MATERIALS FOR AUDITORIUMS

THE MAIN CHALLENGE FOR AUDITORIUM IS CREATING SUFFICINT LOUDNESS

FOR AUDIENCE .
MANY OF THE STRATEGIES USED BY GREEK AND ROMAN STILL HOLD.
RAKED SEATING NOT ONLY GOOD SIGHT LINES BUT ALSO GOOD HEARING
LINES.
A HARD REFLECTING SURFACE BEHIND THE PERFORMANCE IS VERY HELPFUL.
SINCE THE IN A SURFACE THEATER ARE LARGE MOST SOUND FREQUENCIES
CAN BE DESCRIBE AS RAYS.
RAY DIAGRAM CAN BE USED TO DESIGN AND DEMONSTRATE HOW A MAXIMUM
SOUND ENERGY IS TRANSMITTED TO AUDIENCE AT THE REAR OF A SPACE AND
HOW THE SOUND IS DIFFUSE THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE SPACE.
IN AUDITORIUM THE SOUND ABSORPTION CAN BE DESIGNED TO GIVE
REVERBRATION TIME .
FOR A GIVEN VOLUME OF A SPACE THE REVERBRATION TIME IS
A FUNCTION OF AMOUNT OF SOUND ABSORPTION ,THE
DESIGNER NEED TO ADD OR REMOVE ABSORBING MATERIAL
TO ADJUST THE REVERBRATION TIME. SO THE BACK WALL
NEEDS TO COVERED WITH ABSORBING MATERIAL TO
PREVENT ECHOES ,BECAUSE THE ABSORPTION OF THE
PEOPLE WHO ARE PRESENT AND THE EMPTY SEATS IS ONLY
PARTIALLY UNDER THE DESIGNER’S CONTROLLAND
BECAUSE THE CELLING IS NEEDED TO REFLECT SOUND TO
THE REAR OF THE AUDIENCE. TO PREVENT THE ECHOES , THE
REAR WALL MUST BE COVERED WITH ABSORBENT MATERIAL
.SINCE THE SIDE WALLS NEAR THE STAGE ARE USEFUL FOR
REFLECTING .
SOUND ABSORPTION MATERIAL

 WALL COVERING
 ACOUSTIC FOAM
 Acousta Board Black
 Acousta Blanket Black
 Wood Wool Acoustic Board
 NoiseBlok Mass Loaded Vinyl Barrier
 NoiseBlok Mass Loaded Vinyl Barrier, also known as MLV, is a limp-mass
barrier material used to block unwanted sound and reduce sound transmission
without reducing space. NoiseBlok is a non-toxic flexible barrier material that
is easy to install and can be easily cut on-site with a regular utility knife.
AcoustaBoard Black

 Rigid glass fiber board with an abuse resistant black non-

woven facing. Used for sound control in theaters, sound
studios, and entertainment facilities in applications requiring
an exposed,black faced sound absorbing insulation. Deep
black facing.

AcoustaBlanket Black
 Black glass fiber blanket with an abuse resistant black
surface. Used for sound control in theaters, sound studios and
entertainment facilities which require a black sound
absorbing insulation.
WOOD WOOL ACOUSTIC BOARD

