White Laminate Sound Dampening Safety Glass

So it is possible to produce a lighter laminated safety glass with a lower weight that improves sound attenuation by 7 db.

White laminate sound dampening safety glass.

While laminated glass was originally designed to prevent glass from shattering into many little pieces when it broke the construction of it led to it being able to dampen sound. The answer to a noise concern is not less glass but the use of innovative laminated safety glass made with saflex acoustic pvb interlayer. Laminated glass is a better sound insulator than monolithic annealed or tempered. The better the damping performance of the sandwich film the better the overall sound insulation performance of the laminated glass especially for the low frequency sound insulation performance.

Most shower enclosures use tempered glass but more often than in the past laminated glass is being used in some shower enclosures because it doesn t shatter into the tiny pieces. When these factors come together they reduce the vibrations sound creates and muffle most sounds that would come right through ordinary glass. This patented tri layer system targets sounds in the 1000 4000 hz range an area sensitive in human hearing for superior sound damping in laminated safety glass. Ertex laminated safety glass plate glass flat or curved even coloured comprising two or more panes with an intermediate layer to retain shards if shattered also providing residual strength and reducing the risk of injury through cutting or piercing.

In addition to the safety benefits of laminated glass its pvb interlayer provides an excellent barrier against noise. However sound transmission can be significant through ordinary glass. Home our products specific to laminated glass laminated acoustic glass 01 the lamination process bonds two pieces of glass together using an acoustic interlayer sheet giving a stronger structure that is harder to break and a reduction in noise from outside. Not only is glass s sound attenuation important but also its thermal insulation.

Using laminated glass for secondary glazing may give you some unwanted negatives. Sound attenuation with different damping layers. Laminated glass consists of two glass panes with an interlayer in between them. Laminated glass is safety glass because if broken the glass stays bonded to the plastic sheet that is between two separate lites of glass.

Laminated glass is an effective way to reduce unwanted outside noise. Varying the thicknesses will help to increase the sound dampening impact of your double glazed windows. Laminated glass has a good sound insulation heat insulation lighting and safety performance sound insulation performance is very good. The american society for testing and materials astm developed the outdoor indoor transmission class oitc to describe the sound isolation performance of materials.

For many years now buildings have been fitted with multiple glazing for this.
