Football club Zennester

The problem

Football club Zennester in Hombeek has a long tradition. With its 12 youth teams containing almost 160 youth players and still rising, it’s the largest youth association in Hombeek. Many substantial investments are done to improve their facilities. Recently, a magnificent building was erected, named the “Chalet”, in which the cafeteria is located on the first floor. The large windows or the beautiful terrace offer a great vantagepoint for all the football pitches.

The cafeteria’s modern design included modern furniture and a concrete floor. The large windows and the concrete floor form a large, smooth surface, ideal for sound to reflect unobstructed. This resulted in a lot of reverberations, causing visitors to have intelligibility issues at busy times. Attending a dinner party, watching a football game or analysing the past game, tired the people instead of relaxing them.

Our solution

Our professional expert visited the football club and measured a reverberation time up to 2 seconds. Fortunately, the board of the club immediately chose for the best solution, the reverberation time had to be reduced to 0,7 seconds. This required up to 118 m² of our acoustic material. Where was all this material supposed to go? There were few walls available and the wood beam ceiling offered little opportunity as well. COUST suggested to install 22 COUSTbaffles (double sided hanging screens) in between the beams, as well as 3 COUSTwalls (fixed wall coverings) fitted to the available walls.  

Result

The client relied on our expertise to install the COUSTwalls. They installed the COUSTbaffles themselves. The result is magnificent: we incorporated the optimal acoustic solution into the interior, creating one seamless whole. The fans can now fully enjoy every game in this marvellous cafeteria.
