Which product is best for you?

One of the issues arising from having a multi-functional space is that when the area is to be divided into two separate rooms it is likely that you will not want any sound to be traveling between the rooms. This would be the case in either an educational facility like a school or in an event space where two different functions would be taking place simultaneously. In commercial buildings, an office, for example, it may or may not be so important for the airborne sound to be diminished

The transferred sound between the separated spaces is measured in decibels (dB). The table below shows the type of effect various levels of sound reduction will have.

Therefore understanding the options available and choosing the type of moveable wall or folding partition that will best suit the purpose of the room is very important. The materials used for the partition will affect the acoustic properties of the wall as some are more soundproof than others. Also if the partition is made up of different elements i.e. including doors and glazing, each having different sound reduction characteristics, the overall level of reduction will be lower than if the divider had been made of just one material. The leakage of sound through the surrounding structure of the building must also be taken into consideration.
