The new Donald Dungan Costa Mesa Library, designed by architecture firm Johnson Favaro, features a stunning application of StarSilent seamless acoustical plaster.

Noise Barriers’ QuietSwing acoustical doors are easier to operate thanks to the newly re-imagined EZ Open door seals. The state-of-the-art EZ Open seal is designed to give a tiny push to help open the door and disengage the magnetic seals once the door latch is retracted. This reduces the force needed to unseal the door to less than 3lbs for a 3’x7′ STC-51 door!
