The HAWA Suono sliding fitting with the patented 3D movement gives  more room design options opening up new usage areas. It combines the advantages of sliding solutions (less space required, appealing appearance, freedom from barriers) with soundproofing of up to 39 decibels. Sliding solutions can now be implemented where privacy and soundproofing are essential;  lawyer’s

Acoustica’s QuietWave® noise barrier isolates noise and dampens sound vibration increasing the sound transmission loss. Noise transmission between high confidentiality partition wall systems has always been a challenge to control and is therefore difficult to find an effective solution to integrate into the building design. There is now a simple, efficient and cost-effective solution to this problem…it’s

Recently, there has been a call for change to fire compliance on an international level. In certain areas of a residential care facility, evacuation in the event of a fire is almost impossible. Therefore, fire prevention should be top of mind at the concept stage. In the event of a fire, occupant safety and the protection

Passive smoke ventilation employs natural driving forces for the efficient and expeditious exhaust of smoke and heat from a burning building. Electric remote window controls are an energy efficient and effective way of providing passive or natural ventilation, and can be incorporated into smoke dispersal systems. This not only allows for the safety and security

It is possible to optimise the acoustical environment with the thoughtful selection of materials? The choice of materials that have the capacity to reduce sound reverberation inside the room, those which limit the transmission of noise from outside the room, and those which minimise background noise from heating, cooling, and ventilation systems are most suitable.

A well-engineered  operable wall track can make a big difference to the lifetime of the wall. Tight tolerances and the demands of over use or alternately not enough use can impact the performance if not maintained.  Periodic maintenance enables longevity, therefore the tracks should be cleaned and when required adjustment to carriers should be made

Through the use of quality products, architects and designers can employ natural ventilation techniques which essentially enable a house to aspirate, breathe, and to ventilate. As Australia enjoys an abundance of sunshine each year, in fact it is on average twice as sunny in Brisbane as it is in London, it is imperative to ensure
