Calculating the acoustic performance of product
Easy-to-use Calculator Tool
- The user enters the frame: range, single versions or made-to-measure assembly, then the type of opening.
- The user then enters the dimensions of the structure and selects the type of infill from a database of predefined glazing and panels.
- Once these elements have been entered, the WICACOUSTIC software instantly provides the European Rw (C;Ctr) and American STC (sound reduction) ratings for the joinery, as well as the usual RA,tr rating for road traffic noise reduction.
