Affordable sound solutions for interior ceilings can be challenging in commercial projects with tight budgets.
For a successful space a balance of budget, aesthetics, and acoustic performance needs to be considered.
Interior ceilings can be anything from simple to extravagant architectural pieces. However, if there is little consideration for sound solutions, then this will lead to poor acoustics.
Fixing these omissions later can mean pushing a project beyond its financial expectations, causing more frustration for you and your clients.
MaxiBeam is a lightweight feature beam system that complements visually and acoustically by integrating our Echotone® sound-absorbing panels. It is perfect for wall and ceiling systems and gives designers the freedom to balance acoustic needs and beautiful design integrity without exceeding budgets.
We share 3 clever and easy ways to create a beautiful specification without the fear of your design being systematically removed due to financial strains.
Here are a few clever ways to space the beams while maintaining excellent sound control and visual beauty:
1. Get Strategic with your Beam Spacing:
Examine your areas to determine which are high-priority and low-priority zones.
In low-priority areas, increase the spacing between the MaxiBeams, along with specifying our EchoTone acoustic backing board. This reduces material costs, while still offering effective sound solutions in areas where noise management is essential, such as high-traffic or reverberant areas.
2. Use of Smaller Sections:
Opt for shorter beam sections in lower-traffic areas. This enables a beautiful cohesive design without the need for full-length beams, helping you stay within budget while still delivering great sound solutions.
3. Pattern Play:
Visual interest doesn’t always mean having more of something. Using varying beam lengths and depths can also achieve this.
Beam variations give you more freedom to place beams farther apart where sound solutions aren’t as critical, while still concentrating them where sound control plays a larger role.
MaxiBeam is high performance, lightweight and easily to install. It provides flexible sound solutions that fit within your budget, allowing you to create spaces with both exceptional acoustics and visual appeal.
