CMS Acoustics Solutions - Vertiface Composition takes game, set
and match at Ryton Comprehensive School
CMS Acoustics has worked with Gateshead Council to
ensure sporting activity is no longer a racket at Ryton
Comprehensive School, Tyne & Wear, after supplying
Vertiface Composition – a retrospectively applied
acoustic wall covering system to control high
reverberation levels within the school’s new build
sports hall.
Adhering directly onto finished interior wall surfaces
to deliver an aesthetically appealing acoustic
treatment, 350m2 of Vertiface Composition material was
installed onto the upper half of the sports hall walls
following the failure of an existing product that was
expected to deliver the necessary levels of acoustic
performance.
Needing to improve noise control whilst protecting the
wall surfaces from balls and other games equipment used
in games activity, Gateshead Council consulted CMS
Acoustics, who recommended Vertiface Composition for its
ability to effectively absorb reverberated sound without
appearing to be a corrective measure.
Installing Vertiface Composition onto finished interior
wall surfaces can achieve a Noise Reduction Coefficient
(NRC) of up to 0.8, typically reducing reverberated
noise by approximately 80 per cent.
David Holder, director of CMS Acoustics, comments: “In
any area where reverberation is a problem, Vertiface
Composition can help to deliver optimum acoustic
performance whilst also providing an aesthetically
appealing finish.
“At Ryton Comprehensive, Vertiface Composition is
providing a two-fold benefit in that it is helping to
control excessive reverberation whilst standing up to
the impact of balls hitting its surface due to the
material’s high level recovery properties.”
Vertiface Composition is made from 100% polyester fibres
that are thermally bonded in a non-woven matrix and
laminated to a high density non-woven polyester backing.
Now available as a ‘Class A’ sound absorber, the
Vertiface Composition range is offered in a fine velour
or rib finish.
With a choice of 12, 16 and 22mm thicknesses, Gateshead
Council selected the 12mm specification in order to
achieve the level of reverberation control required
within the Ryton Comprehensive sports hall.
Available in simple to install rolls or tiles, Vertiface
Composition offers a retrospective and cost effective
acoustic solution. Offered with a collection of 30
colours, Gateshead selected ‘butter’ to reflect the
colour scheme of the sports hall.
Particularly suited to the education sector, concert
halls, churches, theatres and libraries, Vertiface
Composition can be used in any area that is affected by
reverberated sound.
The Vertiface Composition range is a safe, non toxic,
non irritant, recyclable product that is resistant to
moisture and fading. It also allows the use of drawing
pins should its surface be required as a notice board.
