Sound Proofing

Explore uPVC soundproof windows in Singapore designed to help reduce outside noise and improve indoor comfort. Fortuna offers a range of soundproof windows, double glazed window systems and soundproof doors to suit different homes.

The Problem

Outside noise from traffic, construction work, public transport and nearby neighbours can affect comfort at home. A uPVC soundproof window in Singapore may help reduce unwanted noise and create a quieter indoor environment.

SERANGOON IS NOISIEST PART OF SINGAPORE

A total of 18,768 sound measurements were recorded over a 21/12-month period in a new study on noisy by NUS
audiologist William Hal Martin and graduate student Diong Huey Ting. Accoeding to the data, the noisiest parts of
Singapore (based on planning zones) are:

The Solution

A uPVC soundproof window in Singapore can help reduce noise from traffic, construction and nearby surroundings. Fortuna offers soundproof window systems with different frame and glass options to improve indoor comfort and create a quieter living space.

UNDERSTANDING NOISE

SOUND TRANSMISSION CLASS

STC (Sound Transmission Class)
is an integer rating of how well a partition (medium) attenuates airborne sound.

Let’s say we have a 100dB source
from one side of the wall. And the reading on the other side of the wall is 75dB.

The transmission loss will be 25dB.
Therefore, a higher rated STC wall or window will help to reduce noise infiltration more effectively.

Sound Transmission Class (STC) is a rating used to measure how well a building material or assembly reduces airborne sound. A higher STC rating generally indicates better sound insulation under the conditions tested.

When choosing soundproof windows or a soundproof door, the STC rating can help you compare the sound insulation performance of different products. Double glazed windows may help reduce outside noise, but actual noise reduction depends on the glass specification, window frame, seals and installation quality.
