Adding acoustic foam to wall art

2010-09-17T17:09:00.000+01:00

The EyeSpace Frame range of wall artwork is becoming a popular choice for specifiers who are looking for a simple and cost-effective way to add graphic images to corporate office interiors. And we are frequently asked whether we can add acoustic foam to the frames so that the artwork can act to reduce sound dreflection in meeting rooms and corridor spaces.

The answer is most definately YES. The EyeSpace frames are ideally suited to house the acoustic foam and because the printed fabric graphic panels are stretched across to the front face there is no special modification required. The foam sits invisibly behind the fabric and we can offer a choice of 20mm or 40mm thickness, depending on which frame size is selected.

Why spending money on wall artwork makes sound commercial sense

OK - so you've just spent tens of thousands of pounds on stripping out and refitting your corporate offices. The new carpets are down, the furniture is in place, the new IT and and telephone systems are up and running and the staff have moved back in. But something's wrong... it looks just like the pictures in the furniture catalogue, but it doesn't have any personality or soul! People are feeling disorientated, and morale is low.

So now it's time to add a bit of individuality and to break out of the mould. One of the best ways is create some dramatic statements with wall-mounted artwork and graphic images. Office walls, meeting rooms, corridors, break-out areas and reception spaces - all these will benefit from carefully-selected and well executed pieces of artwork. But now we come to another stumbling block... busy office managers and relocation teams don't have time to search for the right images and artwork, and don't know where to go to get the right quality of product manufactured.

Enter EyeSpace - this takes both headaches away and provides a quick, simple and effective way to choose images and products. The EyeSpace Frame range allows high quality artwork to be printed onto fabric panels that are then fitted into slimline aluminium frames ready for mounting onto walls. The EyeSpace website has a wide range of exciting and colourful images that can be selected, or clients can supply their own images for printing. So corporate themes, inspirational motifs, colour-coded areas and subject-related sets of images can all be easily achieved.

The result is sleek, sophisticated and simple to install. And an added benefit of the EyeSpace range is that the printed fabric panels can be replaced and updated at any time without having to demount or dismantle the frames on the wall. So by allowing a modest sum to add wall artwork to your fit-out budget you can add great value to the end result and create a working environment that staff and visitors will enjoy.

Personal space makes for happy employees

Space is at a premium in almost every office and workspace. Contemporary furniture systems allow for very flexible configurations of space and ergonomic desking and seating have much improved the comfort and quality of life for employees. And yet there is very often something missing - some softer elements to contrast with all the hard-edged equipment. Also, large open-plan spaces with endless seas of desks can be quite intimidating. People have an innate desire to have areas that they can feel are their own territory and that stand apart from the corporate uniformity.

That's where the EyeSpace range of Screen products come into their own. These are large, floor-to-ceiling printed fabric screens and are the ideal way to introduce dramatic graphics and exciting colour into any workspace. The fabric is printed both sides in perfect register, and is semi-transparent so that it does not block out light or obscure lines of sight. Mounted where natural light can fall on them, they change during the course of the day - sometimes looking very see-through and sometimes displaying their colour with full intensity.

EyeSpace provides a wide range of images that can be selected using their online visualisation tool, or customers can supply their own images. All are available for selection and purchase through the EyeSpace online shop.

On a technical note, the screens use high quality, slimline aluminium rails at head and foot to support the printed fabric. The fabric panels slide in and out of a neat, recessed channel and, if you fancy a change of image, new panels can be swapped for old without having to demount the hardware. They use a tensioned wire mounting system at the top, and attach to the floor with flexible elastc cord so they can cope with the bumps and knocks of office life.

So use these EyeSpace Screens to create soft divisions between workgroups, to create more privacy in breakout areas or simply to add some bold graphic statements to an otherwise bland corporate space. Your staff will love you for it! They can be used singly, or are particularly effective when used in sets of three panels as an EyeSpace Triple Screen. They take up much less space than conventional office dividers, are very quick and easy to install. They can be relocated whenever required, and offer excellent value for money.
