To isolate outdoor noise, these three types of soundproof glass can help

Urban noise has become one of the headaches in many people's daily lives. Although the government has taken various measures to ensure it, there are special groups in the family, such as infants and the elderly, who need a relatively quiet living environment. Therefore, these three types of soundproof glass can be considered to provide a peaceful living environment for the family.

1. Hollow glass

At present, most doors and windows choose to use insulated glass for sound insulation. Two or more pieces of glass are bonded together to form a dry gas space in the middle, which plays a role in sound insulation and heat preservation. At the same time, performance can be improved in various aspects through tempering, coating and other operations, which is quite popular in the market.

However, insulated glass has a more noticeable effect on medium to high frequency noise, such as human voices and horn sounds, while its effect on low-frequency traffic sounds (such as trains, airplanes, engines) is average.

2. Vacuum glass

Vacuum glass is similar to insulating glass, but the gap between the two layers of glass is close to a vacuum environment. In a vacuum environment, heat and sound cannot be transmitted, so the sound insulation performance is very excellent. It is a superstar in the glass products industry. Although it cannot completely isolate all noise, the effect is still very good.

However, vacuum glass has not yet become popular, and once gas enters the vacuum layer of the glass, it will affect its performance and lifespan. So it needs to be carefully maintained during use.

3. Laminated glass

Laminated glass is generally composed of two layers of glass and film, which can block mid to low frequency traffic noise. It is commonly used as soundproof glass on busy traffic arteries, but it is not very suitable for doors and windows because laminated glass is relatively heavy. According to current national building door and window standards, the hardware of doors and windows using laminated glass is more prone to damage.

When choosing which type of soundproof glass to use, the decision can be made based on the size of the required soundproof area, the height of the floor, etc. Generally, the smaller the window area and the higher the floor, the easier the soundproof and noise reduction will be.
