A Sound Solution: Reducing Unwanted Noise with Acoustic Louvre Windows

Revolutionary strides have been made in designing louvre windows with exceptional sound insulation. Safetyline Jalousie is the recognised leading driver for these developments. What sets Safetyline Jalousie apart from other windows is the use of marine-grade seals with a Water Penetration Resistance of 800pa. In the context of noise reduction, this serves as a crucial component in sealing gaps for a flawless window installation that can significantly contribute to optimum sound insulation.

In tests carried out at the National Acoustics Laboratories in accordance with Australian Standard AS 1191-2002, these impressive louvre windows achieved a weighted sound reduction index of Rw (C;Ctr) = 33 (0;-1) dB. This 33dB reduction was achieved with the Safetyline Jalousie louvre window frame and 6.38mm laminate glass.

Pushing the envelope further, Safetyline Jalousie's louvre window with Viridian 6.5mm VLam™ Hush laminate glass has been proven to increase sound insulation by a further 6%. VLam™ Hush's specially developed interlayer can effectively dampen noise, reducing outside sound by 34% with an incredible weighted sound reduction index of 35dB versus ordinary glass.

Given its remarkable sound insulation properties, it's no wonder that Safetyline Jalousie is the preferred choice specified by architects and construction managers in supplying louvre windows for buildings that are constantly exposed to high noise. Here are among the numerous successful projects that employ Safetyline Jalousie's high-performance, noise-reducing louvre windows.
