June Tip of the Month

Sound
Close your eyes and clap your hands. By listening to the sound of the echo, you can determine the distance of the surrounding walls and ceiling. With some practice, you can actually begin to estimate those distances. Sounds bounce off of hard surfaces and are absorbed by soft surfaces. This is a important factor for the selection and placement of furniture, window treatments, and floor and wall coverings. Note that wood absorbs sound, so a hardwood floor can be considered a soft surface for sound purposes.
