The installation of a ventilation louvers is essential to renew the air in a building. Your company (commercial, industrial, boiler rooms, data centers, etc.) may even need to install a special ventilation louvers : a phonic ventilation louvers.
Why install an acoustic ventilation louvers ?
An acoustic ventilation louvers can be installed for a number of reasons, as we’ll see in this article. What’s more, certain fields of activity are more likely to need this type of louvers. Let’s take a look at these areas together.
What is the purpose of a soundproof ventilation louvers?
Known as acoustic or phonic ventilation louvers, their main purpose is to attenuate noise from a variety of sources:
- Outside noise: traffic noise, construction noise, etc.
- Interior noise: to limit music or shouting from inside a building.
- Ventilation noise. Special ventilation louvers are available to reduce ventilation noise. These louvers can be placed in a variety of locations.
As its name suggests, a soundproof ventilation louvers helps to restrict the propagation of noise. No matter where the noise comes from. Some louvers are adapted to suit whether the noise comes from inside, outside or from the ventilation itself.
However, it should not be forgotten that the primary function of this ventilation louvers is also to ventilate the room. It renews and purifies the air inside the building. The aim is to bring in fresh, pure air so that everyone in the building can breathe healthy air. It also helps to keep the building’s interior in good condition over the long term, to avoid any deterioration due to humidity.
A ventilation louvers is essential for all types of construction. However, an acoustic ventilation louvers is more interesting for certain fields of activity. Let’s take a look at them.
Areas of activity that may need Groupe BOËT acoustic ventilation louvers.
In fact, buildings intended for certain areas of activity must be fitted with acoustic ventilation louvers. The aim is to ensure the smooth running of the business by avoiding any negative externalities linked to noise from outside. But also, to avoid imposing certain noise constraints on the neighborhood.
For example, certain activities need to limit noise from inside their building. As with all buildings, for example, nightclubs need to be equipped with ventilation to allow proper ventilation of the building, but not with just any ventilation louvers.
In this case, acoustic ventilation louvers need to be installed so that noise and music don’t disturb neighbors and outsiders in the street. This is also the case for certain schools, for example. They can install acoustic ventilation louvers to limit the diffusion of children’s cries.
Then, on the other hand, some buildings need the best possible insulation from outside noise. Indeed, some corporate offices located in the city need to be insulated with acoustic ventilation louvers. In fact, these specific louvers will limit noise from outside, such as from city traffic or construction work.
