Sonex Contour Tiles are Perfect Choice for Upscale Dining Area

Picture an elegant, award-winning country club formal dining room in south Florida — an array of windows providing a breathtaking view of three championship golf courses. Now picture this dining room filled to capacity with 300 guests for Sunday brunch or a special function — conversing at high decibel levels to compensate for sound reflection off windows and hardwood floors, straining to hear each other over the clatter of dishes.

The Fountains Country Club
When remodeling 6,000 square feet of clubhouse dining areas and lobby, The Fountains Country Club in Lake Worth, Fla., carefully considered these appearance and acoustic issues. The solution: CONTOUR Ceiling Tiles.
"The Fountains Country Club is a private, 900-member golf and tennis club within a gated community, so we definitely needed a ceiling product that had an elegant appearance," says Leslie Karen, director of purchasing, The Fountains Country Club. "Acoustic control — reducing noise levels — was the other extremely important consideration. We have an older member population and a dining room full of windows. Excess noise is a potential problem. We looked at various acoustical tiles and fabric ceiling coverings, but none came close to the distinctive elegance and noise reduction characteristics of Sonex CONTOUR. This new ceiling dresses up our award-winning formal dining room beautifully, and our members are very complimentary about it."
Sonex CONTOUR Ceiling tiles are available in 14 different designs and 4 standard colors that can be used alone or mixed and matched to create unique patterns. The Fountains' formal dinning room, Grille Room dining area and lobby included two different patterns to create a design unique for the facility.
Sonex CONTOUR Ceiling Tiles have a backer board for stability and are easy to install in drop-in grid systems. Noise reduction coefficients (NRCs) range from 0.95 to 1.20. Ideal for both new construction and retrofitting — Sonex CONTOUR tiles are appropriate for many environments, including ballrooms, meeting facilities, conference and board rooms, offices, entertainment facilities, call centers and customer service departments, lobbies and entryways.
" Sonex CONTOUR offers a unique marriage of form and function — designer appearance and unparalleled acoustical control — both of which are critical in high visibility, high-traffic spaces," says Joerg Hutmacher, business unit manager, illbruck Architectural Products.
