Acoustic insulation

What is Acoustic Insulation?

Acoustic insulation consists of materials and methods that reduce external sound in buildings. Outdoor noise can enter through structures like walls, floors, and ceilings. Of course, it can also come through openings like doors and windows. 

In our busy world, finding quiet spaces is increasingly difficult. Acoustic insulation improves the overall comfort, minimising noise from the outside. It helps enhance your well-being and productivity at home. 

Acoustic insulation can be integrated into our products, including sliding doors and facades. TECHNAL’s solutions are perfect for both renovation and new construction projects. We understand the importance of a serene living environment.

Is Acoustic Insulation Effective?

Yes, acoustic insulation is highly effective at reducing external noise. Through this, it can improve comfort in buildings. Here are some significant benefits of using acoustic insulation in aluminium products:

• Enhanced Comfort: Acoustic insulation reduces outside noise, creating a quieter indoor environment. This is especially valuable in urban areas. You can enjoy the peace of your home without disturbances.

• Increased Privacy: Well-insulated doors and windows enhance privacy by keeping conversations and sounds discreet. This is particularly beneficial for those working from home or discussing confidential matters. In densely populated areas, you can have peace of mind knowing your conversations remain private.

• Improved Energy Efficiency: Acoustic insulation often works alongside thermal insulation. This helps to maintain indoor temperatures and reduce energy costs.

• Higher Property Value: Homes with high-quality acoustic insulation in their aluminium products are attractive to potential buyers. Investing in good insulation can increase your property's overall value.

With the right acoustic insulation features, aluminium solutions can create a serene living space. You and your family to enjoy a more peaceful home, whether you live in a busy urban area or near neighbours. The benefits of aluminium windows and doors extend beyond aesthetics. They significantly enhance your comfort and well-being.

Enhancing Acoustic Insulation with Aluminium Solutions

Aluminium products are not only strong and lightweight but also incredibly durable. This unique combination allows for thicker glazing installation, which significantly boosts acoustic insulation. Aluminium joineries offer more tranquillity. Effectively blocking out noise creates a peaceful indoor environment with double-glazed windows or double-glazed doors.

When comparing aluminium to materials like wood or fibreglass, the benefits become clear. Aluminium is stronger and more rigid than wood. This allows it to support thicker glazing that improves soundproofing. Additionally, aluminium is highly customisable, offering durability and strength while maintaining aesthetic appeal.

How TECHNAL’s Acoustic Insulation Reduces Noise 

TECHNAL focuses on the quality of its aluminium solutions. They are durable, efficient, and compliant with rigorous quality control standards. This commitment guarantees long-lasting performance and reliability in every installation. By integrating cutting-edge acoustic insulation technologies, we help create quieter, more comfortable environments.

Active Acoustic Windows:

TECHNAL is committed to investing in research and development. We are continuously improving our products. This keeps us at the forefront of the industry with advanced solutions, like our patented Active Acoustic Windows. 

They have been crafted to reduce external noise, even if the windows are open! The sliding joinery system integrates seamlessly into the aluminium profiles. It combines both active and passive technologies for optimal sound reduction and control.

• Passive Technology: When the window is open by 10 cm, two side walls in the frame create a tunnel that reduces noise. This blocks medium to high-pitched sounds, like voices, making the room quieter.

• Active Technology: This works by sensing noise and creating a counter-sound to cancel it. Microphones detect the noise, which is analysed by a computer. The computer sends an opposite sound through small speakers, cancelling out low-pitched noises. This includes sounds l like traffic and creates a calm indoor environment.

With a 10 cm opening and specialised acoustic glazing, noise reduction can reach up to 25 dB. Simply put, this is roughly 300 times less noise indoors. This innovative system allows you to keep windows open in warm weather, without the disturbance of city noise or traffic.

Why Choose TECHNAL aluminium joineries?

• Material Innovation: When designed correctly, aluminium can effectively block sound. We have developed aluminium profiles for doors, windows and more, that reduce noise. They consist of special materials that interrupt sound waves.

• Strong Seals: Effective noise insulation in doors and glass relies on strong seals. TECHNAL uses high-quality seals. This ensures doors and windows close tightly, preventing outside noise from entering.

• Smart Glass: The type of glass used in doors and windows is crucial for soundproofing. We employ advanced glass technology, such as double or triple glazing. These feature layers of glass designed to absorb sound. The space between the glass layers further reduces noise.

• Custom Solutions: At TECHNAL, we know that different projects have unique noise requirements. Our customisable aluminium solutions cater to the specific needs of each project. All the while, ensuring optimal sound insulation.

• Meeting Standards: We are dedicated to improving noise comfort. Our products undergo thorough testing to ensure they effectively block sound.
