Moving Designs exceeds the expectations in the educational sector Having a strong presence in the educational sector Moving Designs were specified by a Specialist Arts College in Hampshire with in excess of 2000 students on its roll, to replace their two outdated and ineffective acoustic movable walls in their classrooms. The scope was a robust system that was reliable, functional and offers strong acoustics properties within their budgetary constraints. “In introducing movable walls into the education sector, there are clear regulatory requirements to consider − not least the need to comply with the building regulations set out in Building Bulletin 93. This recognises the background noise and sound intrusion that can cause issues in open-plan lay-outs and calls for appropriate insulation in multi-functional space. It also sets out a minimum expected standard for the acoustic design of schools and specifically a 35db limit for indoor ambient noise levels” Our Prestige partitions were more than capable of meeting and exceeding the required levels, consideration was also given to the surrounding structure ensuring there was no sound leakage, known as “flanking transmission.” Ensuring that all flanking elements were fully and appropriately sealed and insulated, this was critical in achieving the required dB rating. To avoid any disruption to the college timetable our highly experienced fitters undertook this installation on a Sunday. Not only was our customer highly impressed with the timely manner of this installation but with the strong acoustic properties of the partition, combined with ease of operation and flexible design. Another snag free installation from Moving Designs!!
