MEDIA INFORMATION Heike Bering, your press contact T +49(0)711 7451 759-15 · heike.bering@bering-kopal.de WORKING AT A DISTANCE The Rossoacoustic CP30 panel system can be used to shield workplaces and is easy to disinfect. Its acoustic effectiveness makes the system relevant beyond specific temporary use and therefore extremely sustainable. Safety and protection against infection are a priority in all areas of life. That's a new concept and will remain with us for a long time throughout the pandemic. In all areas of everyday life, products are now needed that help us to adapt quickly and easily to the new situation. Like the Nimbus Group's Rossoacoustic CP30 panel and partition system for example, which can also be a permanent feature at the workplace. GREAT BENEFIT IN THE OFFICE: ACOUSTICALLY EFFECTIVE AND EASY TO CLEAN Originally developed to acoustically shield workplace while still letting light get through, the translucent/transparent Rossoacoustic CP30 Rossoacoustic panel system now takes on a further function: creating the necessary distance between colleagues while providing a certain amount of protection against infection. Uncomplicated cleaning and disinfection are also key requirements that are met by Rossoacoustic CP30. "In contrast to the smooth, closed plexiglass surfaces currently being used as a make-shift corona solution in offices, the Rossoacoustic CP30 system with its special microperforations has the outstanding advantage of retaining a balance between the desired speech intelligibility and reverberation time between the protective walls. Unlike our microperforated system, the closed surfaces normally being offered reflect sound, which quickly leads to the perception of unwanted noise and thus disturbs concentration," said Dietrich F. Brennenstuhl when explaining the added value of Rossoacoustic CP30. The CEO of the Nimbus Group played a key role in developing the product together with the Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics (IBP). BALANCE OF PROTECTION, SHIELDING AND SOCIAL INTERACTION – AT THE OFFICE AND WHEN WORKING FROM HOME Many users also find the translucence of the panel system particularly pleasant: staff can keep the necessary distance while joining in with the daily routine and keeping up with events in the office. It is translucent and enables a balance between protection, shielding and social interaction. A product like Rossoacoustic CP30 is also very practical for those working from home. Rossoacoustic CP30 is light, functional and simple. It fits in with any conceivable interior concept. The special honeycomb structure consists of transparent or matt polycarbonate and is a real eye-catcher. However, its primary function is to minimise ambient noise. The product contains patented Fraunhofer technology. CREATING AND MARKING OFF SPACES Whole areas or specific zones of an office can be partitioned and shielded using Rossoacoustic CP30. The variously sized panels can be effortlessly lifted and repositioned by one person alone. There are special desk panels that can be positioned on the sides or at the front as the user wishes. The right fittings can be used to place panels on the floor, attach them to the edge of a desk or suspend them from the ceiling. The design of the panel system is discreet yet stylish. It is already used in numerous agencies, offices and administration buildings.
