Combine acoustics, fire safety and durability in one robust wall construction in any school!

The vacations are over and schools are about to start again. Every day classes fill up with children who together can raise the noise level quite a bit. Especially in rooms where knowledge transfer takes place, optimal room acoustics are crucial! Poor room acoustics affect speech intelligibility, whereby information is lost at the back of the classroom and knowledge transfer is hindered. In addition, too much reverberation and loud noises lead to long-term health damage and psychological complaints. It is therefore important to invest in a pleasant learning environment where children can get the best out of themselves.

Too much reverberation and loud noises eventually lead to health damage, hearing damage and voice problems, not only in students but also in teachers. This increases absenteeism among teachers. The impact on things like fatigue, concentration problems, behavioral problems and even depression has also been convincingly demonstrated in international research. It is therefore of fundamental importance that acoustic climate control in school buildings is in order.

Soundblox are sound-absorbing acoustic concrete masonry blocks specifically designed for acoustic climate control , both in indoor and outdoor applications. Through the use of concrete, these blocks also enable good sound insulation and have excellent fire resistance, making them a price-friendly, robust and impact-resistant constitute a solution for optimizing room acoustics both sports halls, classrooms and auditoriums but also in the schoolyard in an outdoor application.

Particularly in sports halls, where acoustics pose an additional challenge due to the volume of the room, high ceilings and high noise levels, Soundblox are an excellent solution for optimizing room acoustics because of, on the one hand, their high sound absorption performance, especially in the low frequencies (ball sounds) and middle frequencies (speech area) and, on the other hand, their high compressive strength and impact resistance, which allow a stable wall construction to be achieved.

Soundblox can now also be produced in a carbonized form where CO2 is actively captured from the air to be added to the manufacturing process, completely eliminating the addition of cement. Since cement is responsible for 10% of global CO2 emissions, this is a huge step in reducing both noise pollution and CO2.
