Soundproof glass provides you with a peaceful living environment

With the development of society and the acceleration of the pace of life, everyone's work and home life are filled with various noises. After busy work every day, they hope to have a quiet and leisurely home environment. But in real life, the square dancing of middle-aged women in residential areas is not uncommon, so more and more people are using soundproof glass in home decoration to achieve this long cherished wish. However, everyone's understanding of soundproof glass is not comprehensive enough. Next, the editor will share with you the uses and precautions for selecting soundproof glass.

1、 What is soundproof glass

Soundproof glass is a type of glass product that plays a role in shielding or weakening sound. It is composed of double or multiple layers of glass with the same texture but different thicknesses, and is specially processed as a soundproof layer. The soundproof layer glass is made by firmly bonding PVB film at high temperature and high pressure, or filling aluminum alloy frames with desiccants between the soundproof layers, and then bonding the edges with sealant.

2、 The purpose of soundproof glass

1. Reduce noise

The main and most direct function of soundproof glass is to reduce noise, effectively reduce the resonance of sound waves, prevent the transmission of sound, and create a quiet home environment.

2. Block UV rays

Soundproof glass can block 99% of the damage caused to human skin by ultraviolet rays from sunlight, while effectively preventing furniture from fading and deteriorating.

3. Dustproof and Waterproof

Good sealing prevents dust and sand from entering the house, even small dust particles cannot penetrate, effectively protecting household appliances and furniture from damage, while also reducing cleaning.

Even if water seeps into the first level window, good confidentiality is enough to keep you at ease.

3、 Purchase precautions

1. Material selection

The glass materials of soundproof glass windows are divided into ordinary glass, insulated glass, laminated insulated glass, and vacuum glass. Among these types of glass, vacuum glass has the best sound insulation effect because vacuum glass separates two pieces of glass and evacuates the air in the middle, forming a vacuum layer between the glasses. Therefore, no matter what kind of noise is transmitted into the room through the glass.

Hollow glass can only isolate high-frequency or low-energy noise, and its sound insulation effect is not very good for low-frequency or high-energy noise.

The sound insulation effect of laminated insulating glass is average, but it has high safety and is not easily broken.

The selection of soundproof glass windows in home renovation should be based on the living environment. For floors above 20 and without trains or large trailers nearby, insulated glass or laminated glass can be considered. If the floor is low and close to the road or elevated bridge, or if there are low-frequency noise sources nearby, then vacuum glass should be considered to completely solve the noise problem.

2. Sealing selection

Sealing refers to the degree of sealing of windows, including the sealing between glass and frames. The sealing between the frame and the frame after closing the window, as well as the sealing between the window and the wall after installation, collectively affect the sealing performance of the window.

The sealing strip determines the degree of window sealing. Currently, there are two main types of sealing strips on the market: wool sealing strips and rubber sealing strips.

Both wool sealing strips and rubber sealing strips have their own disadvantages. Wool sealing strips are prone to shedding hair after prolonged use, greatly reducing the sealing effect. On the other hand, rubber sealing strips are prone to hardening and aging after exposure to wind, sun, and rain, which also reduces their sealing effect.

3. Window frame selection

From the perspective of sound insulation effect, both aluminum alloy windows and plastic steel windows are good. Aluminum alloy windows are easy to install, reasonably priced, and widely used. However, ordinary aluminum alloy windows produce louder sound when pulled and conduct heat quickly. After long-term use, the sealing performance will gradually decrease, affecting later use. The new type of broken bridge aluminum alloy window can compensate for these shortcomings.

4. Quality selection:

Check the materials: including aluminum profiles, glass, hardware, whether the color is consistent, and whether the hardware assembly is complete.

Check the processing: High quality aluminum alloy windows are finely processed, with smooth cutting lines and consistent angles (the main frame is usually 45 or 90 degrees). There should be no obvious gaps or smooth opening and closing during the splicing process.

Looking at glass: Check if it is insulated glass and if it has a coating. Coating with composite film is generally corrosion-resistant, wear-resistant, and has high glossiness.

Check the size: Check if the window size is correct.
