New acoustic calculator
28th July 2015

GUARDIAN INDUSTRIES Glass Group in the UK has introduced an updated Acoustic Calculator, an industry tool that helps glass and building professionals identify the best insulating glass unit (IGU) configuration to meet a project’s specific glazing requirements.

This 2.0 version, available free of charge, now offers access to more than 37,000 calculated acoustic values, including octave band centre frequencies, from 125 to 4,000 hz, and provides the acoustic performance for some of the most obscure insulating glass unit configurations, such as thick glass and thick laminated constructions. It is also mobile and tablet optimised.

The types of glass covered include standard float glass, laminated glass which offers enhanced performance in terms of safety and sound control, and Guardian LamiGlass Sound Control, which combines acoustic performance with all the benefits of traditional laminated safety glass.

The new Acoustic Calculator 2.0 is part of the Guardian Plus business support programme for the industry within the UK and Ireland.

Steven Scrivens, Marketing Manager at Guardian Glass UK, said: “Today it is becoming more common for building projects to be specified with acoustic performance values.

These focus on the decibel performance and the octave band frequencies that identify the level of different sounds. Accurately identifying these factors allows us to more effectively take steps to reduce noise pollution reduced to accommodate the noise pollution in the selected project areas, such as airports, trains, traffic, clubs, stadiums, and so on.”
