Education Sector

Good classroom acoustics has a direct impact on the clarity of communication between students and teachers, affecting both the learning process and the physical and psychological health of both.

Noise disturbances can greatly impede the transfer and absorption of knowledge as they compromise the students’ capacity to concentrate and learn, and the teachers’ ability to project their voices and control the classroom.

The negative impacts of noise on well-being include an increased heart rate, raised blood pressure and reduced oxygen in the blood. All of this translates into barriers to optimal educational achievement. For example, research has shown that reading scores for children in ‘noisy’ classrooms are around one year behind those in ‘quiet’ classrooms.

Our Drywall and ceiling acoustic solutions are purpose-built to limit noise distractions, so that students can focus and pay closer attention, can hear and be heard clearly, can concentrate when reading and preparing work, and can ultimately learn more effectively

Schools are subjected to extreme wear and tear as a result of the energetic activity, sports equipment, and rucksacks of a multitude of students.

This is especially prevalent in passageways where walls can become easily and badly damaged. In addition to affecting the aesthetics and maintenance costs, the physicality and physical obstacles can lead to injuries, putting student and staff safety at risk. Fire safety is the other major concern in schools.
