Sound Transmission Control
Sound Reduction
Sound reduction is essential to maintaining peace of mind in the modern world. More than ever we are barraged by a background din of unwanted noise. It is particularly hard to concentrate when sounds from one space filter into a work environment that is meant to be private. This is especially so in open-plan offices, but as more people are working from home offices, it is a growing problem in the home. Distracting noise reduces efficiency and increases stress. Acoustic privacy is critical not only in boardrooms, consulting rooms, and health care settings but in residential spaces as well.
Which is why all EuroLite interior doors and windows include “Wave Disrupting” sound technology that reduces sound transmission by up to 50% over normal dual or triple pane windows.
EuroLite achieves STC (sound transmission control) ratings of up to 40 by utilizing three proprietary processes:
1. We utilize slightly different thicknesses of glass, so sound hitting one pane is transmitted at a frequency that does not resonate with the second pane.
2. Our thermal break system works to dampen sounds passing through the frame.
3. Our heavy duty ‘4 Seal System’ works to prevent ‘acoustic flanking’, or sound passing around the sash.
