Quiet zone

The modern office must provide all members of staff with the opportunity to find a suitable environment for their particular work. People who work in an open plan office sometimes need a quiet zone, next to a library for example, where it is possible to read, write and think in peace and quiet.

• A quiet zone requires low noise levels and efficient damping of any noise that arises. Partitions can protect the quiet zone from surrounding acoustic environments.
• Avoid disturbing noise from service installations by not locating the quiet zone near such facilities.
• As four walls do not surround the quiet zone, a high level of sound absorption is necessary in the quiet zone itself and adjoining rooms.

• The acoustic ceiling in a quiet zone must be of sound absorption class A. In certain cases it may be necessary to add wall absorbers.

• Ecophon Master/alpha - to achieve sound absorption class A, which efficiently dampens any noise entering the quiet zone from adjoining areas. Noise arising in the quiet zone itself is also dampened efficiently.
• Ecophon Wall Panel - to achieve sound absorption class A, which efficiently dampens any noise entering the quiet zone from adjoining areas. Noise arising in the quiet zone itself is also dampened efficiently.
