Things to consider when buying floor screens for schools
1. First, a misconception: "There is complete silence behind a floor screen"
The most common misconception about floor screens is that there is complete silence behind a floor screen. That is not how they work. A floor screen will reduce the volume of normal conversations, but the student will hear their table neighbor behind a floor screen if they are sitting right next to them.
2. Height and width determine the soundproofing effect of a screen wall
The higher and wider a floor screen is, the better its effect will be.
To give an example, a floor screen with a height of about 1300-1500 mm attenuates the sound at the student's desk, but the teacher's view remains the same.
3. You need several floor screens in a row for a good result
Floor screens are good at reducing how "far" a conversation is heard in the room. With several floor screens one after the other, this sound reduction effect becomes tangible. Each additional screen you add reduces how far sound is heard in your room.
4. Don't forget the "rest"!
Always combine your floor screens with sound absorbers on the walls, upholstered furniture, sound absorbing table tops, different types of furniture pads and other textiles to reduce the sound level and reduce noise.
