Music Education Sounds Great

Bronx, NY (September 28) - -What does this concert of IAC components have in common? IAC Noise-Lock® Side Lites, IAC Noise-Lock® Glass Transom panels, IAC Noishield® Solid Transom Panels, IAC VisionWall®, and of course IAC Noise-Lock® Doors? Answer: The Chautauqua School of Music in Chautauqua, NY.

IAC supplied new exterior door and window systems for the new expansion block at the Chautauqua School of Music. The practice rooms where constructed of traditional building materials and each space enhanced with IAC Noise-Lock® doors and Vision Wall Side Lites and Transoms designed on the basis of guaranteed high in-field noise reduction.

Using a ‘value engineering’ approach the IAC door and window opening components were acoustically rated from STC 43 to STC 55. Each practice space was evaluated according to its location and the type of instruments that were going to be played in each space.

Architecturally the doors and windows were designed using vision panels in the doors and a variety of finishes. The durable Kynar finish for our aluminum extrusions that form part of our Vision Wall assured a perfect match to the existing finishes and we were able to maintain the integrity of the exterior aspect of the building.

This creative combination of IAC components in this project is thanks to the Access System team at IAC America and the IAC technical sales representative Mr Doug Abt of Electrolab in Western New York who worked to bring this project to completion.

IAC is now finalizing its NEW line of AccuTone™2 Concert Series Modular Practice Rooms enhanced with ADR Technology, designed to encourage music education worldwide.
