Churches and chapels
Churches and chapels
Churches and chapels are known for their impressive architecture, high vaults, and spacious volumes. Although these elements contribute to the unique appearance of the building, they often also result in a long reverberation time and limited speech intelligibility.
In the repurposing of churches and chapels into, for example, cultural spaces, meeting locations, offices, restaurants, or public buildings, good room acoustics are essential. Without appropriate acoustic measures, conversations, presentations, and activities may be hindered by disruptive echoes and excessive reverberation.
Acoustic solutions for historic buildings
Akomo offers effective acoustic solutions that are specially suitable for large and high spaces. Our products are made from high-quality Basotect® melamine foam, a lightweight material with excellent sound-absorbing properties.
Thanks to its low weight and easy processability, our solutions can be discreetly integrated into existing buildings without compromising their architectural or historical character.
Less reverberation, more comfort
By strategically adding sound-absorbing elements, the reverberation time can be significantly reduced. This improves:
- speech intelligibility;
- listening comfort;
- user experience;
- acoustic quality of the space;
- the usability of the building for new functions.
Customization for every project
Every church and chapel has unique architectural features. Therefore, we assist architects, builders, heritage authorities, and project developers with tailored advice, acoustic calculations, and product choices tailored to the specific space.
With Akomo's solutions, we create a pleasant acoustic environment where heritage, design, and acoustic comfort come together perfectly.
