In which projects are interior fire-resistant wood doors installed?

By Acoustics, Architecture, Construction, Decoration, News, Spigogroup wood projects No Comments
A client asked us a few days ago what projects we have installed for interior fire-resistant wood doors. Fire doors and FR doors are particularly resistant to fire which means they take longer to burn and therefore lengthen the time needed by a fire to spread from one room to another. We all know the huge metal fire doors that we can find in garages, discos, cinemas, shopping centres and public buildings. Aesthetically they are not a good option for other buildings. At the end of the day, until a fire occurs and fulfils its purpose, a fire door is used as a door to access a room and should be integrated into the project’s decoration. In these cases, when you need to comply with the requirements of current regulations applicable to construction in Spain (see more in this post) and once you decide to take care of aesthetic aspects, you use interior fire-resistant wood doors. They serve as an example of construction, reform, decoration and interior design projects in homes, hotels, hospitals, schools and offices, where we use interior wood doors, which also offer added resistance to fire. These wood doors for interiors can stop the spread of fire from one room to another for 30 minutes, in the case of FR-30 doors, and up to 60 minutes in the case of FR-60 doors. They are also available in MDB finishes for painting, laminated HPL Formica, veneered in wood or lacquered in different colours, to be an active part of the building's decoration.   DOWNLOAD SPIGODOOR TECHNICAL DOORS CATALOGUE .

Office ceilings that improve the look and acoustics of a workplace

By Acoustics, Architecture, Construction, Decoration, News, Spigogroup wood projects No Comments
Office of Autodesk Barcelona Office ceilings they have gone from being a forgotten and irrelevant area to being one of the points to take into account when designing the interior of a workplace. A clear example is the increasingly widespread selection of wood for office ceilings, an elegant and also very versatile material, compared to other materials that may be decoratively colder and more vulgar. Office ceilings have found their role in these projects for different reasons: . Aesthetically, they are capable, on their own, of producing a great visual impact on the user. The clearest example occurs when we use solutions with wood slats like Spigogroup did in the offices of Autodesk, the EFEBE Group, and FINSA. Or also with curved ceilings such as those installed in the offices of the Fundación Laboral para la Construcción in La Rioja. Offices of the Fundación Laboral para la Construcción in La Rioja   From the point of view of the office acoustics, office ceilings are one of the first surfaces on which to act if we want to enjoy good acoustic comfort. Both with the use of acoustic wood panels in removable ceilings (see the acoustic ceilings of Laboratorios Cinfa), as with the installation of acoustic islands (see the Monkton Combe School in Bath, England)   Office of Laboratorios CINFA . When they are accessible ceilings, they offer, in addition, the possibility of hiding pipes, cables and air conditioning, public address systems, security systems, networks, etc., (see those of the Tenerife Tax Office)   Further information at www.spigogroup.com   If you liked this post about office ceilings, you may also be interested in: . - Undulating wood ceilings of One Main Office renovation - Decorative ceilings made with wood slats at the new offices of EFEBÉ Group - Decorative ceilings that improve acoustics in enclosures - Accessible ceilings for smart offices: sensorization, big data and the dilemmas we face from technological development

By Architecture, Construction, Decoration, News No Comments
Benches for changing rooms are undoubtedly the first and most basic pieces of any changing room. In the most humble of situations a corner with a bench could already be called changing room. On the contrary, you will not find a single changing room that does not have benches to lean on and sit on while changing clothes. Normally, changing rooms are better equipped and offer more than just benches. They also have pieces of sports furniture like phenolic lockers to store bags and equipment, and phenolic cabins to change clothes or shower. At Spigocompac we manufacture the best pieces of phenolic panel sports furniture.
