Acoustics

The weighted sound reduction is a number used to rate the effectiveness of a soundproofing system or material. Increasing the RW by one translates to a reduction of approximately 1dB (decibel) in noise level.

Rw38 using Platinum 90, Definium 90 and Gallium 45.

Rw53 using Platinum 120.

Whisperwing is Criterion's highest rating door seal – Rw35.

Whisperwing should be used in door receivers, Whisper-Lon should be used in pelmets and rubber pivot seals should be used in wiper stiles.

Brush seals don’t achieve a very good acoustic seal. The new Whisperwing rubber seal achieves higher acoustic results.

Partition systems are sealed and fixed on all four sides including silicone or rubber glazed edges to encase the glass. Hinge and sliding doors are unable to be 100% sealed as they are required to operate with little friction.

All of Criterion's acoustic tests are built to Australia Standard AS 5218:2018.

Acoustic test is performed by installing a product in an acoustic laboratory and the sound transfer from one room to the next room is measured.

Acoustic opinions are measured by entering Criterion Industries acoustic tests into a computer program to show the different results when using different glass types.

Acoustic predictions are measured by Criterion industries acoustic tests and acoustic test results from the glass types itself.
