Serenity Series sound control windows are designed
to reduce unwanted noise originating from the
exterior of the home and provide great energy
performance. Sound problems in the home can occur
from many sources including the close proximity to
transportation areas like busy highways or freeways,
rail lines and airports as well as neighbor kids
playing and dogs barking. While installing sound
control windows won’t eliminate all noises, these
problems can be greatly diminished, providing you
with a more comfortable home environment in which to
live, work and play.
How does a sound window work?
In spite of all the technological advances, the two
most important elements for reducing sound
penetration in windows remain relatively simple:
Glass and Air.
Adding glass and dead air space in between the glass
is still the most effective way of controlling
noise. Simply altering the thickness of the glass
and the amount of air space between each glass pane
changes the window’s sound transmission loss
capabilities and its corresponding STC rating.
Sound windows are most commonly referred to by their
Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating. STC is
a single-number rating of a material’s or an
assembly’s ability to resist airborne sound transfer
at the frequencies 125-4000 Hz. The frequencies
125-4000 Hz is consistent with the frequency range
of speech.
