Acoustic testing of the DUALFRAME window system means that the
effects of noise pollution at sensitive sites can be reduced
Sound reasons to opt for Dualframe
Sapa Building Systems has subjected its DUALFRAME window
system to a series of acoustic tests to demonstrate how
the system can minimise noise pollution at sensitive
sites.
With more and more new build developments taking place
on 'brownfield' and other 'noisy' sites, there has been
growing concern about the potential for noise pollution
to affect the buildings with specifiers becoming ever
more aware of the need to provide insulation that
minimises the problem for the building's occupants.
BS8233:1999 - Sound Insulation & Noise Reduction for
Buildings – Code of Practice gives recommended interior
noise levels for various types of room occupancy and
usage: This is increasingly being used by specifiers to
ensure a comfortable and safe working and living
environment. Specifiers now expect data to be provided
regarding the performance of the window as a whole, not
just the glazing materials, as this issue becomes an
increasingly important design criterion.
Sapa’s involvement in a major project for Barratt Homes
in Brighton demanded that they subject the Dualframe
system to acoustic testing in order to be sure that it
met the demands of the specifiers for minimising the
noise pollution at the project site, which was adjacent
to busy roads and a railway line.
Three Dualframe windows – 55mm Tilt before Turn, 55mm
Pivot and 75mm Casement - were tested with varying
configurations of Pilkington double glazed sealed units
at Sound Research Laboratories and all were found to
provide high levels of acoustic protection.
The success of the tests provides specifiers with a
measurable performance when projects give rise to the
need for good acoustic protection.
