Inspiration for our homes

Troldtekt acoustic panels have unique sound-absorbing properties and ensure superior acoustics in, for example, private homes

We spend most of our time in our homes – sometimes perhaps even many of our working hours. This is where we spend time together with our nearest and dearest. This is where we recharge our batteries, where our children grow up, and where we live our lives. 

In this feature, you can read how sustainability, a healthy indoor climate with superior acoustics and elegant design can all be combined in private homes. Moreover, see what a difference choosing the right materials makes for the overall acoustic comfort.

The feature also showcases newbuilds and refurbished homes where the architects and clients have devoted considerable time and attention to the details.

Significant alterations needed to brand-new family home

A new build is no guarantee of good acoustics. This is what the Boje family found on moving into their new home in Solbjerg near Aarhus. New Troldtekt acoustic panels had to be installed on the ceilings before the property finally started to feel like a home.

Office building design

More working-from-home days and online meetings have become the new normal. The corona pandemic and the need for better access to digital forms of collaboration mean new requirements for the design of the physical office. It has, for example, resulted in a need for more small meeting rooms and break-out zones than in the past.

Healthy schools of the future

Schoolchildren are our future. There is therefore every reason to ensure that they have the best possible facilities in which to develop and learn. However, every day the school bell rings at far too many run-down schools where a poor indoor climate is the norm.
