The Integrity Christian School in Newberg, WV has a
multipurpose room very similar to those found in most
churches or schools. They have a 40’ x 48’
x 16’ high room with very hard reflective surfaces
all around (plaster walls, metal ceiling and concrete
floor). At the present time the room is used mostly
for recreational purposes such as basketball because
of the excessive reverberation or echo within the room.
The school contacted Acoustical Solutions, Inc. in search
of an acoustical treatment for the room. Acoustical
Solutions, Inc. ran a reverberation report on the room
and determined the existing reverb level within the
room was approx. 6 – 6 ¼ seconds long.
The goal was set for a reverb time of 1.5 – 2.0
seconds. Acoustical Solutions, Inc. determined that
(24) 4’ x 8’ x 2” AlphaEnviro
Wall Panels flush mounted to walls spaced evenly
around the perimeter of the room would be the perfect
fix. The Ripstop
Nylon material was chosen for the AlphaEnviro
Wall Panels because the room was still to be used
as a multi-purpose room and the panels on the walls
would need to stand up to some abuse from basketballs
and volleyballs.
Within days of the installation being completed, Pastor
Terry Wilt contacted Acoustical Solutions regarding
the room with the following comments. “I would
like to thank Acoustical Solutions for your help in
turning our multi-purpose room into a sanctuary. That
is how drastic the change was in the room after installing
the wall panels. Before the panels you could hardly
stand to be in the room when the kids were playing basketball,
and even when they were not playing it was hard to carry
on a conversation with anyone because of the reverb.
Now it is so indusive to hearing that we have moved
some of our Church services into the room. We were amazed
as we began putting the panels up around the room, you
could here the noise level dropping with each panel
added. Also they were so easy to install and we were
able to get them in our school colors, which was an
added bonus. We feel that the investment we made in
the panels was well worth it. I'm thankful that you
had the solution to our problem. Feel free to use us
as a reference for your product; it's something to brag
about.”
