Isolating interior building spaces from exterior sound is critical. The use of innovative laminated safety glass made with Saflex Acoustic PVB Interlayer QS41 targets sounds in the 1000–4000 Hz range (an area sensitive to human hearing).
This patented, tri-layer system allows architects and engineers to design spaces that reduce perceived loudness by up to 50%, decreasing transmitted sound by up to 10 decibels versus non-laminated glass, in the critical frequency range.
Saflex Acoustic PVB Interlayer QS41 is compatible with the Vanceva® Colors and Earth Tones interlayer systems, so it is possible to design safe spaces without sacrificing style or comfort.
Benefits
In addition to its acoustic performance, Saflex window systems achieve the following benefits
Safety | Protecting building occupants and pedestrians from accidental glass impact, breakage, or fallout |
Security | Providing burglary and forced-entry resistance, ballistic (bullet) protection, and bomb-blast resistance |
Storm | Providing storm-resistant technology to laminated glazing systems |
Solar | Filtering more than 99% of UV rays, controlling visible light radiation, and reducing heat buildup and thermal stress |
Color System | The Vanceva® custom color system, whites collection, specialty colors, and colors match the standard-colored glass |
