Introduction to Şişecam Acoustic Laminated Glass
Şişecam Acoustic Laminated Glass is a specialized sound insulation glass developed by Şişecam Flat Glass. It features a unique acoustic interlayer that acts as a dampening core between glass panes, effectively preventing sound frequencies from transferring between panes. This glass is designed for environments with high noise levels and also offers the safety benefits of standard laminated glass.
Applications- Interpreting booths
- Office separations
- Meeting rooms
- Concert areas
It is ideal for areas with excessive noise from sources such as road, rail, air traffic, factories, or nightclubs.
Sound Insulation Values
The document provides a table of glass configurations with their respective sound insulation values (Rw, C, Ctr). For example, a configuration of 8+0.76A+8 has an Rw value of 44, indicating its sound insulation capability.
Performance Comparison
Şişecam Acoustic Laminated Glass offers a 3dB improvement over Şişecam Laminated Glass and a 5dB improvement over Şişecam Clear Float Glass. A 10dB reduction in sound equates to a 50% decrease in perceived noise.
Noise Levels and Examples- 140 dB: Jet aircraft, short distance away (Detrimental)
- 130 dB: Rock music concert
- 105 dB: Pneumatic drill
- 90 dB: Urban road traffic (Very High)
- 82 dB: Loud factory hall
- 80 dB: Loud radio music (High)
- 62 dB: Railway traffic at high speed (Medium)
- 50 dB: Office noise
- 40 dB: Low level music in the house (Low)
- 20 dB: Whispering (Very Low)
- 0 dB: Threshold of hearing
Recommendations for Noise Reduction- Increasing glass thickness improves noise reduction for low frequencies.
- Using glass of different thicknesses in double glazing provides additional benefits.
- Laminated and acoustic laminated glass can be used singly or in combination for enhanced noise reduction.
