Soundproof glass is glass that has the ability to effectively block noise.
No matter what type of glass is made, it must have a total thickness of not less than 12 mm.
(In the case of double glazing There must be a gap between the glass 70 mm or more)
and should have a Sound Transmission Class or a STC value of 30 or more
If the glass is thicker than 12 mm, the higher the STC, the higher the STC.
It will also block more noise as well.
📍 There are 4 types of soundproof glass (Acoustic Glass).
1. Single-layer glass (Single Glazing). This type of glass is very thick.
The better the soundproofing, most of the time.
2. Laminated Glass is a glass that is quite popular because it provides high security. When the glass is broken, the film layer is in the middle between the two sheets of glass.
3. Double Glazing: 2 layers of glass to effectively insulate sound.
There must be at least 70 mm (7 cm) of space in the middle between the glass to obtain a higher STC.
4. Double Glazing Mix & Match
But it will provide increased sound protection performance. The glass sheet will change from single layer glass to laminated glass instead of the inner wall.
🔅 Distinctive properties of soundproof glass (Acoustic Glass)
- have strength Resistant to intrusion or theft, has a long service life.
- Can be cleaned easily
- Reduces UV rays and effectively block out external noise
🔅 Inferior properties of soundproof glass (Acoustic Glass)
