 19 dB. It is categorised as class A+.
"The idea of open environments is for people to be
able to communicate easily. But it is also important to create an
environment free of disturbance. S-Line screen walls combine these two
needs in the best possible way.

Absorption
Noise absorption, simply put, means converting sound
energy into another form of energy. The better the absorbent material, the more
sound energy is converted.
The absorbent we use at S-Line is made in
cooperation with Ecophon. This guarantees high quality.
Independent
measurements made by Ingemansson Technology also show that our screen walls have
the highest possible absorption capacity over the sound frequencies
corresponding to the office environment.
What distinguishes us from
our competitors is our exposure of the absorption surface in our screen walls.
Exposure is permitted by the apertures of the many holes in the walls.
The level of perforation is 31 % - the highest possible before
function is lost.
