Acoustic Glass

Tecdur Acoustic Glass is a specialist sound reduction glass designed to dramatically reduce sound levels within living spaces. Sound levels vary depending on the environment, for example a busy road will generate a sound level of around 70dB. By contrast a room would be considered quiet with a sound level of around 30dB. Therefore to achieve the required level of ambient sound within a living space, the external level may need to be reduced by as much as 40dB or more. Glazing thickness and glass composition both influence the amount of sound attenuation or ‘soundproofing’ achieved. Typically 4mm single glazing will provide sound reduction of 29dB Rw while standard double glazing (4mm glass both sides) will only provide 31dB Rw.

Why use Acoustic Glass?

By introducing acoustic interlayers into our glass constructions, we can provide improved sound reduction, thereby significantly reducing the sound entering the space. Tecdur Acoustic Glass incorporates one or more specialist sound reducing interlayers designed to provide sound reduction of up to 42dB Rw. The acoustic interlayer used within our soundproof glass is totally clear and has no impact on visual quality. What’s more, whether you are a quantity surveyor or architect, Tecdur Acoustic Glass can also eliminate the need for obtrusive secondary glazing.

Therefore, Tecdur Acoustic Glass is an ideal solution for sound reduction for office partitions, manufacturing environments, hospitality spaces, schools and much more. In addition, the sound reduction achieved can vary across different frequencies. Thus the most common measure used is a ‘weighted’ average sound reduction=Rw.
