Hospital and healthcare acoustics in Slovenia
Two duties at once: privacy where confidential conversations happen, and a lower noise floor where people are trying to rest. Hygiene and cleanability rule out a lot of products before acoustics is even discussed. Mechanical ventilation in newer buildings and radiators in older stock, with split units throughout.
- Consulting room privacy
- Speech privacy between rooms, which is partition, door and ceiling void work.
- Ward noise floor
- Alarms, trolleys and staff conversation in hard corridors. Absorption at the ceiling.
- Cleanability
- Non shedding, non absorbent surfaces that survive a cleaning regime.

What this material is and where it earns its place in Slovenia
Two duties at once: privacy where confidential conversations happen, and a lower noise floor where people are trying to rest. Hygiene and cleanability rule out a lot of products before acoustics is even discussed.
Mechanical ventilation in newer buildings and radiators in older stock, with split units throughout.
Work reaching us from Slovenia is mostly timber and alpine buildings, hotels, offices, schools, manufacturing, hospitals.
- Timber construction Light structures pass low frequency easily, so mass and decoupling do the work rather than more absorption.
- The port is the country Koper is a short run from almost everywhere in Slovenia, and it is a route we already operate constantly. That keeps cost and timing predictable.
- Alpine hospitality Resort refurbishment happens in a short window between seasons, so real dates matter more than a marginally better price.
- Consulting room privacy Speech privacy between rooms, which is partition, door and ceiling void work.
Full specification
Thickness, density, NRC by frequency, fire class, standard sizes and build-up detail for healthcare acoustics are on the main product page. This page covers what that means for a project in Slovenia.
02 / The build-up
What goes where, from the structure in
-
Layer 1
PET felt acoustic panels
A rigid non-woven panel pressed from 100% polyester fibre, a large part of it recycled. In Slovenia, mechanical ventilation in newer buildings and radiators in older stock, with split units throughout.
Over a porous backing. Panel over mineral or PET backing where the room needs genuine low mid control.
-
Layer 2
Acoustic carpet and rugs
A tile carpet with a dense polyester face on a felt backing. In Slovenia, church buildings, civic halls and auditoria are hard volumes with long reverberation.
Loose lay on tackifier. Tiles lifted individually for access under a raised floor, which is why tile beats broadloom in an office.
-
Layer 3
Acoustic panels
The full absorber range rather than one product: plain PET felt, printed felt, grooved panels and fabric finishes, chosen by how the room is used and how it has to look. In Slovenia, school buildings are hard surfaced with long corridors, and gymnasiums double as assembly halls.
Ceiling first. In most rooms the ceiling is the largest untreated surface and the cheapest square metre of result.
We would rather argue about the build-up at design stage than on site. See how we support architects.
03 / On the ground
What the buildings in Slovenia do to the specification
- Timber construction
Light structures pass low frequency easily, so mass and decoupling do the work rather than more absorption.
- The port is the country
Koper is a short run from almost everywhere in Slovenia, and it is a route we already operate constantly. That keeps cost and timing predictable.
- Alpine hospitality
Resort refurbishment happens in a short window between seasons, so real dates matter more than a marginally better price.
- Specified carefully
Work here arrives with numbers attached. Send us the target and we will say plainly what our material reaches.
- Plant and HVAC
Mechanical ventilation in newer buildings and radiators in older stock, with split units throughout.
04 / Room by room
Space by space, for Slovenia briefs
-
Consulting room privacy
Speech privacy between rooms, which is partition, door and ceiling void work. Light structures pass low frequency easily, so mass and decoupling do the work rather than more absorption.
- Ceiling baffles and clouds, 100% PET non-woven, the panel family
- Acoustic carpet and rugs, 4 mm
- SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl, STC 34, 8.4 kg per sq m
-
Ward noise floor
Alarms, trolleys and staff conversation in hard corridors. Absorption at the ceiling. Koper is a short run from almost everywhere in Slovenia, and it is a route we already operate constantly. That keeps cost and timing predictable.
