Living in the center of DFW means being at the center of constant growth. This growth is great for the economy. However, that growth comes with some added noise: the roar of American Airlines jets departing DFW International, and the hum of cars on the Dallas North Tollway. Sometimes, citizens can also hear the non-stop construction in booming cities like Frisco and Celina.
Can something be done about all of this noise? Yes, glass can actually block out these outside sounds! The soundproofing of ability is glass is measured by something called STC, or sound transmission class. This measures how much sound a window stops, so the higher the number, the better.
Standard Single-Pane: STC 26–28 (You can hear a neighbor’s conversation).
Standard Double-Pane: STC 28–32 (You can hear traffic, but it’s muffled).
Acoustic/Soundproof Glass: STC 35–45+ (Significant reduction in jet engines and sirens).
If you’re near a high traffic area, upgrading from a standard double-pane to acoustic glass can reduce noise as much as 90%. Thanks to glass technology, noise pollution isn’t something inevitable that you have to live with daily.
