INFINIUM Architectural Walls Announces Breakthrough in Office Privacy
Independent testing of the new INFINIUM Architectural Wall System achieves superior acoustical privacy with all of the advantages of movable wall and partitions in office interior design.
(PRWEB) December 31, 2004 -- Many studies have shown that office noise is
associated with lower productivity and increased stress. Interior designers,
architects and facilities managers have had difficulty finding a full height
wall system that provides all the benefits of movable walls plus a superior
level of acoustical privacy. That is until now! INFINIUM has taken another major
step in achieving its goal of designing and engineering movable wall products
that far exceed performance capabilities of other wall systems.
During
recent independent testing at the internationally accredited Riverbank
Acoustical Laboratory, INFINIUM achieved an unprecedented 50 STC (Sound
Transmission Classification). The testing was conducted according to stringent
ASTM E90 standards, the industry benchmark for product comparisons. INFINIUM
chose to use the largest chamber opening size permitted (9’ x 14’) to test
multiple panels simulating actual field conditions.
"Walls are meant to
provide privacy. But one of the weaknesses that have plagued the market for
years was the inability of a movable wall system to provide an acceptable level
of privacy. Most full height movable wall manufacturers don't even test their
product and, if they do, are reluctant to publish the results. Some test in a
smaller opening assuming they will receive better results. Our results are
unprecedented and represent a major breakthrough in acoustical performance",
said product expert and INFINIUM President, Shawn Gaffney.
According to
published results and based on acoustical calculations INFINIUMS’ 50 STC
performance yields a movable wall that is approximately 25 times quieter than
typical drywall construction and at least 10 times quieter than any other
movable wall product on the market today.
"Voice and noise privacy are
paramount to an effective office environment". Mr. Gaffney continued, "INFINIUM
is the first to combine all the benefits of movable walls with superior
acoustical performance".
INFINIUMS’ Wall System is the first movable wall
to provide the privacy needed in today's office environment. Additionally, it
was designed and engineered to fully integrate with furniture, communications
and power with multiple elevation and design options.
Borne of
experience, INFINIUM Architectural Wall Systems is a synergy of European flair,
sustainable engineering and uncompromising customer fulfillment. Customers
