Absorption and treatment that make open floors livable — ceiling clouds, wall panels, and furniture-level baffles that cut noise and reverberation without building walls.
From a single sit-stand desk to a fully integrated private office, the desk is personal infrastructure. We specify height-adjustable bases, executive casegoods, and reception stations — chosen as the best product for the job, not the cheapest base on the marketplace.
Questions, answered.
About Acoustic Solutions
Where should acoustic treatment go?
Usually the ceiling first — it’s the biggest hard surface — then walls and the desk level. We treat the room where it actually reverberates, not just where panels look good.
What’s NRC and how much do we need?
NRC measures how much sound a material absorbs (0–1). Open, hard rooms need more coverage; we calculate the treatment to the room’s volume, surfaces, and use.
Can acoustics look good, not institutional?
Yes — modern PET and fabric systems come in color, pattern, and shape, so treatment reads as design. We spec pieces that solve the noise and lift the space.
Working with Applied Ergonomics
What types of projects does Applied Ergonomics work on?
We work on projects of all sizes, from single-office setups to multi-floor corporate buildouts. Our services span workspace strategy, interior design, furniture specification, procurement, project management, and installation across healthcare, education, corporate, industrial, and hospitality environments.
How does the consultation process work?
We start with a conversation to understand your goals, challenges, and timeline. From there we develop a tailored approach that may include space planning, product recommendations, and a detailed proposal. There’s no obligation, and we’re happy to answer questions at any stage.
Do you work with architects and interior designers?
Absolutely. We regularly partner with architects and interior designers as a technical and execution resource, translating design intent into specific, high-performing solutions.
What geographic areas do you serve?
We serve clients nationally. While we’re headquartered in the Chicago area, our project management and installation capabilities extend across the United States.
Do you support ongoing facility needs after a project is complete?
Yes. We remain a consistent point of contact beyond project closeout—handling warranty coordination, reconfigurations, internal moves, modular system relocation and reuse, redesigns, and more. Our goal is continuity, not re-procurement.
