External noise can play a large factor on the quality of your daily life, Rationel sound control glass can help to keep the noise out by reducing sound transfer from outside by over 10db compared to a standard double glazed window.
Sound is measured in decibels (dB) with zero decibels (0db) being the faintest sound detected by ‘normal’ hearing. Sound measured at 120-130db can cause pain and potential hearing damage.
The level of acoustic insulation depends on the number of glass panes used in the window, the thickness of each glass pane, the combination of panes and the distance between them.
While glass is a good sound insulator it’s not enough on its own – the entire frame also contributes to noise reduction, with its impact dependent on factors such as the number of opening units, window size and joint construction.
Rationel SOLAR glass helps prevent overheating as a result of sunlight falling directly onto a window. It’s often installed in office buildings which feature large glazed facades, but is also ideal for any south or west-facing façade in a family home. Rationel SOLAR Green and Grey feature tinted glass which reduces the amount of light and heat coming into a building.
By minimising the impact of direct sun Rationel SOLAR glass delivers a range of benefits including preventing glare, helps to control indoor temperature and helps to improve energy bills.
If only occasional sun protection is required, alternative strategies include: Shutters, Awnings, Overhanging eaves or roofs, Strategic garden planting and Curtains or other shading solutions
If you opt for internal shading solutions, such as curtains, remember that the sun’s rays will still penetrate through the window and heat the room before they are reflected, which is why external shading is a more effective way to reduce the sun’s impact.
Most burglars enter the home through an easily accessible window or patio door, which underlines the importance of window security. Rationel SECURE laminated safety glass is designed to resist forced entry and can therefore deter a thief from attempting to break into your home.
While laminated glass is no guarantee against forced entry, it can provide a sufficient deterrent to make a thief give up in their attempt to break in.
As broken windows attract unwelcome attention, thieves prefer windows which are hidden from view from neighbours or passers-by. Laminated glass is particularly useful in such locations as a thief has to work hard to break in.
As well as reducing the risk of forced entry, laminated glass also improves window safety by ensuring broken shards of glass are held in place by the interlayer and cannot cause personal injury.
The level of sun protection provided by a window is determined by the amount of sunlight and the amount of the sun’s heat that are allowed to pass through the glazing. Sunlight is known as the Light Transmittance (LT-value) and the heat is known as the Solar Heat Gain (g-value). Other factors that may be considered are Energy Absorption (EA) and Energy Reflection (ER), these are the percentages of solar radiation absorbed by the glazing and the solar radiation reflected by the glazing.
*= LT-value **= g-value
In comparison, a standard non-solar glazing would offer in the region of 74% light transmittance and 53% solar gain.
