Acoustics in a dome shaped building

Acoustical problems often arise in a dome shaped building where sound reflections are reflected back to the centre of the room. Ecophon Focus Focus Flexiform is a flexible acoustic panel that solves these problems. It is flat when delivered and can be formed on site into a concave or convex form by means of special profiles (200 mm-min.radius). Because of the nature of the surface, light entering at low angles should be avoided.

 

In the case Ecophon Focus Flexiform has been used with a customised cross in MDF-board. The cross not only connects the profi les, but also visually emphasises the crossings. A trim in MDF-board has been used at the junction with the wall, separating the ceiling and the curved wall. The distance minimises the effect of an uneven wall. Panels are cut on site, using a pattern from Ecophon (three different types of panels).
