Control of noise – drastic measures

Most residents of Metropolitan areas know firsthand how exhausting the noise of the bustling streets. However, a huge number of people consciously choose to live big cities, and they have to deal with the issue of conservation in these circumstances, health and emotional balance.

Residents "sverhdorogim" furnish their apartments with things from environmentally friendly materials, listening to recordings of relaxing nature sounds and buy air conditioners with air purification.

>But if the apartment is above a busy highway, road dirt and exhaust fumes, the piercing sounds of sirens and car horns, vibration from passing trucks become a real problem. As experience shows, to be fully protected from dust and noise, it is not enough just to buy wooden Windows with double glazing. Require more serious equipment.

It should be noted that in Russia this problem is quite acute, and yet to help tenants of houses near a noisy highway really come tightly sealed acoustic window. Although in world practice, the solution to this problem has come up, and in some places managed to implement.

For example, in Warsaw began to set on the tracks of innovative noise-reducing Windows. Designs are polytunnel of special PVC Windows. The first acoustic barriers were installed over part of the S8 route, and in the future with these screens is shielded from the unpleasant proximity of neighbors and the highway Armii Krajowej.

For communication nodes, characterized by the high level of traffic, used special protection in the form of glazed poluchennyh roofs.

In addition, during project development, the architects had to implement measures to prevent the collision of urban birds with double-glazed Windows, and choose optimally-safe alternative to glass, suitable for location in the vicinity of site traffic.

According to European experts best data requirements consistent double glazing Pilkington InsulightTM Protect, which was selected for the glazing of soundproof construction.

Pilkington Protect made of multi-layer transparent tempered glass thickness 6mm thick, on the external surface of which was coated a pattern of blue stripes. Flexible PVB interlayer of these glass just serves as a sound barrier, and, in addition, it provides security on a high level.

In case of breakage of the glass the pieces do not crumble and will not harm others. Innovative polycandela height reached 10 meters, and the total surface area of the glass surface was 60 000m2.

Noise polytunnel become a real pride of the European Union in the field of the protection of the environment. I hope, in our homes someday there will be silence.
