Why is acoustics so important?

Well-planned rooms and work areas offer protection from disruptive influences and create the right environment for concentrated work as well as space for privacy. This is essential for the physical and mental health of employees.
A detailed acoustic concept has long been an elementary component of all sophisticated architectural projects, whether for meeting or office areas, showrooms or in private homes. Nevertheless, in our discussions with architects, we have noticed how this important topic is often underestimated.
In addition to the clear benefits of well-planned room acoustics, regulations also apply. The Noise Protection Ordinance provides clear guidelines to protect against noise in the workplace.

Bad acoustics

A long reverberation time and many reflective surfaces. Productive work is almost impossible here.

Average acoustics

Absorbing elements can reduce the reverberation time. The noise level has dropped significantly.

Good acoustics

Effective sound absorbers help to improve room acoustics and offer the best room ambience. Everyone feels comfortable and can work without disruption.

Why environmentally friendly acoustic furniture?

The changing world of work – rethinking sustainability:

Hybrid working requires new spatial concepts, focus zones and a value-oriented corporate culture. ESG criteria are increasingly coming into focus in large companies. The workplace is becoming a place that creates identity – ecologically and functionally designed.

For building owners, architects and facility managers, the ecological quality of the furnishings is what counts. Certifications such as the DGNB require proof of material health and acoustics – furnishings are becoming an integral part of sustainable building concepts.

Preform sets standards with recyclable acoustic materials that combine environmental awareness, well-being and productivity – a look at innovative materials such as PreDinkel and gypsum foam shows how materials can positively influence sustainability and room quality.

PREFORM acoustic material compared

PreDinkel and gypsum foam

Our two core materials create more than just acoustics: they create atmosphere.
PreDinkel impresses with its natural origin, 100% biodegradability and was a finalist for the Green Product Award in 2025 – ideal for sustainable concepts with character.
Gypsum foam as a natural and patented sound absorber is the heart of our products. It ensures outstanding sound absorption and architectural freedom.

Acoustics 360°

Modern office spaces are changing rapidly – which means that the demands on room acoustics are also increasing. With Acoustics 360°, we support our clients in a 5-stage process – from analysis to implementation, in new builds and in the refurbishment of existing buildings.

We offer standard-compliant solutions with high quality, uniform design across all locations, flexible use of space and clear budget transparency. This creates acoustically effective rooms that inspire in everyday office life.

Using room acoustic simulation, we analyze the sound propagation in your digital room plan, evaluate relevant parameters in accordance with applicable standards and identify specific acoustic problem zones.
