Individual acoustic solutions down to the smallest detail
One of our latest projects is this 240 sqm coworking space at TH Wildau. Measure the drill holes with a laser measuring device, mark them, drill the holes, insert the dowels, attach the wire ropes and the baffle elements and adjust them. That, in a nutshell, is the standard process our installation crew uses to mount our apn® Lamella acoustic baffles to the ceiling.
The client’s wish was not only to significantly reduce the hall’s reverberation time, but also to create a shade underneath the atrium with the acoustic solution. Due to the existing steel construction and the wishes of the clientele, a new fastening option for our apn® Lamella was sought for this project.
Where locomotives were once manufactured, our acoustic baffles now hang neatly from the steel girders with the help of girder clamps. The mounting system also proved to be an uncomplicated and quick installation solution. In no time at all, a baffle ceiling was created that blends seamlessly with the supporting structure to create a modern overall appearance.
A big thank you to our installation crew who made this happen at about 6 meters with their know-how and experience. Once again we could rely on the expertise and experience of our team – where would we be without you?!
International Noise Awareness Day 2023 – Turn it down
What is noise? How does it occur and how can noise be prevented? Even our little ones are moved by this topic. In the course of their project day two weeks ago, the schoolchildren from the “Am Kaiserholz” kindergarden in Neustadt visited our shipyard.
After the children made themselves comfortable on our apn® Cube seating cubes in the captain’s lounge, our guests pricked up their little ears and listened attentively to our captain. First came a short “theory unit”: playfully and child-friendly with visual plus auditory examples, our captain took the children on an exciting journey into the world of acoustics.
He illustrated what noise is and what sound waves have to do with the creation of noise. Also why it is so important that we as a company have taken on this problem and how many people as well as departments are needed to manufacture and market the room acoustics solutions. Afterwards, everyone went on a discovery tour through our production halls and offices. There was plenty to marvel at, touch and try out.
The highlight was the final try and craft activity. Among other things, the children were able to try out and experience the effect of sound waves with can telephones. It was sanded, painted and glued with fabric scraps from our upholstery. At the end, every child had their own individual wooden school cone as a souvenir in their hands.
An exciting, informative and fun morning for all came to an end. We are already looking forward to a repeat!
News from the Ideenwerft
After our apn® Gig XL snagged the #10 spot on OFFICE ROXX’s Top 100 Office Solutions 2023 last week, we can finally announce our Acoustic Screen upgrade. Behind closed hatches, people had been discussing and whispering for some time: it sounded as if the “Klabautermänner” were singing shantys.
So we crossed the Baltic Sea and brought in a new fabric for our apn® Gig XL. This shines in Scandinavian, simple colors and the graphic weave pattern of two different yarn colors looks like a modern fine grid structure. The result is an even more refined office accessory.
Our acoustic screen is a flexible room divider that visually and acoustically screens and optimally adapts to the new requirements of a modern office space.
We have a reason to celebrate …
… – with our apn® Gig XL we are on place 10 of the OFFICE ROXX Top 100 Office Solutions 2023!
The acoustic screen promises what the new working worlds demand: Flexibility!
The clever 2in1 solution creates small meeting corners and retreats in the office or shields the workplace in the home office in no time. At the same time, our high-performance acoustic product absorbs distracting noise, reduces reverberation and significantly improves speech intelligibility.

Object-related acoustic solutions
We cannot serve every project with our extensive standard range. When custom acoustic solutions or customer-specific design requests are required, our in-house contract construction department – our Akustikwerft – steps in. Mixing our standard portfolio with object-specific acoustic solutions is also no problem for us, as the following project shows!
After our sales representative had made an on-site visit to the client’s premises, he got down to work and came up with an acoustic concept that would suit the company and the premises.
He used acoustic products from our immense standard range: our easy-to-install, plain white acoustic ceiling sails “apn® Vinta A” and the three-dimensional fabric-covered wall absorber module “apn® Forma FH Stripes” in the company’s corporate design.
On the part of our customer the in-house graduate architect designed an own creation of our wall absorber “apn® Forma FH Free”. After checking the technical feasibility and minimal adjustments on our part, the wall absorber module was handmade in our Akustikwerft.
The acoustic and visual centerpiece of the new office space towers over two floors of the staircase, measures a proud 2.40 m x 4.80 m and consists of 15 different elements in three different thicknesses. In order to also optimally acoustically dampen the corridor area, the graduate engineer architect designed an additional “miniature” variant.
When will you start your acoustic project with us?
