The NEW free Knauf AMF room acoustics app for iPhone and iPad
Initially some physical data and the desired usage of the room are to be entered. There from the frequency dependent reverberation time, the noise reduction and the average absorption coefficient are calculated and presented in graphical form. In addition, tolerance ranges are shown to indicate where the values of these design quantities should be.
Finally, the absorbers to be used in the room must be selected. The app helps to determine the appropriate products and their amount by indicating whether the requirements by the standard have been met or not.
When the planning is done, a report can be created in the form of a PDF document and sent by e-mail or printed.
The Knauf AMF Room Acoustics Calculator makes it easy to design the acoustics of a room according to the following standards:
-
DIN 18041 (Germany, Switzerland)
-
ÖNORM B 8115-3 (Austria)

Sterlingham website set to simplify bathroom fittings selection & design
A new design website by UK premier bathroom fittings designers and manufacturers The Sterlingham Co Ltd is set to thrill interior designers and discerning clients. Prior to a Gulf wide launch in the coming months, the company is supporting designers, specifiers and interested partners by making selection and design easier. Steve Parker, international manager commented, "It is clear that in superior hotels, residences and public buildings, there is a large demand for products that are hand made, high quality and combine many design features, often including different materials and technologies, in addition to being able to simply select from limited edition ranges. It can so often be the finite finishing and attention to detail that creates that great impression."
He added “Registering on the site as an interior designer, retail partner or individual, gives everyone really pertinent information for their needs and enables them to create their own designs. We can also let them be the first to know about exciting new additions, such as our expanding Sink Stand range, that has water-free heated options in numerous shapes, for those fluffy dry towels” Andrew Healey, managing director commented, “We are excited by the launch of our new website and the opportunity to provide world class design opportunities and support, consistent with the quality of our products, that are all made in our own factories. They are only available either directly or through selected interior designers and partners and clients that insist on the very best!“ Editors note: The Sterlingham Co Ltd are based in Stourbridge, England and have been designing and manufacturing ranges of high quality bathroom fittings and accessories including unique heated stands and towel rails, for more than 25 years. Recent worldwide acclaim includes awards in the USA and specifications by top interior designers and clients in the Gulf and worldwide.
A full Gulf launch comprising of seminars and events will be announced shortly. The company is already working with members of APID in the Gulf and other selected partners.
