Life in cities requires enduring a lot of noise. On a daily basis, terraces, crowded squares or tourist areas are meeting points, but generate conflicts. The sound absorption in outdoor environments has become a key challenge.The lack of effective solutions has so far remained an ongoing challenge, and the lack of effective solutions has so far been left without a simple way to solve it. Acoustic engineers and architects are thus recurrently confronted with these technical limitations and municipal regulations that already condition their designs.
ABSORBRELLA, a new ISINAC patent, was created in response to this challenge. The solution transforms everyday elements of outdoor furniture such as parasols, pergolas, tents or sails in a powerful high performance sound absorption tool.
Often, this furniture is reduced to simple objects to reduce solar radiation, and often not even that and becomes decoration. Under the discreet appearance that can be adapted to all sizes, colours and layouts, ABSORBRELLA integrates a system that measurably improves the acoustic experience on terraces and in open-air spaces.
Accredited technical data
The value of ABSORBRELLA is reflected in results certified by some of the best acoustic laboratories. Let's look at the case of sunshades, for which two solutions are implemented:
| ILUCS SOLUTION | ILUCS + IZZER SOLUTION |
| αw 0,90 sound absorption | αw 1 sound absorption |
| 4-5 dB street sound insulation / 13dB in laboratory tests | 4-5dB street sound insulation / 13dB in laboratory tests |
| 89% thermal insulation | 93% thermal insulation |
This data positions the patent as a real solution for outdoor sound absorption with verifiable and certified data that is guaranteed in the market.
Benefits of ABSORBRELLA for all types of projects
ABSORBRELLA is not just another parasol: it is born as engineering and design applicable to every urban living space. It is capable of improving neighbourhood coexistence, contribute customer comfort of the catering premises and optimising energy efficiency of the establishment.
For acoustical engineers and architects it means working with a tailor-made, customisable product with exact performance certifications.This eliminates common uncertainties in external noise control projects.
