In the modern workplace, the transition from a standard office to a high-performance environment often requires more than just new furniture. It requires a strategic approach to sound, safety, and style.
Our latest collaboration with Office Maker showcases how the right acoustic solution can solve complex structural challenges while dramatically enhancing office aesthetics.
The Challenge: Fire Protection and Safety Concerns
Following a major refurbishment, the client identified a critical need to enhance the acoustic environment and address specific health and safety concerns. The office featured industrial black cross-bracing with a specialist fire protection coating. This coating was extremely delicate and expensive to repair if chipped. Furthermore, staff were “cutting through” these braced areas, creating a significant risk for trips or head strikes.
The client needed a solution that would:
- Improve Acoustics: Soften the environment and improve sound absorption.
- Enhance Safety: Effectively block off hazardous areas without invasive construction.
- Elevate Design: Complement the recent refurbishment and soften the look of new wooden storage lockers
The Solution: Precision-Engineered EcoBoard
Office Maker selected our Emantis EcoBoard for its incredible versatility and superior acoustic performance. To meet the specific needs of this project, we provided:
- Custom Hanging Panels: We manufactured bespoke hanging panels with unique geometric cutouts to provide a visual and physical barrier around the structural bracing.
- Integrated Locker Finishes: To provide a cohesive look, we supplied pre-cut color strips tailored to the exact dimensions of the office’s wooden storage units.
- Aesthetic Flexibility: By utilizing our wide range of finishes, the team was able to complement the existing office decor seamlessly.
Business Impact & Dealer Experience
The partnership delivered significant value beyond the physical installation. James Collenette, Director at Office Maker, highlighted the competitive edge gained through this collaboration:
- Project Efficiency: Emantis products helped deliver the project cost-effectively and efficiently, leading to further opportunities to price other levels of the same building.
- Customer Satisfaction: The end client was impressed by the speed of customization and the extensive range of finishes available, which kept the project on track.
- Reliable Support: Office Maker noted that the “outstanding customer service and support” makes Emantis a go-to partner for similar future projects.
“Emantis products are high quality, efficient and cost effective. This allows us to have a competitive edge in the market, securing us new contacts along with a high customer return rate.”
