ACOUSTICS
A room’s acoustics have an enormous influence on employee productivity. Intelligent acoustic office planning promotes satisfaction and efficiency - and can yield performance improve-ments of up to 52 %. The sound-absorbing front and back walls of Bene storage systems make an essential contribution to a pleasant acoustic ambience.


Acoustic horizontal tambour
Tambour shell 12 mm, micro-perforated (14 % holes, Ø 1.9 mm), interior side with acoustic fleece, absorption α_w = 0.7 filled / 0.65 empty.



Acoustic back wall
For all closing mechanisms: fine chipboard 16 mm, perforated (17 % holes, Ø 3 mm), interior side with acoustic fleece, absorption α_w = 0.9 filled / 0.8 empty.



Acoustic sliding door
Fine chipboard 16 mm, perforated (17 % holes, Ø 3 mm), interior side with acoustic fleece, absorption α_w = 0.9 filled / 0.8 empty.



Fabric surfaces
The use of fabric further optimizes acoustic qualities:

Gliding door with fabric front (aluminium frame covered with mesh on 19 mm chipboard)


Fabric back wall for all closure mechanisms (16 mm chipboard, covered in fabric)



Acoustic absorber class

A α_w 0,9 - 1,0
B α_w 0,8 - 0,85
C α_w 0,6 - 0,75
D α_w 0,3 - 0,55
E α_w 0,15 - 0,25

For example α_w=0,9: 90% of the sound that occurs is absorbed, only 10% of the sound is reflected into the room.
