| Innovative acoustic improvement to use at home  One of the major challenges about decor in especially modern houses, where minimalism is in focus in architecture and decor, is poor acoustic. Due to all the hard, unbroken surfaces; glass surfaces, granite floor and smooth walls, non-absorbent materials and high ceilings it can be difficult to avoid bad acoustics. Standing waves are sound waves, which is thrown around in the room and therefore takes longer to disappear. It feels like the room resounds, that there is an echo or that there in general is a raised sound level. There are many solutions to this problem but they often appear heavy to the room's aesthetics; e.g. raw Rockwool-looking sheets, large carpets or acoustic-panels with strange shapes or perforations hanged on walls or ceilings. From now on the Danish company SUMOpix offers a new kind of professional acoustic improvement with canvas foto, which is markedly more decorative than the alternatives: sound absorbing pictures. During the last couple of years, SUMOpix has build a reputable company in the canvas foto print industry, by offering customers a print with either their own pictures on canvas or the opportunity to choose for free between more than 6 million motives in ultra-high solution. With starting point in these canvas foto print SUMOpix has through cooperation with producers of sound absorbing material and specialists for acoustics, developed a new, innovative product. The product is called sound absorbing pictures. The sound absorbing pictures combine the creative and artistic opportunities for photo print on canvas with the acoustic benefits concerning sound absorbing panels; inside the frame there will be placed a sound absorbing sheet, which absorbs the majority of the sound waves that hits the picture. SUMOpix also produces and sell fotobog. The sound absorbing pictures effect has been tested - and proven - by the company VM-acoustics. write your comments about the article :: © 2011 Construction News :: home page |
