How
it WorksUpgrading Existing Windows & Doors The
Sound Barrier System is an add-on glazing system installed on the inside of existing
windows or glass doors, creating a double-glazed unit to reduce noise transmission.
The advantages are that existing windows do not have to be replaced and window
style is individually matched.
The air pocket created between the original
window and the Sound Barrier System provides an insulating medium for both noise
and thermal insulation. Both the original windows and the Sound Barrier System
can be opened for cleaning and ventilation when outside noise is not excessive.
Depending on factors such as the condition and design of the existing window frame,
the Sound Barrier System can reduce noise transmission by up to 75%. Replacement
Windows & Doors & New ProjectsThe Sound
Barrier Double Window The
Sound Barrier Double Window is a double glazing system using award winning Australian
designs in aluminium (Australian Design Award 1987). This system is suitable for
use when the highest possible noise reduction is required or when existing windows
and doors are in need of replacement.
The double system works in much the
same way as the add on system, with the added benefit of an acoustically rated
primary (outside) window and acoustic sealing of the entire unit to the building
during installation. Depending on chosen configuration and glazing STC 40-50+
is provided. |
