PVB Polyvinyl butyral architectural glass ACOUSTIC

Modern building designs emphasize liberal use of glass. However, sound transmission can be significant through ordinary glass. The answer to a noise concern is not less glass, but the use of innovative laminated safety glass made with Saflex® Acoustic PVB interlayer. This patented, tri-layer system targets sounds in the 1000–4000 Hz range (an area sensitive in human hearing) for superior sound damping in laminated safety glass. As a result of Saflex Acoustic PVB interlayer availability, architects and engineers can design elegant spaces that reduce perceived loudness by up to 50%—decreasing transmitted sound up to 10 decibels versus non-laminated glass, in the critical frequency range. Saflex Acoustic PVB interlayer is also compatible with the Vanceva® Colors and Earth Tones interlayer systems, so architects and designers can create safe spaces without sacrificing style or comfort.
