Corningís Acoustic Room System (ARS) is just the first amongst many acoustic products that the Acoustics Systems Business will offer. Designed for retrofitting an existing space, or for new construction, the ARS is an excellent solution for creating a top-quality media room that is also affordable, easily installed and good looking. ""The Acoustic Room System makes the quality of movie theatre entertainment a reality for the average homeowner,"" said Wayne Power General Manager, Acoustic Systems Business division at Owens Corning.

With its state-of-the art Acoustic Laboratory at the companyís Granville, Ohio, Science & Technology Center, Owens Corning is extremely well positioned to make high quality acoustic room treatment a convenient aspect of building or remodeling a home.
