Acoustics Reduction Design

In today's fast-paced world, creating a quiet and comfortable indoor environment is more important than ever. This is where the acoustic design of windows and doors, known as fenestration systems, plays a crucial role. Effective soundproofing in these systems not only enhances comfort but also boosts productivity and well-being.

These comprehensive approaches not only create a more peaceful and productive space but also contributes to better overall health and quality of life. At CIVRO, our commitment to these principles ensures that our solutions meet the highest standards of acoustic performance, delivering exceptional results for noise-sensitive areas.

Why Acoustic Reduction Design Matters

Comfort Improvement

Soundproof doors and windows help create a peaceful indoor environment by reducing external noise. This is essential for residential areas where tranquility is key to relaxation and quality of life.

Increased productivity: in offices, schools, and healthcare facilities, minimising noise is critical for concentration and efficiency. Good acoustic design helps ensure that these spaces remain quiet and conducive to work and learning.

Health Benefits

Chronic noise exposure can lead to health issues like stress, hearing loss, and sleep disturbances. Effective soundproofing helps protect occupants' health by reducing these risks.

How Do We Reduce The Unpleasant Acoustics?

Right and High-Quality Glazing

Choosing the right glazing is essential for creating a quiet and cosy environment. At CIVRO, we recommend laminated glass, double or triple glazing, and acoustic glass for noise-sensitive areas. Laminated glass, which incorporates a sound-resistant polyvinyl butyral (PVB) interlayer, is especially effective at absorbing more decibels and reducing noise transmission, particularly for low-frequency sounds.

Superior Sealing and Insulation

Ensuring that windows and doors are properly sealed is crucial. CIVRO extensively use high-quality EPDM gaskets and sealing strips to prevent sound leakage. Additionally, good insulation within the frames enhances soundproofing.

Advanced Frame Design

Multi-chambered frames offer better sound insulation than single-chambered frames because each chamber acts as a buffer, reducing the energy of sound waves as they pass through the frame. These chambers also trap and dampen sound waves, decreasing their intensity and blocking a range of frequencies, both high and low, while minimising vibrations that can transmit sound.

Proper Installation

Even the best materials won't perform well if not installed correctly. Professional installation ensures that frames are securely fitted and all joints and gaps are sealed, preventing unwanted noise infiltration.

Soundproof Curtains and Blinds

Adding soundproof curtains or blinds can further enhance the acoustic performance of fenestration systems. These additions absorb sound and reduce echo, providing an extra layer of noise control.
