We are surrounded by noise, especially in cities. Where noise can be a huge problem is in the office: high\u00a0noise\u00a0level in the workplace decreases concentration and affects productivity.<\/p>\n
The best way to create a quiet and comfortable atmosphere is through the use of wood<\/strong>, a material that stands out for its acoustic behaviour<\/strong>.<\/p>\n It is not very common to use only wood in the construction sector; it is combined with other materials or can be found in floors, doors, walls, etc. and has a merely decorative function. But wood has a great potential<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Wittywood is the first office building in Spain that uses only wood as a construction material<\/strong> and provides benefits for both the planet and the user.<\/p>\n Sound<\/strong> is a wave that arises from the vibration of an object, creating a mechanical disturbance that causes the waves to propagate.\u00a0 As wood<\/strong> is a porous material<\/strong>, it absorbs much of the sound vibrations that are trapped in its cavities. The greater the thickness of the wood, the greater the noise blocking.\u00a0 This is how this material becomes a good insulator<\/strong>.<\/p>\n In addition, where wood is used, there is less reverberation time. In other words, there are fewer echoes and noises compared to other types of construction.<\/p>\n What’s more: wood reduces stress.<\/strong><\/p>\n Its ability to absorb noise not only affects the acoustic level of a room, it affects the wellbeing of the users, creating a unique environment that encourages concentration and creativity.<\/p>\n Working in a wooden office is an extraordinary sensory experience, it\u2019s hard to describe<\/strong>.<\/p>\n When we choose wood as a building material for an office we not only consider its renewable character but also its benefits: creating a good workplace experience<\/strong>, improving people’s stay in the building where they will spend most of their days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We are surrounded by noise, especially in cities.
