More and more buildings are being built following the trend of open architectural environments with an increased use of glass for exterior and interior walls and windows. In such structures architects, engineers and interior designers prefer to use laminated glass to drown out noise. Exterior sounds are a great nuisance for buildings built in busy metropolises, along main roads and highways. In crowded spaces, interior sound pollution can make it difficult to concentrate and hamper privacy.
A Sound Choice:
This is the reason why Impala Glass Industries’ laminated glass is a preferred product incorporated by top architects, engineers and interior designers in their projects in Nairobi, Kenya. Laminated glass boasts of a higher sound reduction index between the 125Hz and 4,000Hz frequencies than monolithic glass of equal thickness. The PVB’s shear damping efficiency makes laminated glass an efficient product for sound control. This sound dampening is due to the PVB interlayer’s low elastic property.
A Perfect Fit:
Be it business offices, board rooms, meeting rooms, cubicles or shops–commercial spaces make the use of high-performance and dynamic laminated glass in windows, walls and partitions as they offer reduced outdoor noise, better energy saving and lesser ultraviolet light carpet and upholstery fading.
Be it hotel and restaurant spaces where privacy is a specification, acoustic laminated glass by Impala Glass in Kenya is regarded not just for its acoustic appeal but also for the safety which the interlayer in the laminated glass provides to hold the fragments of glass together in case of impact.
In classrooms and lecture halls in educational institutes, recording studios and broadcast facilities, concert halls, theatres, auditoriums and museums– it is durable and versatile laminated glass which is favored as an outstanding noise barrier.
