New acoustic solution: An easy choice for better acoustics
Baierl & Demmelhuber Hoch- und Ausbau GmbH chose the new Troldtekt® Plus acoustic solution with fleece for the construction of a new school building in Bavaria. Thanks to the lightweight wood wool panels, the school meets the high requirements in terms of acoustics and design. The minimal panel thickness also enables easy and efficient installation.
It is important that students are able to concentrate in lessons and hear what the teacher is saying in the classroom. This means that schools have to meet special acoustic requirements. For the BV Landshut Ost primary school in Bavaria, the contractor therefore proposed the new Troldtekt® Plus acoustic panels with fleece as ceiling panels.
"It was crucial to meet the client’s requirements, and we were able to do so with Troldtekt products. After extensive discussions with the client, expert advice from Troldtekt and an impressive trial installation, we decided on the solution. But ultimately, it was the functional and visual advantages that were decisive," reports Jürgen Eisenrauch, project manager at Baierl & Demmelhuber Hoch- und Ausbau GmbH.
Troldtekt Plus with fleece is a newly developed series of lightweight wood wool panels with a thin acoustic fleece. The combination improves acoustic performance – and makes the solution easy to handle, store and install. The panels are available in thicknesses of 15, 25 or 35 mm. The 25 mm variant was chosen for the project in Landshut. As a suspended ceiling, the chosen solution absorbs up to 95 percent of the sound (αw = 0.95).
Easy installation and efficient logistics
As soon as the acoustic panels were installed on three large test areas, the benefits were clear
"The work with Troldtekt products, including cutting, milling and installation, went smoothly. The precision in manufacturing the panels is perfect, both in terms of the dimensions and the angularity of the panels. Both factors are decisive for efficiency and quality on the construction site," says Jürgen Eisenrauch, adding:
"The construction and weight of acoustic panels with acoustic fleece has many advantages. The transport costs can be reduced, the entire logistics on the construction site is more efficient –not to mention the easier installation and reduced physical strain for our installers."
Suitable for most building types
Based on his initial experiences, Jürgen Eisenrauch sees great potential in Troldtekt Plus with fleece. He emphasises that the solution is suitable for schools, nurseries, offices and other buildings where good sound absorption is important.
"The sound-absorbing properties combined with the low weight, easy transportation and storage, rounded out with the simple processing are strong arguments for choosing this product. The quality is good and the easy processing saves time and therefore money," he says.
