A leading FTSE 100 financial services group offering UK Life & Pensions, International Life & Pensions and Asset Management.
 
Their offices in London provide a central base for the chairman, CEO and other executives. The first floor comprises of a number of meeting rooms and offices, with a very small open plan element for administration staff. The board meet once a month at this location and during these and other sensitive meetings it was necessary to leave all other rooms empty as speech could be clearly heard. Predominantly the sound travelled through the metal perforated ceiling tile and the ceiling plenum but a full acoustic study was commissioned and identified a number of weaknesses in the partition system and a lack of absorption generally.
 
The 40 + page report detailed every weakness and made recommendations to solve the speech privacy issue, this report then formed the basis of a guarantee of results from Acoustic Comfort.
 
The solution was three fold:
  • A contractor was commissioned to block all the gaps in the partitions using a PU foam.
  • The LogiSon sound masking system was installed in the ceiling plenum to raise the background sound.
  • A layer of 40mm Rockwool was fitted into every perforated ceiling tile in the offices and meeting rooms.
 
The solution proved so effective that the PA to the Chairman could no longer tell if he was in his office and the board now sits every month with all meeting rooms in use.
“The report was essential to us providing the guarantee to sell the solution internally; we occasionally lend the facility to other companies in the knowledge that it is acoustically secure”
