In an increasingly fast-paced world, the urban noise represents one of the main sources of stress for those who live or work in the city. Environmental discomfort, obstacles to concentration, sleep disturbances and potential damage to health are some of the consequences of prolonged exposure to noise, caused by the neighborhood, traffic, construction sites, stations or airports. The solution? The acoustic glass: an effective barrier that reduces noise pollution, improving living and working comfort.
More than laminated glass
Acoustic glass is a type of laminated glass designed to absorb and attenuate noise from outside. It is composed of two sheets coupled with an intermediate sound-absorbing layer of polyvinyl butyral that reduces the propagation of sound, as well as ensuring the anti-burglary and safety properties typical of laminated glass.
Performance and applications
La soundproofing performance of this glass is perfected not only by the presence of the interspace, but also by the increase in thickness of the single sheet and the use of asymmetrical sheets.
Acoustic glass can be used in a wide range of applications, from residential accommodation to public buildings, such as hotels, schools, airports and hospitals.
Investing in acoustically controlled glass allows you to improve your quality of life. Thanks to technological progress, it is now possible to combine aesthetics, safety and performance in a single glass solution. In fact, sound-absorbing glass can be combined with other products to obtain multifunctional glasses as: decorative glass, solar-controlled, thermally insulated and low-maintenance.
