Deceuninck makes a noise with
acousting testing ‘first’ claim
21st August 2018

Deceuninck is claiming a first for any UK window system by committing to systematic acoustic testing of its full product range.

The company says the testing, which is being run in partnership with Bluesky Certification and the University of Salford will help its fabricators and installers provide solutions to homeowners affected by high levels of external noise.

MD Rob McGlennon said: “Noise is a big and growing problem. A national survey by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs found that 48% of the 2,750 people surveyed in England and Wales felt their home life was being spoilt by noise. One in five said it kept them awake at night. Not only that but medical evidence is mounting of the severe effect of prolonged noise has on our health with higher instances of dementia, heart disease and strokes.”

He added that Deceuninck has already completed testing of our 2500 and 2800 casement; 2500 and 2800 Tilt & Turn; 5000 Tilt & Turn; and FRW Fully Reversible Window, with certified acoustic data testing of the rest of our range now underway.

“We’re really excited by this chance to make a difference,” Rob consluded. “Deceuninck aims to make it simple, quick and easy for fabricators and installers to benefit from this huge opportunity.”
