Fully Absorbing Ceiling: Ten Conversations Won't Be Noisy

A ceiling that does not reflect sound. It is made of dark sound-absorbing material: fabric-covered soft panels, perforated dark wood grilles, or sprayed acoustic layers, with a subtle texture that is almost invisible in the dark. The upper half of the walls is treated similarly. Because sound is absorbed, even when full, one can hear the quiet beyond the adjacent table. The carpet on the floor eliminates footsteps. Avoid: using smooth, hard ceilings, making all walls hard surfaces, using hard flooring, creating shapes and reflective surfaces on the ceiling.

一面不反射聲音的天花。它是深色的吸音材:布面包覆的軟板、開孔的深色木格、或噴塗的吸音層,表面有細微的紋理但在暗處幾乎看不見。牆面的上半段也做了同樣的處理。因為聲音被吃掉,即使滿座也聽得到隔壁桌以外的安靜。地面的地毯把腳步聲一起消掉。避免:使用平滑的硬質天花、讓牆面全部是硬表面、使用硬質地板、在天花做造型與反射面。