Wood Wool Acoustic Board is a both a

highly acoustic board. Although is
has good thermal insulation
properties, the porous surface design
ensures very high acoustic properties
and makes it one of the best product
for the purpose. Cinema halls,
theaters, Recording studios and
ceiling and walls of big halls are
some of the application areas.
CORK FLOORING
 CORK FLORING HAS BEEN USED
BECAUSE OF ITS DURABILITY AND
ITS ABILITY TO ABSORB SOUND.
 THE REDUCE AMBINENT NOISE
CAUSED BY MOVEMENT OF
PEOPLE WITH IN THE
AUDITORIUM.
 IT IS ALSO ABLE TO HANDLE THE
EXPECTED HEAVY TRAFFIC
WITHOUT REQUIRING MUCH
MAINTENANCE.
CARPETS FOR FLOORING
 Whatever type of floor covering you need, we
can supply and install it.
 it will absorb sound – ideal for multi-screen
cinemas and multi-function spaces.
TEAK TIMBER
 TEAK TIMBER WOOD USED IN
WALL SLATS AS WALL AS IN THE
STAGE WALL AND CELLING
PANEL .
 IT IS GOOD FOR ACOUSTIC DUE
TO ITS REFLECTIVE NATURE.
 THE TIMBER IS TREATED WITH
MATTE VANISH.
 THE PLAY WITH TIMBER SLATS
GIVES A NETURAL FOR THE
LARGLEY RED COLOUR SCHEME
TAMING IT.
FIBER BOARD
 FIBER BOARD HAS BEEN USED IN
THE ACOUSTIC CELLING PANELS
BECAUSE OF ITS ABILITY TO
REFLECT THE SOUNDING A
CONTROLLED MANNER.
 THE DARK GREY COLOUR USED
ON FIBER BOARD REDUCES
DISTRACTION BY THE CELLING
PANEL KEEPING FOCUS ON THE
STAGE.
REFLECTOR PANELS
FOR CELLING

 Designed for large spaces

requiring improved sound
directivity, strength, and timing of
reflections from the ceiling area,
this product is perfect for
auditoriums, lecture halls, and
performing arts centers. panels
allow the designer to custom size
large curved reflector surfaces.
The angle of reflection is adjusted
in the field using turnbuckle and
cable suspension.
POLYURETHANE FOAM FOR SEATING
 POLYURETHANE FOAM HAS BEEN USED
IN SEATS AS WELL AS IN WALL PANELS
AT THE BACK OF THE AUDITORIUM.
 IT HAS BEEN USED BECAUSE OF ITA
ABILITY TO ABSORB SOUND AND
PREVENT ECHO.
 THE SEATING IS DESIGNED TO ABSORB
EVEN WHEN THE AUDITORIUM IS NOT
FOLLY OCCUPIED
 THE SEATS USE HIGH DENSITY FOAM
BECAUSE OF ITS LONG LASTING
NATURE IN THE HEAVY TRAFFIC AREA.
 THE WALL PANELS ARE THEN COVERED
IN DARK COLORED LEATHER KEEPING
ITS MUTE.
MATERIAL FOR SEATING

 Padding material shall be flexible polyurethane foam which conforms to

the standards of the California Bureau of Home Furnishings 117. The back
shall be 2” thick. The seat shall be 3” thick.
 Seating fabric shall be with the color to be selected from the standard
choice of colors. The inner back and seat shall be upholstered by attaching
the fabric to the inside wood back and seat panels. All upholstery shall be
first quality without creases, stretch lines, or wrinkles.
 Exposed wood on the outer back and seat panels shall be veneer. The
panel edges shall be stained to match the veneer faces. The arms shall be
solid wood. All wood shall be stained in any of the manufacturer’s
standard finishes.
STAIRCASES
All staircases shall be constructed entirely of bricks, stone
cement or concrete with fire resisting roof ceiling. There
shall be at least two staircases ofwidth not less than
1.50mts to provide access to any gallery or upper floor
in the buildings which is intended to be used by the
public . The treads and risers of steps shall be of uniform
width and height. All staircases shall have on both sides
strong handrails firmly secured to the wall by strong
metal brackets. No staircase shall discharge into the
passage or corridor against or across the direction of exit
DOOR
 wood and metal acoustical doors are used in premier live
performance venues and industrial applications where noise
and sound control is of primary concern.
 The Single & Double acoustic internal door sets are fire rated
& available in a wide range of wood & Laminate finishes.
They are used wherever high sound reduction performance
required between noise sensitive area such as Private offices,
Conference Hall, Auditorium, Theaters, Recording studio,
Music hall, Stadium, Lecture Hall, Hotel, Museum, Library,
Banks, Courts, Multi-function hall, Meeting rooms.
