Omaha city business is sound, thanks to pinta acoustic ceiling tiles
CONTOUR® Ceiling Tiles reduce echo, improving acoustics of meetings and broadcasts.

People "in chambers" for City Council and County Board meetings in Omaha, Neb., wanted to hear the details of legislative proceedings. When bad acoustics marred participants’ ability to hear, the Omaha-Douglas Public Building Commission took action and adhered CONTOUR® Ceiling Tiles from pinta acoustic directly to the existing ceiling. Now, all parties are pleased with the sounds of the city’s business.

"The City Council legislative chambers space was built in the early 1970s and has always had acoustical problems," says Ron Bublotz, building services manager, Omaha-Douglas Public Building Commission. "About five years ago, we upgraded the audio and TV broadcast systems, hoping to improve acoustics. But it almost made the situation worse. The microphones were more sensitive, which compounded the acoustical problem."

"Acoustical testing revealed that most of the problem was related to the ceiling, which didn’t absorb sound but rather caused sound to bounce back or reverberate—resulting in impaired communication."
