Sound insulation of windows Basic principals during selection of sound insulating windows: - The windows should be with different thickness when are combined – for exmp mm or mm; -The usage of wider spacers increase the index of sound insulation; - In glued together windows the adding of PVB membrane increases the index of sound insulation; -The frame and the connection to the wall have significant meaning; -The sizes of the frames – in increasing sizes of the window without extra framing the index of sound insulation is decreasing; - If it’s possible to be added sound absorbing to the internal perimeter of the frame; Tsvetan Nedkov, Ivaylo Hristev UACG 2014 г.
