Creating distinct spaces and ensuring a level of privacy suitable for all activities is an essential requirement in modern workplaces. That’s why choosing high-quality, Italian-made soundproof office partition walls is more than just a design decision—it’s a productivity booster.
The Importance of Acoustic Insulation in the Office and Soundproof Office Partition Walls
Whether it’s open spaces or private offices, the layout and usage of workplace environments differ significantly. Open spaces promote collaboration and the continuous exchange of ideas among colleagues. However, this can quickly become disruptive when tasks requiring deep concentration arise. On the other hand, private offices serve as tranquil oases—provided they are enclosed with soundproof partition walls that block out external noise and create an ideal environment for focused work.
Glass or solid partitions allow for flexible space division while offering excellent acoustic insulation, ensuring the ideal balance between openness and privacy.
What Defines Soundproof Office Partition Walls?
Soundproof solutions for offices come in a variety of forms, from solid to glazed partitions, with varying levels of acoustic insulation tailored to the specific needs of the workspace.
Acoustic PVB in Glazed Partition Walls
Level Office Landscape’s glazed soundproof partition walls utilize PVB (polyvinyl butyral) to bond the glass components of the partitions and enhance acoustic insulation. While the standard PVB thickness of 0.38 mm is effective, it can be increased to improve the wall’s noise reduction performance. Specifically, the Planet Plus and Planilux Plus double-glass models can feature PVB layers of up to 0.76 mm for enhanced soundproofing.
Mineral Fibers and Rock Wool for Solid Partitions
For solid partitions, soundproofing can be achieved using various materials embedded within the walls, such as mineral fibers like rock wool or polyester fiber, and even lead. Thanks to their porous structures, these materials absorb sound waves. The process is simple: sound energy bounces off the material’s surface, generating heat and allowing the fibers to trap disruptive noise waves effectively.
Natural alternatives include highly flexible compressed cork panels with a high specific weight and smoothed surfaces, or “sandwich” panels made of plant-based batting with a damping laminate core. These soundproof solutions turn traditional partition walls into architectural elements with advanced acoustic properties.
Acoustic Fabrics
For phone booths, meeting rooms, or private offices, soundproofing solid walls can also be achieved with acoustic fabrics. These materials, such as eco-friendly felt are thin, anti-reverberation layers with a natural and warm texture made from recycled plastic bottles. Soft to the touch, they also double as decorative elements for office spaces and can be customized with geometric patterns, images, or cut-out designs, adding both functionality and visual appeal.
Micro-Perforated Wooden Panels
Solid office partitions can also be soundproofed with micro-perforated wooden panels, renowned for their excellent acoustic properties. These panels, often used for ceiling applications, have a natural and elegant appearance. Composed of slats with a perforated MDF surface, available in veneered, lacquered, or laminated finishes, they deliver exceptional acoustic performance by dissipating sound through their porous structure.
Choosing the Right Soundproof Office Partition Walls
Level Office Landscape offers a wide range of soundproof partition options, which can be customized to meet specific needs. After a thorough analysis of the workspace and its functional requirements, the technical team will recommend the most suitable solutions, considering both the desired level of acoustic insulation and the materials and finishes.
