Facade & Noise control
In busy city centres, near transport hubs, or in high-traffic areas, controlling external noise is essential for occupant comfort.
Key considerations:
- Noise attenuation – measured in Rw.
- Balanced design – combine acoustics with thermal and solar performance.
- Customised solutions – different areas of a façade may need different noise reduction levels.
Recommended glass types:
- Laminated acoustic glass with PVB or special sound-control interlayers
- IGUs combining laminated acoustic glass panes with insulated cavities
- Asymmetrical glazing thicknesses to dampen different sound frequencies
