Closed Office
Why are Closed - Plan Private offices not Private ? Most owners or tenants do not absorb the cost and lack of flexibility to construct and properly seal wall systems in each room, provide either individually ducted supply and return-air diffuser or baffles, staggered vs. back-to-back electrical boxes, or door seals - all typically necessary to confidential speech privacy.
Most conventional acoustic ceilings are laboratory tested without light fixtures, air diffusers or return air grills - which can cause sound leaks.
VAV mechanical systems in most modern offices reduce background sound levels. Buildings are simply too quiet and conversations can easily be overheard.
The Solution
Soundmasking provides the most privacy per dollar expended, and when properly
designed, installed, and tuned will perform the critical task of covering or
blocking out speech intelligibility by occupants in adjoining spaces.
