'Good acoustics thanks to our customized solutions'

Good acoustics in a building are important in more ways than one. It prevents noise pollution, which can lead to both physical and mental problems. Vilton has a team of technical specialists, engineers and fitters with a great deal of knowledge and experience to provide solutions for improving acoustics. Among others in schools.

Those schools have their own characteristics, say marketing manager Bert Jan Lambregtse and technical specialist ing. Marcel van der Roest. "Think of multiple functions in a building, such as a theater or indoor gymnasium. In addition, you have closely spaced classrooms that are often equipped with hard materials from a maintenance and cleaning standpoint."

But bouncing basketballs, a full classroom or a crowded auditorium where sound reverberates for a long time are also daily occurrences. In short: vibrations and many decibels that cause noise pollution. Such, says Van der Roest, that people can suffer psychological and physical complaints. "We therefore like to think along with you about adequate solutions in existing situations and in new construction. We offer numerous solutions, which we have collected in our so-called 'silent suitcase.'" As an example, he mentions the floating floor systems and sound-absorbing wall panels that offer solutions not only in schools, but also in hotels, office buildings, theaters and multifunctional accommodations, for example. "Often there is still too little consideration for good acoustic measures. We offer solutions that make the aesthetic wishes of the architect and requirements of the building physics consultant possible. We have now demonstrated this in numerous projects, using our knowledge, experience and innovative products as a basis."
