Acoustiblok, Inc has completed an innovative soundproofing and acoustics project at Beirut’s $25 million multiplex cinema Cinemacity.

Optimum noise and sound isolation comprising  a ‘box in a box’ construction, with mechanically isolated floating floors, walls, and spring hung ceiling, were implemented at the 300,000 square feet complex to enhance the cinematic experience in each of the 14 high end cinemas.

Acoustiblok’s 3mm isolation membrane was used in the construction of the walls, floors and ceilings, to attain maximum airborne sound isolation for the 2,400 seat complex.

In addition the Bar and Concession Area, that hosts eateries and coffee shops, was also custom designed with Acoustiblok’s QuietFiber absorption materials, which span the entire complex to reduce reflection build up and create a plush and inviting environment.

To achieve the required reduction in sound levels, an acoustic treatment was installed to the engine room, power plant, stern gears and hydraulics, as well as to accommodation berths and importantly to the sensitive surveying area where quieter ambient levels were essential.

“We are very pleased with the success of Cinemacity project. This was a huge endeavour that took over three years to complete. It is now the new benchmark for future cinemaplexes across the world -.”
