COLINWELL SUPPLY ACOUSTIC MASONRY TO BRAND NEW ST MARYS YOUTH CLUB FACILITY IN CREGGAN Colinwell supplied their specialist EchoCheck Acoustic Masonry Block to the brand new £2 million state of the art youth facility for St Mary’s Youth Club in the heart of the Creggan community. This block has been designed to offer market-leading levels of sound absorption efficiency. It controls sound reverberation in big spaces like sports halls, helping it reach its audience without distortion or reflection, while at the same time minimising noise penetration through walls to adjoining areas by absorbing sound waves. EchoCheck Acoustic Blocks achieves their sound absorption using a slot and chamber arrangement in the face of the block. These slots allow sound to travel into the hollow cores, which then capture, manage, and diffuse sound waves of all frequencies to great effect. They are also robust, can be built into the very fabric of the building and can be roller-painted, ensuring that the space remains an acoustically ambient space throughout the building’s life. Colinwells Echocheck blocks where used throughout the facility including in the brand-new sports hall, common area and music room. Michael McGuigan, Sales Director for Colinwell says, “We like to challenge the conventional ways of doing things, be that manufacturing methods, or new product offerings. This allows us to offer our customers innovative new products like our EchoCheck block”. www.colinwell.com
