Caruso Acoustic & Lighting

Our work in the field of environmental comfort has pointed us in the direction of seeking out new materials, studying new behavioural models and developing high-performance, lasting, exceptionally versatile products suitable for various applications and with an attractive, creative design.

Our technical staff are always hard at work developing and defining products able to meet the most up-to-date criteria in the field of building acoustics, staying one step ahead - when we can – of the expectations of customers who keep an increasingly close eye on all aspects of wellbeing and a quality lifestyle.

Caruso is Italian by name and by nature, at every stage of the production chain; we are proud to guarantee the quality materials, innovative design and exquisite craftsmanship that are the hallmarks of Italian design and production.

We are convinced that the acoustic comfort of their premises is an important competitive factor for businesses, and that it is fundamental in education facilities, for both teachers and learners. It is of decisive importance for the public when it comes to making choices.

Acoustic balance: a competitive advantage

Establishing the acoustic balance of a setting has acquired a great deal of importance, and not only in terms of the wellbeing and comfort of users, with a decisive impact on productivity and learning. Many studies have shown that a properly balanced environment compliant with acoustic comfort criteria reduces stress, improves listening and teaching skills, helps us retain information and boosts customer loyalty.

The premises involved belong to a variety of categories and include education, conference and entertainment facilities:

- School and university classrooms;
- Conference halls;
- Restaurants and public premises;
- Offices.

Acoustics and safety: twin aspects important enough to be taken into consideration by Italian law, the relationship between which is also covered in Legislative Decree no. 626/1994 governing the issue of safety in the workplace.

This is why when planning buildings and premises it is essential to consider those materials able to create a comfortable acoustic environment and thus transmit a sense of wellbeing to users. Subsequently, it is useful to conduct a reverberation analysis in order to decide on the sound absorbing units required to obtain optimum reverberation times for the specific use buildings are designed for.
