Reynaers Aluminium has developed an acoustic calculator to provide an insight into the level of noise protection built into its window, door and curtain walling systems.
The acoustic calculator provides a seamless way to match project specifications with existing test reports, with the ability to calculate the acoustic performance of various configurations for Reynaers’ systems.
Acoustic performance is a key element for all fenestration systems ensuring a comfortable living or working environment, particularly in high rise, or city centre projects where design specifications typically require higher levels of sound reduction.
At its European headquarters in Belgium, Reynaers Aluminium conducts extensive acoustic test programs incorporating system solutions with varying glass specifications.
The use of techniques such as layered inner glass panes fitted with acoustic PVB interlayers can further help systems to achieve optimal acoustic performance.
The calculator allows Reynaers customers to outline project requirements and modify elements used within that, specify the system range, model, and additional product details. This includes stipulating the total height and width, and glass sound reduction values.
James Murray, Technical Manager at Reynaers Aluminium UK, says: “When tackling the important issue of noise control and supporting acoustic specification from the earliest stages, the acoustic calculator offers our customers an intuitive online tool enabling them to compare multiple systems and configurations across our range.
“The calculator’s user centric design and functionality expediates the process of matching project specifications against Reynaers’ extensive library of tested solutions providing support, transparency, and easy access to technical details.
“Ultimately, we want to ensure the correct acoustic performance is built into projects, providing optimal comfort within the environment, which is especially important in city centres or buildings close to transport hubs.”
The acoustic calculator is available to all Reynaers’ customers through the company’s customer portal. While the tool offers a guide to acoustic performance, a detailed analysis by an acoustics engineer will still be required for specific projects.
