Acoustic Glass
Laminated glass configurations specifically designed to reduce sound transmission, utilizing specialized acoustic interlayers that dampen sound waves across a broad frequency range.
Technical Details
Acoustic glass uses specialized PVB or resin interlayers with enhanced viscoelastic properties that convert sound energy into heat. Performance is measured by Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating. Standard monolithic tempered glass achieves STC 28-32, while acoustic laminated configurations can achieve STC 36-45+. Asymmetric glass thickness combinations (different thickness plies) further improve acoustic performance by disrupting resonance frequencies.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much noise do glass enclosures block?
Standard tempered glass provides STC 28-32 (moderate noise reduction). INFINITYGLASS™ acoustic laminated options achieve STC 36-45+, reducing perceived noise by approximately 50-75%. This is significant for rooftop enclosures near busy streets or airports.
