Project Architects Details

SonaSpray, Temple Ohabei ShalomWorship centers are areas where sound is of the utmost importance. Nowhere else can a single spoken word carry so much meaning and importance for a great mass of people. The proper acoustical treatment in the worship facility environment can elevate the spoken word to the clarity it deserves for every member of the congregation. Proper acoustics also helps the music that accompanies worship services sound as good for the members in the first pew as it does for the members in the last pews.

When the Temple Ohabei Shalom underwent asbestos abatement to renovate their synagogue, it was decided that two other problems needed to be addressed while the renovation took place. First, the reverberant sound of the synagogue had to be controlled. Secondly, the original colors that were present on the domes, ceilings and arches of the synagogue needed to be retained in some manner and restored to their original grandeur.

SonaSpray "fc" was chosen as the acoustical treatment which could solve the synagogue's problems. It was spray applied to the domes, ceilings and arches in three different specially matched colors to restore the sunagogue's appearance and deliver the necessary acoustical absorption to the synagogue. SonaSpray "fc" delivers all the reverberation control necessary for the worship center's environment. A typical installation of .1" thick on solid backing has an unequalled NRC of 0.65 which gives sanctuaries remarkable acoustics - perfect for the spoken word, choral concerts, and organ recitals.
