Speech Privacy

Speech privacy is critical for human resources, executive offices, conference rooms and any healthcare space where personal information is being shared. If someone overhears sensitive information, it could alter corporate negotiations or violate HIPAA regulations. Additionally, sound and noise from adjacent spaces or machinery can be distracting, cause fatigue and reduce employee productivity. When soundproofing for speech privacy, the traditional approach is to use sound masking systems. We also offer PrivacyShield® products which put a sound barrier in place between you and the noise source, eliminating the need for sound masking. PrivacyShield® Ceiling Tile Barriers are installed on top of existing ceiling tiles and add mass to block sound. PrivacyShield® Desktop Partition enhances privacy by creating a semi-enclosed space on any flat surface. PrivacyShield® Light Hoods install over the existing lights to reduce sound transmission, while allowing required airflow. PrivacyShield® Plenum Return Silencers reduce the amount of sound that can pass into the ceiling plenum system. PrivacyShield® Room Kits provide the appropriate material to block the transmission of speech through a ceiling grid for a 12'x12' room. PrivacyShield® Window Seal Kit lowers the amount of sound that may pass through a window and provides thermal insulation.
