The growing concern over detrimental noise in
densely populated areas has called for improvements in the sound
insulation of our building spaces. While laminated safety glass has
been optimized for safety and security and offers effective
screening of UV-radiation as an additional benefit, its acoustic
performance has come into limelight recently.
Special PVB-films with enhanced vibration damping behavior by
absorption and dissipation, provides a solution for glazing systems
designed to meet high sound attenuation requirements.
While glass is inherently a poor acoustical performer, higher
performance levels can be achieved by using laminated glass or as
one of the panes of a sealed insulating glass unit.
This makes it appropriate for use in study centers, hospitals,
recording studios and around heavy traffic roads, railway and
airports.
For best performance, it is very important that suitable windows or
frames be used. Operable windows must have good seals and should not
leak. |
