Benetti Green Walls: Elegance and Functionality with Cork

11/09/2024

In the realm of interior design, Benetti offers innovative and sustainable solutions that are increasingly sought after, such as the use of cork in green walls. This natural material not only adds a touch of elegance to spaces but also provides significant benefits in terms of sound absorption, thus combining aesthetics and functionality.

Properties of Cork

Cork is known for its extraordinary sound-absorbing properties, making it ideal for creating noise barriers in crowded and noisy environments. Benetti leverages these characteristics by integrating cork into contract, commercial, healthcare, hospitality, and residential spaces. The goal is to create sophisticated environments where aesthetics and acoustic comfort go hand in hand.

 Under ideal conditions, a cork panel approximately 2 cm thick can achieve a sound absorption coefficient greater than 0.5 for mid and high frequencies. This means that over 50% of the incident sound energy can be absorbed by the material, making it an ideal solution for environments that require efficient noise attenuation.

BIRDIE and EAGLE Collection

The BIRDIE and EAGLE collection combines natural stabilized lichens with cork, offering solutions that are not only visually appealing but also extremely effective in reducing noise. Available in Grass and Forest colors, these green walls are customizable upon client request, making them ideal for any environment that needs acoustic improvement, reducing reverberation, and mitigating unwanted noise.

Pianeta Verde

The collaboration between Benetti and architect Fabio Rotella has resulted in Pianeta Verde, a collection of sound-absorbing green walls designed for interiors. Vertical green walls such as Spazio and Parentesi 01 enrich spaces with a touch of freshness thanks to Benetti Moss and also contribute to improving acoustic quality.
