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.
