What is the Need of Soundproof Glass
There are various types of glass used for windows in residential as well as commercial areas. Among them is soundproof glass which has become highly popular in both homes and offices as it helps to reduce the surrounding noise and gives you complete peace and privacy.
Noise is not just seriously disturbing our quality of life, work and living conditions, but also causes damage to our health. In addition to irreparable hearing damage caused by permanent noise, also ailments as stress, nervousness, and cardiovascular disorders can result. This is why soundproofing your windows has become kind of necessary in this day and age.
With its soundproofing qualities, the glass dampens the soundwaves that fall on it and reflects them back to their original source. This means that the sound can’t pass through the glass, thus keeping you safe from the loud noise and sound vibrations that have more negative effects on your health than you can think of.
The unit of noise measurement is the decibel (dB).Our subjective perception of noise is subject to the following principle: if the level of noise in a room is reduced by 10 decibels with relation to that outside, we get the impression that it is reduced by half.
Ways to Cancel Noise
1. With the use of a film
Soundproof glass is made with two layers of glass that are bonded together with an interlayer of PVB. This interlayer helps to keep the two layers of glass together and gives it a single-paned appearance.in addition helps to dampen the noise and weaken the energy of the sound waves when they travel through the glass.
2. With the use of Insulated Glass Units (IGU's)
In an IGU two or more panes of glass are insulated with a spacer in between. Noise reduction glazing is based on the asymmetry of glass panes and the use of attenuation gases in the space between the panes
noise spectrum + Glass
The same noise levels might require different kinds of window constructions and sound insulating glass. Every source of noise has a specific frequency distribution, even if the intensity of the noise level in dB is the same
Yalodomi’s Echolam™ glazed units can achieve the acoustic insulation factor Rw between 30 and 54 dB, depending on the type of unit. Before choosing a suitable unit, the source of noise should always be specified and other influential factors should be identified. The company works by considering all the national as well as international quality standards, so you can be assured of the quality of the soundproof glass from us. Therefore, in all cases customers should contact us during an early planning stage, so that all specific requirements for the glass can be taken into consideration by our well qualified staff.
When defining the source of noise we use the so-called acoustic insulation coefficient Rw and corrective coefficients C and Ctr.
Is an average sound insulation value for the considered frequencies.
Corrective coefficient for sound sources containing a large number of low frequencies.
• Intra-urban street noise
• Rail traffic of low speed
• Propeller planes
• Airplanes with jet propulsion at a greater distance
• Disco music
• Production facilities with noise emission which is mainly of low frequency
Corrective coefficient for sound sources containing few low frequencies.
• Sound of normal frequency, such as speaking, listening to music, radio and TV
• Playing children
• Rail traffic, of medium and high speed
• Motorway traffic above 80km/h
• Airplanes with jet propulsion at a low distance
• Production facilities that emit noise of medium to high
Isolating interior building spaces from exterior sound is critical. Nearly all buildings have areas that could be adversely affected by high levels of sound transmitted from outside. Many constructions such as hotels airports, high-rises as well as those in densely populated commercial and residential areas, mandate Sound Reduction as a key design goal. Echolam is the ideal choice in these and another applications.
• offices and Retail centers
• schools hotels and government buildings
• theaters museums and other entertainment venues
• airports in surrounding structures
• hotels
• neighborhoods
With the growing tend of open architectural environments and increase use of glass for interior walls ,unwanted sound is on the rice. Unfortunately ordinary glass is a poor acoustic barrier. Interior sound population can make it more difficult to concentrate to speak on the phone or to keep information private and confidential. Many application opportunities exist were Echolam can provide increase interior security privacy and comfort.
• Business offices boardrooms meeting rooms and cubicles
• Hotel and restaurant spaces
• Medical Care Centers and health clinics
• School classrooms and lecture Halls
• Recording studios and Broadcasting facilities
• Concept calls theaters auditoriums and museums
• Legal investment in accounting private practices
• Home offices and theaters
Additional Benefits
Soundproof glass reduces noise, enhancing privacy and comfort.
