Timber Door Acoustic Range
High-Performance Acoustic Solutions
Our acoustic timber windows and doors offer an exceptional solution for properties situated near busy roadways, railway lines, or flightpaths, helping you cultivate a quiet and tranquil interior environment.
Engineered to deliver superb sound insulation, our systems provide certified acoustic reduction ratings ranging from 33dB to 42dB. This extensive performance spectrum offers highly effective noise-dampening configurations, making them a premium specification choice for discerning homeowners, custom builders, and developers working on high-exposure urban or infrastructure projects.
The Mechanics of Sound Insulation in Timber Joinery
Acoustic timber windows and doors reduce external noise by absorbing and disrupting sound waves, causing them to lose energy before they can penetrate a building. Rather than relying on a single component, this performance is achieved through an engineered combination of specialized glass, dense framing materials, and precision sealing.
Key Components of Noise Reduction
To successfully block and damp sound pressure, the system relies on three core elements:
-
Acoustic Laminated Glass: Standard double glazing often allows specific sound frequencies to pass through via vibration. Acoustic glass resolves this by bonding two panes of glass together using a specialized acoustic polymer membrane. When sound waves hit the exterior pane, this dampening interlayer absorbs the acoustic energy and prevents vibrations from traveling through to the interior pane.
-
Engineered Timber Frames: Frame material plays a significant role in sound insulation. Natural timber possesses inherent sound-dampening properties due to its dense, cellular structure, making it far more effective at absorbing sound waves than hollow or lightweight frame alternatives.
-
Dual-Gasket Sealing Systems: Sound travels easily through air gaps. Utilizing premium dual-gasket compression seals around the frame not only ensures excellent weatherproofing and airtightness but also eliminates the primary pathways that airborne noise would otherwise use to enter the property.
Assessing Your Environmental Noise Exposure
In modern life, we encounter various forms of environmental noise on a daily basis, and this pollution is steadily increasing. We may not even realize the damaging effects this constant exposure can have on our health and overall well-being.
To help you identify and evaluate the specific level of environmental noise around your property, you can use the provided chart to assess your current exposure.
What level of sound reduction can be expected?
The ratings we provide indicate the decibel (dB) reduction for the entire window unit, including both the frame and the glass. Additionally, our windows have earned BlueSky certification for Noise Reducing Windows. This third-party certification ensures that the specified sound reduction is the actual performance you will experience in your property.
