Rest module silentUNIT

The silentUNIT glass acoustics system is an acoustic room partitioning system. The quiet modules are ideally suited for the sustainable acoustic refurbishment of open-plan offices. The sound barriers optimise the reverberation time and reduce the direct propagation of sound, so that disturbing speech information is reliably reduced. As a room partitioning system, the rest module divides the space without restricting transparency and open office culture. At the same time, the glass acoustic system is an effective acoustic solution. silentUNIT is a construction of frameless glass surfaces and high-performance absorbers. The glass surfaces of laminated safety glass (LSG) or toughened safety glass (ESG) provide good sound insulation. The integrated high-performance absorbers absorb sound. With the combination of sound insulation and absorption, the rest module optimises the acoustics in the office.

If one currently follows the reports in the press and on the Internet, the Corona pandemic seems to make it impossible to return to the open-plan office. From our point of view this is reason enough to take up this train of thought and really think it through. Let us compare the open-plan office, the open space, with the closed forms of cellular office and group office. Doesn't the open office space offer much more space to keep the required minimum distances. We think so! Just think of the cramped encounters in the usual cellular office corridors. Rarely is such a corridor wider than 1.40 m. Here it is simply impossible to keep the safety distance.

But it's quite different in the greater area. Here the areas are much more extensive. The central zone can be used to design traffic routes as one-way streets, so that direct encounters can be largely ruled out. It is much easier to avoid each other. A moderate settlement of the workplaces should therefore be feasible without problems. However, problems could arise at the workplace itself. The usual table blocks of 4 hardly allow the necessary distance. However, a significant increase in the spacing is not recommended for either ecological or economic reasons. Here you should think about the silentUNIT rest module. These glass acoustic screens create the necessary distance between employees and hygienically shield colleagues. At the same time, they eliminate the acoustic problems in open space, in large rooms. You don't have to do without the transparency, the direct visual contact between colleagues. Large glass surfaces maintain this important advantage of open space. Especially in times of required distances, this eye contact is crucial for fast and effective communication. All surfaces are easy to clean and resistant to disinfectants.

Certainly not all employees may be present at the same time, but just when a healthy change from "home office" and "culture of presence", i.e. working in the office, seems necessary and sensible, this open office offers advantages such as desk sharing, agile working and/or territorial working. It is precisely this office space form that allows for all the necessary scenarios to get back to "normality".

Am Arbeitsplatz selbst könnten Probleme entstehen. Die üblichen 4er Tischblöcke lassen den notwendigen Abstand kaum zu. Weder aus ökologischen, noch ökonomischne Gründen ist eine deutliche Vergrößerung der Abstände zu empfehlen. Hier sollten Sie einmal über das Ruhemodul silentUNIT nachdenken. Diese Glas-Akustik-Schirme schaffen die notwendige Distanz zwischen den Mitarbeitern, schirmen Kollegen hygienisch voneinander ab. Gleichzeitig eliminieren sie die akustischen Probleme im open space, im Großraum. Sie müssen dabei nicht auf die Transparenz, die direkten Blickbeziehungen zwischen den Kollegen verzichten. Große Glasflächen erhalten diesen wichtigen Vorteil des open space. Gerade in Zeiten gebotener Abstände ist dieser Blickkontakt entscheidend für eine schnelle und effektive Kommunikation. Alle Oberflächen sind leicht zu reinigen und resistent gegen Desinfektionsmittel.
