Soundproofing

Sound-insulating Glasses are specially designed to minimize the penetration of outside sounds and improve the acoustic comfort of interior spaces. Their thickness, weight and different layer thicknesses allow them to effectively suppress sounds of different frequencies, resulting in a higher level of noise protection in buildings.

The role of glass thickness in sound insulation

Glass thickness and weight: Sound-insulating glasses are typically thicker and heavier than standard glass. This greater mass is a key element in their ability to dampen sound. Thicker and heavier glass absorbs sound energy and reduces sound transmission.
Different thickness of glass in one window: In many soundproofing windows, one glass is thicker than the other. This treatment makes it possible to effectively suppress sounds of different frequencies. Sounds of different tones and frequencies are more effectively attenuated when one of the glass layers is tuned to a specific sound range.
Ability to absorb sound and reduce noise: Sound-insulating Glasses are evaluated for their ability to absorb sound and reduce noise. This capability is usually expressed in units of decibels (dB). The higher the value in dB, the more effective the sound attenuation and noise reduction of these glasses. Examples are 40 dB, 45 dB, 48 dB and 50 dB, which indicate the degree of noise protection provided by the glass in a given window.
Application of sound-insulating glass: Sound-insulating Glass is used in places where it is important to reduce outside noise, such as in residential buildings along busy streets, hospitals, hotels or office buildings. Thanks to their properties, these glasses allow building occupants and users to enjoy peace and quiet indoors, helping to maintain comfort.
