SOME DATA OF NOISE

In previous posts of this series, we have discussed the realities of noise pollution and the influence of noise on people's mental and physical health. Living in a populated city, we have to go on busy roads and hear loud vehicle horns every day. Besides, the sounds of saws cutting, hammering, welding, etc. from construction sites make us headaches. Moreover, the sounds of loudspeakers, karaoke, discos, the crowd's loud voices… also make us feel uncomfortable and upset.

Such noises typically have an sound intensity of 60 to 90 dB. People who live close to airports are subjected to louder noise from jet engines during takeoff and landing, which can reach 110–140 decibels.

Despite being invisible, noise has a direct impact on human health. As a result, we must take effective action to reduce noise and prevent it from disturbing the serenity of homes and workplaces. The ideal sound intensity is 35 dB or less, and in order to reach it, the building must have good soundproofing materials in order to effectively block out outside noise.

Because of advanced designs such as laminated glass boxes (double, tripple…), multiple chamber profile, glazing bead, and co-extruded gasket directly to profile bars, IGS uPVC windows and doors are totally giving an excellent sound insulation.

Let’s take a look on some facts about the benefits of soundproofing performance with our windows and doors:
