We talk to renowned Acoustic Expert, David Gnanaseharam, as he delves into the prevalent issue of the acoustic false claims we are seeing in our industry. In this enlightening discussion, David uncovers the critical importance of obtaining third-party accredited acoustic test data, the repercussions of companies making false claims about their products' acoustic performance, and offers valuable advice to architects, designers, and main contractors on specifying for optimal acoustic performance.
1. The significance of third-party accredited acoustic test data
David begins by shedding light on the crucial role of third-party accredited acoustic test data for companies in the glass partitioning industry. Acoustic performance is a vital aspect of any building, particularly in office spaces and other commercial environments where noise levels significantly impact productivity and well-being. By obtaining third-party accredited acoustic test data, companies ensure transparency, accuracy, and credibility in their claims about their products' acoustic properties. Such data offers clients the assurance they need while making informed decisions, fostering trust in the industry, and promoting a healthier acoustic environment for users.
2. The perils of false acoustic claims and implications on health
We then explore the alarming issues surrounding companies that engage in false claims regarding the acoustic performance of their products. Such deceptive practices not only mislead customers but also have adverse consequences on users' health. In spaces where acoustic performance is subpar, employees may experience increased stress, reduced concentration, and decreased productivity. Prolonged exposure to excessive noise levels can even lead to long-term health problems such as, hearing impairment, and other stress-related disorders. David emphasises the urgency of tackling these false claims to create healthier and more productive workspaces.
3. Advice for specifying acoustic performance
David offers insightful advice to architects, designers, and main contractors when specifying for glass partition acoustic performance. He emphasises the importance of requesting full test data from suppliers, which should be readily available for reputable companies. Architects and designers, in collaboration with main contractors, are well within their rights to demand this information to ensure that the specified glass partitioning systems meet the required acoustic standards.
David poses an essential question: "If a supplier possesses the acoustic test data, why would they withhold it?" Transparent and trustworthy companies will readily provide this data, demonstrating their commitment to delivering genuine and high-quality acoustic glass partitioning solutions.
David showcases the pressing issue of acoustic false claims within the glass partitioning industry. By emphasising the significance of third-party accredited acoustic test data, the interview promotes transparency and credibility in the industry. It also highlights the adverse effects of false acoustic claims on users' health and well-being. Architects, designers, and main contractors are encouraged to prioritize acoustic performance and diligently seek complete test data when specifying glass partitioning systems.
