Systems Used in This Project
54 Plus – Acoustic Glass (Soundproof)
54 PLUS takes all of the advantages and versatility of 54 CLASSIC and takes it one step further. Instead of recessed tracks 3/8″ (10mm) below the finished floor, as required for 54 CLASSIC, 54 PLUS offers a flush head and sill track.
This system is specifically designed for cold climates. It is optimized for 54mm (2-1/8″) triple-pane insulated glass. The 54 Series can accommodate oversized “jumbo” double-pane glass. Multiple laminated glass options are available when noise reduction and/or impact performance is desired.
Available configurations include fixed windows, multi-panel and sliding windows/doors (including pockets and corner-opening configurations) and guillotine (ascending and descending panels). Door automation can be integrated with all of our sliding doors.
54 PLUS Maximum Panel Size:
Domestic Standard Insulated Glass = 100″ x 144″
Domestic Jumbo Insulated Glass = 126″ x 268″
European Insulated Glass = 126″ x 295″
How Does Acoustic Glass Work?
Sound moves in waves, and the greater the power of the wave, the louder the noise will be and the further it will travel. The soundproof membrane inside the glass reduces sound by absorbing the sound wave’s energy and stops the vibrations from passing through the glass.
The glass used comes in varying thicknesses depending on your needs. The more noise you’re trying to block, the thicker the glass should be. You should also have more than one interlayer in the centre too.
Polyvinyl butyral (PVB) acoustic membrane is commonly used as the soundproof interlayer. It seals the glass planes together and makes it look identical to a single pane of glass.
How effective the noise reduction of the glass is depends on three factors:
- The first is how thick the glass panes are; more mass equals more sound blocking ability
- The second is how many pieces of interlayers there are
- The final factor is how much space there is between the glass
