Introducing NRG

NOISE REDUCTION GLASS

The modern world is full of unwanted sounds, such as those from barking dogs, loud conversations, lawn mowers, and traffic noise. These uninvited sounds seem to be present more in today’s home.

Noises are made up of sound waves caused by vibration. These sound waves can carry noise into your home through or around windows and doors. Traditionally, laminated glass has been the choice to achieve sound reduction. Sunrise now offers the noise reduction glass option that not only provides superior energy performance, but noise reduction as well — at a fraction of the cost of laminated glass.

Testing for Noise Reduction

Sound reduction in windows and doors is tested and most commonly rated for comparison using a Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating. The higher the STC value the greater the noise reduction performance.

Our windows are tested and rated to ASTM E(90) for Sound Transmission (test sizes per ASTM E1425). STC ratings will vary by product type. The higher the rating value the greater the sound reduction.

Other key factors in sound reduction are air tight construction and proper installation, which not only reduce noise but provide better comfort and energy savings.

Sunrise Windows have some of the industry’s lowest air infiltration values. Our triple weather-strip barrier provides 50% more weather-stripping than other windows and more protection against harsh winter weather, which means you save money to heat your home. Elimination of those cold drafts not only makes you feel more comfortable, but reduces that unwanted whistling sound of poorly sealed windows.

DESIGNED TO PERFORM

With a constant 25 mile per hour wind, this test shows how many cubic feet of air infiltrates through each square foot of the window each minute. Results are from Pella Product Guide Specification 2008, and Andersen 2009 Performance Standards. Sunrise Casement AAMA Certified 2010. Sunrise Double Hung results from April 2016 testing.

Did you know that a 2” x 4” insulated wall has an Sound Transmission Classification (STC) value of 36?

Beyond installing your windows plumb and square, it is important to insulate between the window frame and the existing wall. This

not only adds insulation for enhanced energy performance, but eliminates additional unwanted drafts and sounds. That’s why Sunrise provides installation aids like our polyfoam wrap, and Installation training for our products. Also, our trainers are Installation Masters Certified Trainers.
