The sound insulation of two sets of unsealed windows with different frame crosssections has been examined. One set of frames was constructed in situ using rectangular timber sections, the others being proprietary steel windows. The results showed that the unsealed steel windows had much lower sound

Sound transmission via linear sound bridges linking the panel edges of a double partition has been investigated by both theoretical and experimental means. There are equations for calculating the airborne sound insulation of a double partition consisting of identical panels provided that only the ed
The faΓ§ade of a room is usually composed of different construction elements, one of which is the window. This fulfils both an aesthetic function and closes the wall opening. In order to improve thermal behaviour and control solar radiation, the window is fitted with different protection features, su
Lightweight inner leaves contribute more than heavier inner leaves to thermal insulation, but there are reasons for expecting that they may adversely affect the sound insulation of party floors. The most sensitive indicator of the influence of inner leaves is provided by differences, if any, between
