Acoustics at the design stage
Acoustics play a significant role in how comfortable an interior can be, so it's worth keeping it in mind at the design stage. Whether it is a private space, a restaurant or an office. Poor acoustics have a negative impact on our concentration and productivity while performing tasks. So it's worth taking care of acoustic comfort, which has a positive impact on our well-being.
AQfelt luminaires from AQForm
- light and sound under the designer's control
More than 90% of human perception is through sight, and only a few percent of space perception is through the sense of hearing. Does this mean that acoustics in an interior does not matter much? Nothing could be further from the truth! If acoustic conditions deviate from our expectations, auditory perception of a room also negatively affects its visual perception. Therefore, AQfelt luminaires from AQForm will also successfully find application in hotels, restaurants or spacious living rooms. They will facilitate the control of sound propagation, illuminate the interior well, and thanks to their original form, add a unique character to the arrangement.

AQfelt—a collection that takes care of acoustic and visual comfort in the interior
The AQfelt collection combines functionality with design. It guarantees light of the highest quality, and at the same time improves acoustic conditions in the interior. Luminaires from this family help reduce reverberation time, which is one of the most important factors affecting acoustic comfort. It is associated with the reduction of reverberation noise in the room.
The use of AQfelt luminaires helps
increase sound clarity and speech intelligibility.
Eliminating reverberation with AQfelt panels
We deal with reverberation when, after the emission of the original sound source has ceased, as a result of multiple reflections of sound waves from surfaces such as walls, we can still hear it. Different materials reflect and absorb sound to different degrees. Sound-absorbing materials, such as polyester felt, from which the panels of luminaires in the AQfelt family are made—shorten reverberation time and reduce reverberation noise.
