Connecticut Convention Center

You can't see it but it's there! The recently completed Connecticut Convention Center selected K-13 Black for the massive exhibit hall ceilings. Applied at 1" on fluted metal deck, the K-13 provides an unequaled .90 Noise Reduction Coefficient. The application controls reverberation along with providing the blackout of the ceiling that was desired. The new Marriott Hotel in the background also received K-13 treatments to various areas for sound control.

Hebrew Rehabilitation Center for the Aged

Clean and without distraction is what Sona-Spray "fc" offered to this small informal gathering area at the Hebrew Rehabilitation Center in Roslindale Massachusetts. The cathedral ceiling required some type of acoustical control, but glued ceiling tiles would have detracted from the architectural appeal of the space. Applied at a thickness of 1", Noise Reduction Coefficient of .90, the space now has little to no reverberation.

Massachusetts State Exposition Center

With the volume of traffic that moves through the Massachusetts State Exposition Building at the Big "E" Fair Grounds, lack of acoustical control can be a major distraction for exhibitors and patrons. Barry Architects of Pittsfield Massachusetts chose 1" Dark Gray K-13 applied over existing discolored fiberboard. The application of K-13 provided an economical solution to this area along with a Noise Reduction Coefficient of .75 for reverberation control.

Mullins Center

Flash back! This unique flush application of 1/2" of Sona-Spray "fc" was complete in 1993 in the concourse level of the Mullins Center at the university of Massachusetts at Amherst. With two layers of drywall in place, one layer was cut out to create a panel where the Sona-Spray could be applied flush with the balance of the ceiling. The Sona-Spray, which did not require expansion joints, dramatically reduces the costs from the cementitious materials that were also reviewed.

Newburyport Town Hall

Improving the acoustical performance without jeopardizing the historic appeal of this town hall in Newburyport Massachusetts was the challenge for Woodman associates. K-13 and K-13"fc" were taped for extremely high N.R.C. ratings and the ability to conform to the sloping ceilings. With reverberation times over 4 seconds, the acoustical material needed to be applied over 1.5" thick. A 1" base coat of K-13 was applied and rolled to remove any high and low areas. K-13"fc" was then applied at a thickness of 1/2" to supply a tight smooth texture. The combination of materials provided an N.R.C. of 1.05.

North Shore Music Theater

Following a fire and severe smoke damage, North Shore Music Theater selects K-13 Black for a multitude of performance characteristics. The thermal properties of a 4" application provides an R-value of 18 and has a Noise Reduction Coefficient of 1.00. K-13 also has a Class "A", non-combustible U.L. rating. This 30,000 Square Foot application was completed in less than two weeks. For a review of this performance, just ask the owners of the music theater.

Pell Chafee Performance Center

Preparation and patience were on tap for this extremely difficult application of special color Sona-Spray "fc". Desert Sand "fc" was applied at 1/2" to provide an N.R.C. Rating of .65. The panels and skylights received extensive preparation while the perimeters of the historic plaster panels received the acoustical treatment. When the protection was removed, the material was hand trimmed and edged to the plaster moldings.

Springfield Museum

The clean lines and matching color scheme in this recently renovated structure will be the new home of Indian Motorcycle and Rolls-Royce Museums. Located in Springfield Massachusetts, the museum is utilizing 1/2" of Sona-Spray "fc" in special color Desert Sand to control reverberation. Extensive surface preparation was done to the old concrete beams and ceiling prior to the acoustical application. Stephen Jablonski Architects has completed Phase 1 of the renovations with additional areas currently in design.

Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary

The Wellfleet Wildlife Sanctuary in South Wellfleet recently underwent total renovations which included an addition. Acoustical control was paramount with the amount of large volume exhibit and classroom areas with cathedral ceilings. Applied at a 1" thickness, the application allowed for the concealment of surface mounted wires and tracks. The application, providing a Noise Reduction Coefficient of .90, provides visitors with a quiet, enjoyable atmosphere.

Xavier Academy Hall at Johnson & Wales University

Stunning is the only way to describe this total renovation of the Xavier Academy Hall at Johnson & Wales University in Providence Rhode Island. With the classic architecture restored to its original condition, modern day technology quietly and invisibly updates the hall for today's uses. Sona-Krete applied at .5" provides a plaster type finish and Noise Reduction Coefficients of .65 to also bring the acoustics up to date.
