Why use acoustic wood?

Wood, due to its particular cellular structure, has better soundproofing capacity than many materials and provides harmonious acoustics

The acoustic properties of wood

Sound insulation of timber constructions is usually achieved by using multi-layered construction structures.

To achieve this, an empty cavity is created behind the wooden panel and backed by an absorbent material, for example, a layer of thermal insulation. Once paired up, a resonant plate is formed , that will effectively dampen disturbing bass sounds in light structures when it vibrates.

By making formwork or by drilling the surfaces of wood, one obtains resonators with holes and slits which also dampen mid high-pitched sounds.
