Sound Seal Performs Acoustic Paneling Installation at Smith United Methodist Church

Agawam, MA (PRWEB) December 10, 2014

Sound Seal, a leading manufacturer of acoustical and noise control products serving the industrial, architectural, commercial and construction industries, announced today that Smith United Methodist Church in North Carolina chose its S-2000 Acoustical Wall & Ceiling Panels to help combat poor acoustics in the institutions multi-purpose activity room.

Proper sound quality was essential for the activity room, which was designed to host community events like dinners and banquets. The approximately 20 x 40 room with a 16 high-pitched ceiling suffered from reverberation times of almost 3.5 seconds that made it extremely difficult to communicate effectively within the space. It was also especially hard for the elderly in the church to hear and communicate with other parishioners. With a goal of achieving a 1.5-second reverberation time, Sound Seals innovative S-2000 Acoustical Wall & Ceiling Panels were identified as the ideal solution for improving the rooms acoustic quality as affordably as possible.

The project team focused on retrofitting the room without sacrificing aesthetic appeal. Encompassing 450 sq. ft. of acoustic paneling, Sound Seal worked closely with the project owner and local contractors to ensure the panels performed as intended. The S-2000 Wall Panel reduced reverberation time within the space to 1.5 seconds thanks to its high manufacturing standards and purpose-built design as a multi-function absorber panel that resolves reverberant noise problems.

S-2000 panels are available in standard or custom-sizes (up to a maximum of 5' x 10') with custom, designer or C.O.M fabric available, and installation is straight-forward, utilizing mechanical fasteners or impaling clips and adhesive. Typical applications for the S-2000 panel include schools, universities, offices, airports, churches, restaurants and any area where excess reverberation is a problem.

Finding a way to allow Smith United Methodist Church to maximize the use of their multi-purpose room without having to perform extensive, high-cost renovations was the principal focus of this project, said Dave Ingersoll, project manager for Sound Seal. The S-2000 Acoustical Wall and Ceiling Panels injected new life into an area of the church that thrives on community engagement and lively conversation. Were thrilled the S-2000 performed like we knew it would while also providing the end result of reducing reverberation time within the space.
