Granite City Food & Brewery is a casual restaurant with an on site brewery. One of the challenges facing the architect, SJA Architects out of St. Cloud, was controlling reverberation (echo time) in the dining area. Studies have shown that low reverberation times in dining areas of restaurants will help reduce wait staff turnover and more importantly keep the patrons coming back.

International Cellulose’s SonaSpray “fc” was chosen to meet that challenge. Applied to the ceiling at a ¾” thickness, SonaSpray “fc” will provide an overall Noise Reduction Coefficient of 0.75 (75%). SonaSpray “fc” was also chosen for its availability in custom colors to match the restaurants color scheme.

SonaSpray “fc” provides an attractive, high performance solution to acoustical and lighting objectives in both new construction and renovation projects. Typical installations include bars, restaurants, schools, churches, auditoriums, libraries, cafeterias, offices, hotels, and condominiums.
