It is very unique in that it employs acoustical and vibration engineering personnel with extensive infield experience who can identify and recommend solutions with the various products they manufacture. All products are U.S.-made with U.S. materials. The company's unique patented noise dampening materials and products solve small to large residential, commer- cial and industrial noise problems. Not only does Acoustiblok use the most advanced "acoustical prediction model- ing" software, but it now employs and pioneers the use of a stunning new prod- uct, the "Acoustical Real-Time Video Imaging System" (ARTVIS ® ), which for the first time ever allows one to actually see sound/noise real-time as it is occur- ring. This allows the engineer to actually see the problem, rather than spending time using microphones and making assumptions regarding the problem. This system was used with great effect recent- ly when Acoustiblok was called upon to resolve extreme- ly low frequency noise throughout a city emanating from three large power plants in Brazil. Acoustiblok Corporation was found- ed by the president of the company, Lahnie Johnson, more than 20 years ago in Tampa, Florida. It currently supplies product to more than 50 countries world- wide. After working in the aerospace industry during the historic "race for space," Johnson developed a passion for the science of acoustics.

Much more than a logo update, rebrand- ing has created a system of expression that galvanizes NARI's 6,000-plus mem- ber-companies, cements the value of NARI's programs and services and telegraphs externally to consumers a brand promise that emboldens the value of remodelers to homeowners and com- munities. NARI National Board President, Dale Contant, MCR, CRPM, UDCP, remarks, "The fresh NARI rebranding program is a tremendous opportunity to let the stakeholders in the remodeling industry know what NARI is about. 'Remodeling Done Right™' is more than a tagline, it is in our asso- ciation members' DNA. Our Strategic Plan contin- ues to increase consumer awareness, and remodel- ing members' profession- alism with innovative pro- grams to enhance mem- bership value." Excellence. Integrity. Professionalism. NARI's commitment to building a strong industry image and promoting that image to consumers is supported by members who adhere to the Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice and who take Continued on Page 61 Continued on Page 61
