The picture right shows an Awning - fixed window with Series 466 sash in the test chamber at the National Acoustics Laboratory, Chatswood NSW.

We have carried out extensive tests on most of our windows with a variety of glass thicknesses.


A 10dB(A) improvement in the STC rating equates to halving the perceived noise level.
