silentWORK - Modular sound screen for virtual meetings and telephone consultations

Why? Because only a healthy balance of concentration and communication leads to good results!

We keep coming back to the findings of Ethan Bernstein. Your employees will only perform optimally in a working environment that allows a healthy mix of communication and concentration. The best results are achieved when, in addition to collaboration, i.e. in addition to communicative phases, colleagues also find enough time to reflect on and work out ideas and results in a concentrated manner.

Design the acoustic environment for a mix of concentration and communication!

The planner of modern office spaces is required to provide spatial diversity in order to support agile working, possibly also desk sharing. In particular, today's planners must take into account the hybrid nature of office work. They must assume that some colleagues will always work from home. The connection to these employees must not be severed. Virtual meetings via Teams, Skype or similar are everyday standards in terms of target-oriented communication. Meetings, including telephone consultations, are intensive communication processes and must not simply take place in an open space. When we at woodtec talk about spatial diversity, we are not just talking about color, material and shapes. Rather, we are talking about the acoustically suitable environment for the respective activity of the employee.

Acoustic screen silentWORK for telephone consultation and virtual meetings!

With our vetroCUBE room-in-room system, we have been supplying soundproof and ventilated rooms in the immediate vicinity of the workplace for years, which can be used on an ad hoc basis as ideal retreats, especially for face-to-face teamwork and meetings. However, these soundproof booths often seem "acoustically oversized" when it is simply a matter of giving employees a better place to make phone calls, hold virtual meetings, consult on the phone or concentrate on their work. Consequently, we are now completing the range with the silentWORK acoustic screen, another self-sufficient, modular and, above all, acoustically highly effective room system.

silentWORK acoustic screen - you're in the middle of it all and yet you're on your own!

silentWORK is a free-standing acoustic screen that offers employees their own acoustic environment, reliably shielding them acoustically from their colleagues while still allowing them to remain part of the team. In the middle of it all, in the open multispace, in the workzone, within sight of their colleagues, the employee behind the silentWORK acoustic screen has an acoustically particularly well shielded workplace. The colleague remains in the team and can still develop freely. Long conversations, telephone consultations or virtual meetings, even in a foreign language, are effortless. Surrounding workstations are not disturbed and do not interfere. The silentWORK acoustic screen enriches your open space with "individual office-like qualities". silentWORK offers spatial diversity, especially in terms of acoustics, and supports your hybrid office and thus the return of your colleagues to the office space.

Acoustic screen self-sufficient and ready to use

silentWORK is a self-sufficient, self-supporting room solution. The acoustic system is free-standing, with no connection to the ceiling or the façade of the building. Stability is guaranteed. The equipment makes the acoustic screen independent of the infrastructure of the building in which it is installed. It is equipped with its own integrated lighting and can be fitted with customized electrification components on request.

Modular, flexible, free-standing and self-supporting acoustic screen!

The acoustic screen stands freely on the surface. The acoustic system can be implemented quickly and easily. It has a modular design and can be extended at any time as required. Each component can be reused. silentWORK does not need to be connected to the wall, facade or ceiling. This means that the acoustic system can be freely positioned in the building like a room-in-room solution.

Acoustics

Reverberation time and sound insulation:

The silentWORK acoustic screen optimizes two essential components of acoustics. Highly sound-absorbing components reduce the reverberation time, so that the system reduces the volume in the open space. At the same time, the sound screen encloses the workstation on five sides, providing sound insulation and sound absorption so that only a small proportion of the emitted sound penetrates to the outside. Direct sound propagation is significantly reduced, by as much as 22 dB between opposite workstations. This is precisely what ensures that employees can find peace and quiet in this room solution or can make phone calls freely and informally without disturbing others.

Acoustic and spatial structure:

In addition, the silentWORK acoustic screen, especially in combination with the vetroCUBE room-in-room system, provides spatial and acoustic structuring of the office space. If the external surfaces are acoustically activated, the reverberation time across the entire office space can be significantly optimized. This creates flexibly variable sub-areas for your teams.
Acutely effective assemblies:

The ceiling element is an A-class absorber and, with a sound absorption coefficient of αw = 0.95, bears the main burden of absorption. The acoustic screen is supported by the wall absorbers with an absorption coefficient of αw = 0.6 (optionally αw = 0.9), which are mounted in the direction of speech. Only a small proportion of the sound is reflected back into the room. At the same time, virtually no sound penetrates to the person opposite. Thanks to the additional frameless glass surfaces, the acoustic screen maintains a direct line of sight to colleagues and thus keeps employees in the team.

Sound screen with light

silentWORK encloses the workplace on 5 sides. An important component for the high effectiveness of the acoustic screen is the highly sound-absorbing ceiling element. The screen-compatible lighting is also located here. The large-format LED panel illuminates the workstation perfectly. The user switches the lighting element via a wireless radio switch.

Acoustic screen design

Frameless glazing and glass-to-glass corner connections give the acoustic screen a delicate and understated appearance. The transparent appearance of the acoustic screen ensures that your room structure does not lose its visual balance. Visual relationships are deliberately enhanced to optimize visual communication within the team. Do you still want to reduce transparency? A selection of glass decorations is available.

Sound shield silentWORK - examples of configurations

In principle, we can supply every conceivable configuration. We adapt to the size of your existing furniture so that no new investments are necessary. We supply the acoustic screen as a stand-alone construction or as a configuration for 2, 4 or more workstations. The silentWORK acoustic screen can be operated with fixed desks as well as with electrically adjustable desks. We supply the profiles in anodized silver and the surfaces in white if you want to stick to the standard. On request, we can supply the profiles in RAL and the surfaces upholstered in fabric, for example.
