Acoustic window system for use with acoustic door

摘要

A sound proofing window system for use with an acoustic door is disclosed. The system includes 2 fully decoupled acoustic reveal formed between 2 acoustic windows, thereby providing a higher level of sound proofing than is achievable with existing art. A decoupled acoustic reveal means that there is no path of contact between the two acoustic windows that is unbroken by soundproofing material. Further, the acoustic windows may be positioned fully or partially outside the thickness of the door to increase the air gap. Prior art systems may attempt to partially decouple the acoustic reveal. A windowed standard 1.75 inch acoustic door according to the present invention provides an STC rating of 56-57, which is far superior to the 35-47 STC rating comparable prior art. The STC rating of the present invention on a 5 inch thick door is estimated at 64 compared to 54 using conventional technology.
