Pilkington Optiphon™ is a high quality acoustic laminated glass that offers excellent noise reduction without compromising on light transmittance or impact performance. The desired acoustic performance can be achieved through combining various thicknesses of glass with a special PVB (polyvinylbutyral) interlayer.

How it works The highest noise insulation is achieved using an acoustic laminated glass. Glass controls noise by: Reflecting the noise back towards the source, and Absorbing the noise energy within the glass.

While ordinary insulating glass units (IGUs) offer some sound insulation, the best insulation is achieved by using an acoustic laminated glass, which controls noise by reflecting sound back towards the source and absorbing sound energy within the glass.

20 Oct 2019. Noise pollution is a growing environmental issue in today’s towns and cities. In a bid to block out the noise from the busy streets and skies, local authorities increasingly recognise the need to provide better sound insulation in their residents’ homes.

Innovations in coatings mean glass can be given a range of beneficial properties like thermal insulation, as well as solar and noise control. One of the most popular – but perhaps misunderstood – properties coatings can add to glass is self-cleaning.

Pilkington K Glass™ N. Pilkington K Glass™ N is the original hard coated, pyrolytic low-emissivity coated glass which became the most well-known and trusted brand by householders. Established for over 21 years and easily stocked, processed and installed, it has become the reliable solution for meeting Building Regulations concerning energy efficiency.

Noise Control. Pilkington Optiphon ... Pilkington has developed technology which automatically feeds back stress levels in the glass to control the temperatures in the lehr. Stage 5: Inspection. The float process is renowned for making perfectly flat, flaw-free glass. But to ensure the highest quality, inspection takes place at every stage.

Solar control glass products are also available in toughened or laminated form for safety and security requirements, and can also be combined with other properties such as noise control. This means such solutions offer greater functionality and value to end users than just reduced internal temperatures.

Noise Control. Pilkington Optiphon ... Differential heating to control temperature across the surface of the glass, and hence the resultant degree of bending, is also used for more complex shapes. The shaped glass pairs are then gradually cooled to room temperature before the PVB laminate is sandwiched between them. At this point the PVB is ...