- Ceiling baffles and clouds, 9 to 24 mm
- Acoustic carpet and rugs, High density polyester
- SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl, 12.6 kg per sq m, STC on request
-
Cleanability
Non shedding, non absorbent surfaces that survive a cleaning regime. Resort refurbishment happens in a short window between seasons, so real dates matter more than a marginally better price.
- Ceiling baffles and clouds, Made to the drawing, standard and custom
- Acoustic carpet and rugs, Felt
- SoundBlanket mass loaded vinyl, 5 x 1.2 m, 6 sq m per roll
For a Slovenia interior where the finish leads, we will say plainly what each option costs you acoustically. See how we work with interior designers.
04 / Climate and durability
Durability in Slovenia, before acoustics is discussed
Slovenia is cool and damp, with long heating seasons and cold external walls, and that narrows the material list before acoustics is discussed.
Cold wall build-ups and long heating seasons mean interstitial condensation is a real risk behind any lining. PET felt is unaffected by damp air and will not feed mould where a fabric-faced mineral product would.
The failure we design against here is condensation behind linings in older, poorly insulated stock.
Consultants get the raw data, not a sales sheet. That is the whole of our side of the job, and it is set out under working with acoustic consultants.
06 / Before you buy
Where this kind of project usually fails
-
Fabric wrapped products in a clinical area
Noise with a source is fixed at the source. Treating the receiving room is the expensive way to get a small result.
-
Absorption used where privacy was the requirement
Privacy is a transmission problem. Absorption makes the room sound nicer and does not stop anyone hearing through the wall.
-
Ceiling void left open above a partition
Square metre for square metre the ceiling is the cheapest result in the room. Skipping it and buying wall panels instead is the most common way to overspend.
-
Treating it as a generic Slovenia job
Light structures pass low frequency easily, so mass and decoupling do the work rather than more absorption.
05 / Logistics
How material reaches a Slovenia site
| Ships from | Palwal, Haryana, India |
|---|---|
| Arrives at | Koper, then a short road run to site |
| Dispatch | 4 to 7 working days |
| Freight | Sea into Koper |
| Support | Drawings, build-ups, BOQ and material that arrives complete |
Standard items dispatch in 4 to 7 working days. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
Sea freight direct into Koper, then a short road run to site. Air freight for samples and urgent quantities.
Questions from Slovenia projects
What makes hospital and healthcare acoustics different in Slovenia?
Mechanical ventilation in newer buildings and radiators in older stock, with split units throughout. Koper is a short run from almost everywhere in Slovenia, and it is a route we already operate constantly. That keeps cost and timing predictable.
Where should the budget go first on a Slovenia project?
Consulting room privacy. Speech privacy between rooms, which is partition, door and ceiling void work. Ward noise floor. Alarms, trolleys and staff conversation in hard corridors. Absorption at the ceiling.
Do you have an office or installation team in Slovenia?
No. We manufacture in India and supply into Slovenia. We give you drawings, build-ups, a BOQ and material that arrives complete, and we will tell you plainly when a job needs a local contractor we cannot be.
How does material get to a Slovenia site?
ships from: Palwal, Haryana, India, arrives at: Koper, then a short road run to site, dispatch: 4 to 7 working days. Standard items dispatch in 4 to 7 working days. Grooved panels and custom colours take longer, and we say so before you order, not after.
What goes wrong most often on this kind of project?
Fabric wrapped products in a clinical area. Absorption used where privacy was the requirement.
What do you need from us to quote?
A plan, a section through the critical partition or ceiling, and what the room is for. From that we can give a build-up and a BOQ rather than a price per square foot.
Next step
Tell us the room, we will tell you the build-up
We quote from drawings, not from a square foot rate. Send a plan and the section through the critical wall or ceiling and you will get something you can actually build from.
