A special function film sandwiched between two sheets of glass demonstrates a high level of sound insulation improving quietness in building. BSG acoustic glass is outstanding in shutting out building exterior noises. Shielding a building's environment from increasing noise levels, especially near airports and busy highways, is a critical factor in the specification of glazing materials for both new and renovated structures. Laminated glass is a proven, effective solution for acoustical protection.
Sound Pressure is measured in decibels (dB) and has a logarithmic scale. A difference of 10dB indicates a difference of 10 times the sound pressure level. As a rule of thumb, the sound pressure level drops by about 6dB every time the distance is doubled. The sound transmission class (STC), measured in dB, is the common measure by which acoustical performance is rated. It is a weighted average over the frequency range 100 to 5,000 Hz of the sound transmission loss (STL).See Sound Attenuation Charts below-
