Sound insulating glass
Peace and undisturbed work
Solar insulating glass is a specialized type of glass designed to minimize the amount of solar energy that enters a building while still allowing sufficient natural light to pass through. This type of glass is commonly utilized in contemporary architecture, particularly in large glass facades, windows, or roofs. Solar insulating glass offers several benefits, including:
- Protection against overheating
- Enhanced comfort and aesthetic appeal
- Energy savings
- Protection against UV radiation
In areas near highways, airports, or busy intersections, a key characteristic of insulating glass is its ability to greatly minimize the intrusion of external noise into indoor spaces. The primary measure used to evaluate the acoustic properties of glass fillings is the Weighted Sound Reduction Index Rw, which is expressed in decibels (dB) and indicates the effectiveness of the glass in blocking sound that travels through the air.
The soundproofing characteristics of double-glazed windows are achieved through various methods of their construction:
-
Insulating double glazing with uneven thickness of the glass panes and varying sizes of the space between them.
-
Insulating glasses that utilize laminated glass in place of one or both standard glass panes.
Sound insulating glasses, which incorporate laminated glass in their structure, can also function as safety glazing.
