Sound insulation largely determines how much privacy a space offers. It should be considered in every type of building, from offices, schools and hospitals to warehouses and homes.
Different areas need different levels of privacy. Meeting rooms, boardrooms, private offices, consulting rooms and classrooms are all spaces where people expect not to be overheard, and not to be disturbed by noise from elsewhere.
How we can help
We advise on the best way to achieve the right level of privacy, taking account of how the space will be used, background noise levels and the need for future flexibility. Getting involved early helps us feed into ventilation design and room adjacencies (for example, avoiding placing a cinema next to a library).
We can help whether you’re designing a new building, reconfiguring an office, refurbishing a home or replacing carpet with a hard floor finish.
