Therefore, our mission is to optimize acoustic solutions in wood buildings to increase the use of wood in construction worldwide to help our society grow and adapt to a circular economy.
​
We strive to provide you with all the calculations needed to ensure that your completed building fulfils national regulations and standards regarding sound insulation and noise levels. We are in close collaboration with academia to ensure that we are using the most effective and modern methods of measuring sound insulation. We want to refine the acoustic solutions for the wooden building industry to assure acoustically satisfactory, cost efficient and environmentally friendly solutions.

Our story
Acouwood was founded by Klas Hagberg in response to the rising demand for sustainable acoustics.
​
After one year in business, Rikard Öqvist joined as a partner to address growing demand. Since then, we are still growing with more employees.
With urban populations expected to grow by 2.5 billion by 2050, noise levels will increase, highlighting the need for quality sound in buildings.
As awareness of environmental damage grows, sustainable construction using renewable materials like wood become essential.
Acouwood aims to meet this demand while promoting eco-friendly designs and healthy living spaces.
Why wood?
The material is more complicated to use inbuilding structures, not only in acoustic design but also fire and statics. However, it is proved to be much more sustainable implying we have to overcome technical challenges. Wood is an amazing material that can be combined with other materials to design constructions that reflect the characteristics you desire much more. You need to know how to use it, and that’s where we can help.
​
Wood is sustainable, but it also produces a much smaller carbon footprint when it is being manufactured, and it works with the natural cycle of the ecosystem. Thus, it will work well with the modern goals to transform the economy circular.
​
Acouwood believes in this material and its potential. It is an amazing material that can be used to achieve the modern goals of our world. For example, wooden construction will help promote the 11th and 12th sustainable development goals of the United Nations. So to sum it up, wood is the future of construction, and here at Acouwood, we strive to help realize this future goals without jeopardizing the acoustics.
