Every quiet office comes down to three things.

Most acoustic problems get one fix when they need three. We look at the whole room and combine the right mix of absorbing, blocking and covering sound.

Absorb

Stop sound from bouncing around the room.

  • Acoustic ceiling tile and grid
  • Specialty ceilings in wood, metal and felt
  • Clouds, baffles and blades
  • Wall panels and acoustic wall coverings
  • Acoustic blankets for open and industrial spaces

Block

Keep sound from traveling between spaces.

  • Acoustic insulation in walls and above ceilings
  • Ceiling barriers and plenum blocking
  • Acoustical sealants and gap treatment
  • Door seals and sound rated assemblies

Cover

Make conversations private with sound masking.

  • Sound masking design and installation
  • Speech privacy for offices, healthcare and government
  • Tuning, measurement and verification
  • Upgrades and support for existing systems
Acoustic Safe Harbor

Speech privacy you can measure, not just hope for.

Our Acoustic Safe Harbor approach designs every space to a measurable speech privacy target, then verifies the result using recognized ASTM test methods, so you have documentation, not guesswork.

1. MeasureWe record your existing background sound and speech privacy before any work begins.
2. Design to a targetWe set a privacy goal for each area, from normal privacy in open offices to confidential privacy in sensitive rooms.
3. Verify and documentAfter installation we test again and give you a written report of the results.

Acoustic Safe Harbor describes our design and verification process. It is not legal advice and does not by itself guarantee compliance with any law or regulation.
