Many sounds are present in hospital environments, including those from beepers, alarms, machines, rolling carts, HVAC systems, and conversations, among other sources. These can be severely irritating and at times harmful to patients, depending on their current conditions (i.e., age, hearing ability, medication intake, cultural background, and pre-existing fears and anxieties). Acoustics can also impact perceptions of comfort, safety, and security for patients, all of which can affect a patient’s recovery.
A good acoustic environment helps staff hear and analyse audible warning alarm sounds on medical equipment and patient call signals.
Snowsound panels achieve Class A sound absorption classification based on weighted sound absorption coefficient “Alpha w” per International ISO standard 11654. Snowsound panels tested according to ISO 354 standards have achieved NRC of 1.0. DEMO Video.
baffle
Baffle is a patented system designed to hang our Snowsound® sound-absorbing panels in the ceiling, showcasing the lightness and elegance. The adjustable height of the cables and the array of sizes and colours available make it possible to achieve compositions that can be personalised for aesthetics and sound. The patented joining system of the panel to the cables is completely invisible; a small cylindrical joint hides the anchoring system inside. The baffle anchors can be positioned along the upper edge of the panel, without particular limitations of space between the cables, in order to simplify ceiling installation.
Sound is formed by waves that reflect off solid surfaces. In rooms constructed from timber, concrete or glass, echoes can be created causing an unpleasant, loud environment.
Snowsound’s® patented technology is based on the use of panels composed of material with variable densities to achieve selective absorption at different frequencies, optimising the acoustic environment.
in
In is born from the idea that an acoustic panel need not be hidden or disguised. Taking advantage of Snowsound® Technology In continues the thought of offering a variable and lightweight surface made up of several modules which can be located in the space according to the needs of our contemporary lifestyles. In can be easily mounted in a ceiling structure that affords the end user the utmost creative and expressive freedom.

Snowsound’s® patented technology is based on the use of panels composed of material with variable densities to achieve elective absorption at different frequencies, optimising the acoustic environment.
The new Snowsound® In panels, measuring 59x59cm or 59x119cm, can be inserted in suspended ceilings with profiles that can hold their weight. The panels come with the CE mark according to the harmonised technical specification EN 13964 for use as a suspended ceiling.
mitesco
Our idea is an acoustic panel that need not be hidden or disguised. Taking advantage of two-sided panels and Snowsound® technology, we instinctively thought of a variable and lightweight surface made up of several modules which can be located in the space according to the changing needs of our contemporary lifestyles. Not so much a partition wall but an aerial
wall mounted or ceiling structure that affords the end user the utmost creative and expressive freedom.

The Mitesco System has a large collection of quality fittings available for freestanding, wall, desk or ceiling-mounted options to personalise your fitout.
botanica
Botanica rests and climbs like a plant that protects and isolates the environment.
The wind blows but you can’t hear it, the light is there but you can’t see it. The result is a muffled and relaxed atmosphere, the silence on several levels that you hear in the woods, where the sounds are dispersed in the infinite collection of nature.
The system of sound absorbing elements Botanica is composed of a leaf shaped panel held by a chromed metal
support that can be fixed with different inclinations and proposed in combination with different bearing structures.
