Insulated glass unit
The insulated glass unit (IGU), plays the most important role in the acoustic performance of a window/door system.
Among the many types of glass available, laminated glass is particularly effective at reducing noise due to a special film used between the two panes of glass. For example, 6.38mm of laminated glass consists of two panes of 3mm glass and a film of 0.38mm. This design reduces the vibration and dampens sound waves.
Acoustic performance can be further improved with the use of thicker films and panes of glass. Ramarex offers various laminated glass products up to 12.5mm in thickness. In double or triple glazed glass units, it is best to combine laminated glass with annealed glass to dampen both low and high frequency noise.
