KDWoodtech recently earned recognition for its quality by installing its 'Acoustic Click Louver System' in six seminar rooms on the first floor of Building 61, the Basic Education Building at Seoul National University.
The product applied to each seminar room is the 'Acoustic Click Louver System,' a patented product under KDWoodtech's 'Soundmate' brand, which was custom-made and installed using solid oak wood, click louver clips, and a rail system. A distinctive feature of the 'Acoustic Click Louver System' is that it uses no screws or nails to fix the wooden louvers to walls or ceilings. As a result, there is no risk of damage from screw work, and installation is completed simply by fitting the louvers into fix clips made of engineering plastic. The louvers are basically offered in five designs—Block, Peak, Float, Dome, and Fin—and are shaped with a long groove on the lower part into which the fix clip is inserted.
In particular, the 'Acoustic Click Louver System' can be installed freely not only on walls but also on ceilings, curved surfaces, and more, making it possible to create more distinctive spaces. For even higher sound-absorption performance, an acoustic absorbent material can be placed between the fix clip and the joist during installation. The product can be applied anywhere noise is a concern, mainly public institutions, performance halls, hotel lobbies, press conference rooms, and recording studios.
'Soundmate,' Enhancing Sound Quality and Preventing Noise
Until now, professional acoustic panels with acoustic properties were installed in opera houses and performance halls or limited to audio listening rooms. Recently, however, as built-in furniture stored within walls has grown in popularity, damage from noise—such as intensified sound reverberation—has become frequent even in homes. As a result, a quiet environment is becoming an essential element of design.
'Soundmate' was developed to reflect this trend, taking the form of a scientific art wall that delivers not only indoor acoustic effects but also exceptional performance in blocking noise between neighbors. In particular, its easy installation and mobility make it a convenient choice for partial installations or remodeling. 'Soundmate' consists of ▲Acoustic Board Panel, which allows wall-mounted DIY installation ▲Acoustic Click Louver, which is easy to install anywhere, including on curved surfaces ▲Acoustic Channel Rib, which can be used as an indoor or outdoor soundproof wall ▲Grand Combination Louver of magnificent scale.
In particular, the flagship product, the 'Acoustic Board Panel,' is the easiest product to install and is released as a finished product in a variety of wood species and colors such as oak, ash, silkwood, and paulownia, allowing selection according to taste and space. In addition, as a home acoustic panel optimized for TV viewing, a PET sound-absorbing material is placed beneath the wooden slats to eliminate low-frequency sound that passes through the wooden slats or is directly incident. As a result, it is highly effective at blocking low-frequency sound that would otherwise spread to other rooms through the back of a TV or bass speaker, thereby blocking noise. Furthermore, in the process of reflecting off the wooden slats, it produces richer and more beautiful sound. The 'Acoustic Board Panel' can be applied to a variety of spaces requiring quiet, including home living rooms and bedrooms, study rooms that require concentration, as well as commercial spaces, work spaces, meeting rooms, and seminar rooms.
