Relaxing peace and quiet for greater well-being

Acoustic demands in high-class hotels are very varied – whether it is sound absorption in high-traffic hotel foyer, optimal speech audibility in the lecture theatre, or privacy in the restaurant.

The use of drapilux akustik decorative fabrics offers ideal conditions for almost any requirements in terms of spatial acoustics, because these specially developed products have a definite sound-absorbing effect. This was impressively demonstrated in scientific tests by the Fraunhofer Institute – for spatial acoustics which meet all individual requirements.

Mechanism and effect of drapilux akustik

Sound consists of air molecules in motion.
The woven structure of drapilux akustik fabrics creates pores that partly convert the kinetic energy of the air molecules into heat energy. This means that part of the sound intensity is reduced, shortening the distance that sound travels.
The research results of the Fraunhofer Institute confirm the sound-absorbing effect of our decorative fabrics.

Advantages for all commercial properties

An unpleasant noise level is not just annoying, in all types of living or workspace, noise can actually make people ill.
By using drapilux akustik fabrics, it is possible to counteract unpleasant background noise. These specially developed textiles have a distinct, specific sound-absorbing effect, meaning that they ensure increased well-being and increased productivity.
When it comes to creating a pleasant spatial acoustic, the architecture of a building and the nature of the spaces it contains play a decisive role. Noise can come from very different sources: big rooms, high ceilings, and smooth floors significantly increase the echo in a space. Modern construction materials, such as concrete, glass, plaster and even parquet flooring absorb virtually no sound at all. If noise is produced within the space, this means there will soon be an unpleasant noise level.
Permanent background noise can quickly lead to reduced concentration and a considerable increase in stress. Even a person's mood can be significantly impaired by an unpleasant spatial acoustic. In this respect, drapilux akustik can go a long way to help create healthy living and working space.
Drapilux is the attractive and cost-effective alternative to conventional sound absorbers – but it is just as effective. The range of possibilities for implementation (space dividers, wall and ceiling coverings, sails and curtains) allows each space to be individually adapted to create the required acoustic.

Drapilux Air® and Drapilux Bioaktiv®

It's absolutely amazing that such an invention has not been launched earlier - Dipl. Ing. Andreas Metzger.
Amazement and excitement - this is the typical response to drapilux air, the new generation of fabrics that offer new and long-lasting extra benefits.
Tobacco smoke and unpleasant smells such as ammonia are eliminated. Hazardous substances and toxins such as formaldehyde, acetaldehyde or nicotine are eliminated fully or in part - by the fabric itself - without cleaning or spraying. This is thanks to a novel, patented active agent and Schmitz-Werke's (our parent company) idea to integrate it into flame-resistant Trevira CS Fabrics

The active agent in drapilux air works according to the catalyst principle. As soon as the moving air brings gas molecules in contact with the fabric, drapilux air starts an absorption, elimination and conversion process. Using this latest technology the result can be felt: the air is perceived as cleaner and fresher: and the air is healthier.

Whether it's an office, or a hotel, a hospital or a nursing home, a clinic or old people's home, a cruise ship or your own home - drapilux air means added freshness and well being.
 

Bioaktiv takes it one step further.

The drapilux solution for strict hygiene standards - using antimicrobial fibres.
Still based on our winning Trevira CS fabric drapilux bioaktiv gives permanent protection against mico-organisms, including all common forms and types of bacteria. Harmless silver ions on a ceramic base are impregnated into the fabric during production - there is no need to add any agent later in the product's life. The active substance is bonded into the fibre. Therefore there is no migration to the skin, the fabric is wash resistant. Additionally the fabric does not cause environmental pollution thanks to the use of chloro-organic compounds - they cannot be washed out.
