ABSORBRELLA: Transforms a simple parasol into an innovation to control noise on terraces

Life in cities requires enduring a lot of noise. Daily, hospitality terraces, busy squares, or tourist areas are meeting points, but they generate conflicts. Outdoor sound absorption has become a key challenge, a current hurdle, and the lack of effective solutions has hitherto remained without a simple way to be resolved. Thus, acoustic engineers and architects repeatedly face these technical limitations and municipal regulations that already condition their designs.
ABSORBRELLA, a new ISINAC patent, was created to respond to this challenge. The solution transforms everyday outdoor furniture elements such as parasols, pergolas, tents, or shade sails into a powerful high-performance sound absorption tool.
Often, this furniture is reduced to mere objects to reduce solar radiation, and often not even that, becoming mere decoration. Beneath its discreet appearance that adapts to all sizes, colours and layouts, ABSORBRELLA integrates a system that measurably improves the acoustic experience on terraces and outdoor 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 parasols, for which two solutions are implemented:
| ILUCS SOLUTION | ILUCS + IZZER SOLUTION |
|---|---|
| αw 0.90 sound absorption | αw 1 acoustic absorption |
| 4-5 dB acoustic insulation on the street / 13 dB in laboratory tests | 4-5dB sound insulation on street / 13dB in laboratory tests |
| 89% thermal insulation | 93% thermal insulation |
These data position the patent as a real solution for outdoor sound absorption with verifiable and certified data backed by a market guarantee.
Benefits of ABSORBRELLA for all types of projects
ABSORBRELLA is not just another parasol: it was born as engineering and design applicable to every urban living space. It is capable of improving neighborly coexistence, providing comfort to the customer of the restaurant establishment, and optimizing the energy efficiency of the business.
For acoustic engineers and architects, this means working with a tailored, customizable product with exact performance certifications, which eliminates the usual uncertainties in outdoor noise control projects.
