Childcare Institutions with Sound Design
The design of spaces for children is
intriguing because of the permanent
influence it can have on them. A new
online theme by Danish acoustic panel
manufacturer Troldtekt explores through
articles and expert interviews how good
acoustics plays its part when designing
these areas. Of course, other factors such
as colour, shapes, robustness and finish
also have an impact but so does sound.
Children are noisy and active and the
rooms they inhabit are typically large.
Careful design considerations are
particularly important because a child’s
environment moulds their perspectives
for the future and the development of
the mind and body. School, activity and
childcare spaces all affect self-esteem,
performance and friendships and help
shape the individual into the adults they
will become.
Studies such as Bronzaft and McCarthy
(1975) have shown the effect noise has
on wellbeing and learning - This is the
reason why the products of specialist
manufacturers like Troldtekt are specified
to solve the problems of noise and
reverberated sounds. If acoustic absorption
is ineffective, discomfort and irritation
will result from the reverberations. If it is
designed well, the participant’s interest
will increase, as many case studies for new
and transformed buildings prove.
In an interview with Troldtekt, the Danish
education psychologist Mille Sylvest
comments, “It’s very important to be
aware of noise when designing facilities.
Noise affects stress levels for both children
and staff because nobody can endure
spending long periods of time in a noisy
environment. Lower energy levels, more
sick leave and poorer
learning outcomes are the
direct results of noise.”
Specified throughout the
UK and Europe, the benefits
of 100% Troldtekt natural
wood wool panels include
high sound absorption,
high durability, natural
breathability, low cost life
cycle performance and
sustainability. This high
performance is recognised
64
by their Cradle to Cradle certification at
Silver level. Available in various sizes and
in four grades from extreme fine to coarse,
the panels can be left untreated or painted
in virtually any RAL colour.
