Noise Reduction
Saint-Gobain Glass
STADIP® SILENCE
Noise is a high factor of stress. It is possible to maintain a quiet interior space using efficient glazing adapted to the noise context where your glazing application is located. Noises can be very different. This ranges from urban traffic noise to the noise of an aircraft travelling overhead, as well as other general noise sources such as crowds of people and nearby worksites.
A standard double-glazing unit is generally not enough to cut noise levels. There is a very broad range of solutions to match the level of acoustic insulation glazing needed depending on the type of exterior noise pollution. The more the glazing of a building is exposed, the more important it is to select a glazing solution with a high acoustic performance. Double-glazing that includes acoustic insulation glazing laminated glass, like STADIP SILENCE, can significantly reduce the amount of noise pollution entering the glazing.
STADIP® AND STADIP PROTECT
Laminated safety and security glass STADIP or STADIP PROTECT, comprises two or more sheets of glass bonded together with one or more interlayers of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) film.
STADIP glass incorporates a single PVB sheet with a nominal thickness of 0.38 mm, distinguishing it from STADIP PROTECT glass which has a minimum thickness of 0.76 mm. Laminated glasses with different levels of safety and security can be obtained by varying the number and/or thickness of each of the components. If the glass breaks, the fragments of glass are held in place by the PVB interlayer(s). In fully framed installations the broken glass retains a residual strength while awaiting replacement.
