Boys
& Girls Club of Nashua
The
tables are set for the first time in a long
time. Unable to use this multipurpose space
due to the 4 second reverberation time, K-13
Beige has been applied to the fluted metal deck
for acoustical control. The availability of
5 standard manufacturer's colors allowed the
owner to select a color that would conceal ball
hits and extend overall aesthetics for the foreseeable
future. Applied at 1.5", the K-13 absorbs
100% of the sound that comes in contact with
it.

Sabis
Charter School
The
students at Sabis Charter School in Springfield
Massachusetts will never appreciate the acoustical
performance of their new gymnasium, but the
teachers and parents will. Applied at a 2"
thickness over "N" type metal decking,
the performance is striking as you walk into
a room with such volume. The application is
providing a Noise Reduction Coefficient of
1.05 along with enhancing the heat loss with
an R-value of 9.

Pitkin
Community Center
An
emotional tribute to the World Trade Center,
the recently renovated Pitkin Community Center
highlights a piece of steel from Ground Zero
in New York City. K-13 was selected for a
variety of reasons; 1st, K-13's ability to
mask the old irregular substrate, 2nd, providing
an R-Value of 14 and 3rd, Noise Reduction
Coefficient of 1.00. Major funding for the
project was provided by a single family member
who lost her husband in the attack.

Boys
& Girls Club of Cape Cod
Would
you like to know what a 1/2" application
of Sona-Spray "fc" can do? Just ask
the folks at the Boys & Girls Club of Cape
Cod in Mashpee Massachusetts. This standard block
and drywall ceiling gymnasium was a painful environment
to be in while hosting activities. Completed in
4 days, the application was retrofitted without
any additional work required. The Noise Reduction
Coefficient of .65 has brought the reverberation
under control and the staff is said to be resting
comfortably.

Wolf
School
You
can't see it but it's there! Providing sound
dampening along with the blackout effect, the
K-13 black was applied behind the dramatic slat
wood work on the walls. The 4" of K-13
is also supplying thermal insulation, R-19,
to all exterior walls in the structure. The
creative architecture by Imai Keller Moore Architects
puts a fresh look on what is normally a predictable
space.

The
Rivers School
Completed
less than a year ago, this multimillion dollar
gymnasium was recently retrofitted with Light
Gray K-13 at the direction of Cavanaugh Tocci
Associates, Inc. Deemed intolerable by the
staff and faculty, something had to be done
to reduce the 2.5 second reverberation times.
The application of 1.5" provides a Noise
Reduction Coefficient of 1.05, greatly reducing
overall noise and creating an enjoyable environment.

K.C.
Coombs Elementary School
It
only took five years, but the Mashpee School
System found the money in the budget to
take care of a dual problem at the K.C.
Coombs School. Following years of pealing
paint, due to improper priming, and acoustics
that drove teachers from the gym, the metal
deck ceiling received a 2.5" layer
of White K-13. The application has been
a major success with the sound control problem
solved along with the drastic improvement
in aesthetics. The School Department is
already talking about the multi-purpose
room for next year.

International
Yacht Restoration School
The
Visitors to the International
Yacht Restoration School in Newport
Rhode Island will never realize what
students had to deal with for years.
The acoustics were unbearable in the
work shop area. With fund raising always
an issue, it is high praise when an
application of K-13 becomes the area
to spend those few dollars. This was
the case recently when over 12,500 feet
of visitor's center, wood shop area
and boat building hall were treated
with 1.5" of K-13. For a qualified
referral, ask these world class carpenters
what they think of K-13.

Harrington
Elementary School
Years
of cracked and broken tiles convinced
the Cambridge School System to call
for K-13. With the tiles removed,
track and wire cut down, K-13 Beige
was applied at a thickness of 1”,
N.R.C. rating of .75. This multi purpose
application improved the ceiling height,
acoustical performance, appearance,
and maintenance requirements for years
to come. This application is the latest
in a series for the Cambridge School
Department.

Keefe
Technical School
Not
once but twice is what the Framingham School
System has said to K-13 Beige applied at 2"
thickness. Following the application in the
pool area, A.T.I. was tapped for an identical
application in this 12,000 foot gymnasium. The
concrete T's and equally hard wall and floor
surfaces created an echo chamber which made
teaching almost impossible. With a full treatment
to the T's as well as the flat ceiling areas,
the reverberation is almost nonexistent. This
drastic improvement was completed in just six
working days.

Portsmouth
Christian Academy
When
Sound Star Music was called in to install
a state of the art sound system at the Portsmouth
Christian Academy, they knew there was no
point until they treated the space acoustically.
As with hundreds of new gymnasiums/auditoriums,
it's not until construction is complete that
the owner realizes that the functions they
would like to hold in the new space are not
possible due to poor acoustical performance.
K-13 installed at 1.5” Noise Reduction
Coefficient of 1.05 has all but removed the
reverberation in the gym.

Improving
the reverberation time in this Cambridge
School Gymnasium was as important for the
students as it was for the facility. The
30 foot metal deck ceilings in conjunction
with concrete walls and athletic flooring
was providing a perfect atmosphere for reverberation.
K-13 applied at a average thickness of 1.5”,
Noise Reduction Coefficient of .80, has
improved the environment for all.

Noble
& Greenough School
This
new facility at Noble & Greenough
School in Dedham Massachusetts had planned
to have painted precast plank ceilings
in the wrestling and aerobics rooms. Closing
in on the completion of the project, the
realization of an acoustical problem in
these two areas was extremely evident.
Acoustical Thermal Insulators was called
in to apply .75", N.R.C. Rating of
.75, of Sona-Spray to both ceilings. With
the reverberation under control, this
beautiful facility opened on time for
arriving students.

Job
Lane School
With
the ever increasing demand for space
at our public schools, Symmes Maini
& McKee Associates got creative
at the Job Lane School. This once oversized
elementary school gymnasium has received
interior partitions on two sides which
created large storage areas for instruments
and various school supplies. To insure
the new music room would be functional,
in regards to the acoustics, Sona-Spray
"fc" was applied at 1"
providing a Noise Reduction Coefficient
of .90.

Dean
College
Twenty
year old semi rigid fiberglass panels had seen
their day at this Dean College Gymnasium in Franklin
Massachusetts. With 50% of the pebble finish missing
from years of abuse, the ceiling had become an
eyesore. A.T.I. was called in to apply 1"
Beige K-13 directly over the exposed fiberglass
board. All existing mechanicals, lighting, joists
and basketball stanchions were protected during
the 4 day operation. This quick and economical
application has provided the college with a bright
new look to begin this season's basketball schedule.

Not

the recent one week vacation for the East Providence
Rhode Island School Department. Due to the size
and construction materials used in these gymnasiums/cafeterias,
the sound levels were deafening during lunch and
gym classes. K-13 was selected for the Noise Reduction
Rating of 1.05 when applied to fluted metal deck.
The material was also applied on the perimeter
walls down 10 feet to further reduce reverberation.

Morgan
High School
Flash
back! This 10,000 square foot gymnasium in Clinton
Connecticut had a semi rigid fiber form panel
ceiling wit a pebble finish. From baseballs
to hockey pucks, the ceiling was so abused it
was raining down pieces of fiberglass the size
of basketballs on the students below. In 1987,
A.T.I. Incorporated was called in to remove
the loose pieces from the ceiling, exposing
the raw fiberglass, and apply a 1" thick
application of Beige K-13. With over 10 years
gone by, the K-13 has not only remained intact
on this questionable substrate, it appears as
if the application had been applied yesterday.
