Hey folks!
I am building a new studio and i hv a question about accoustics windows! I really need the maximun isolation i can get, because my mother and neighboors hate psytrance (the big problem is with my mother). My studio is beside to my mother`s room, so i really need some professional solution. Here comes the point:
In my studio i hv those two big windows (which i will not close because it hs a bealtifull view, which will inspire me hehehe). I hv been collecting infos about those acoustic windows and all i can find is some types that i dont feel "safe" about it`s level isolation. I need some windows like those used in police departaments, where the bad guy can scream the hell out of his mouth and the cops outside of the room dont listen anything.
Do you guys know if what i am looking for exists?
In my searches i found one that has 4 layers of glass (10mm).. does it make any difference? what shoud i consider when buying those windows? i mean, what does really matter?
I am also making some other stuff in my studio, like double brick walls with fiberrock inside (which is better then fiberglass because it has tree times more density).. I also hv a great isolation door..
I want to find the best windows i can get and see the results of isolation with this setting i am telling u. After isolating i will treat the sound.. Maybe after the windows i will need some more stuff inside to isolate, but first i want to see the results with the "raw" room -> just windows and door. Do u think later on maybe i will need something extra, like plasterboards or vinil.. ? if i need , then it will be necessary to complete the walls isolation, but what about the windows? if the windows i buy dont isolate a lot then i hv a BIG problem right? (because what could i use then on those windows to improove the isolation?)..
I hope i could be clear... Help me guys! Give me a light!!! |

The isolation comes from haveing gaps between layers, and using different materials. Seeing as you don't want to block your view, I'd say you'd need to put up a second window in the frame, however it should really be slightly off angle to the other, which would probably require a new frame. I'll leave this open to some further suggestions from others.
Might be easier to get a new mother:tongue2 .
Can't you just turn it down? It's better for your hearing anyway. |
