02 — Product Definition (What Is It?)
Low-E Acoustic Glass is a high-performance glazing product that combines sound-control glass construction with a Low-Emissivity (Low-E) coating to simultaneously address acoustic privacy and building thermal performance. It is typically built either as (a) an acoustic laminated glass lite with a Low-E coating applied to the exposed surface, or (b) an acoustic insulating glass unit (IGU) where one or more lites carry a Low-E coating and the cavity is argon-filled. The result is a single glazing specification that meets both speech-privacy (STC/Rw) and energy-efficiency targets (U-value, SHGC), reducing the need to choose between "quiet" and "efficient." It is the preferred specification for premium office pods, executive meeting pods, and high-end architectural partitions where both comfort metrics matter.

03 — Glass Structure
Typical Structure A — Low-E Acoustic Laminated Glass：
6 mm Tempered Glass (surface facing room)
↓
Low-E Coating (soft-coat, on designated surface)
↓
Acoustic PVB Interlayer (0.76 / 1.14 / 1.52 mm)
↓
6 mm Tempered Glass
Overall thickness: ~12 mm · Target: STC 41–44 + Low-E thermal performance
Typical Structure B — Low-E Acoustic Insulated Glass (IGU)：
6 mm Tempered Glass + Low-E Coating
↓
16 mm Argon Cavity (warm-edge spacer)
↓
6 / 8 mm Tempered Glass
Overall thickness: ~28–30 mm · Target: STC 43–48 + enhanced U-value
Structural Variables:
• Glass Substrate: 4 / 5 / 6 / 8 / 10 mm tempered; Low-Iron (ultra-clear) available
• Low-E Coating: Single silver / Double silver soft-coat (selective); Coating position designed according to IGU orientation
• Sandwich Options: Acoustic PVB (standard) / SGP (on request); Sandwich can be placed on the outer or inner sheet
• Cavity: 9 / 12 / 16 / 20 mm; Argon 90% optional
• Asymmetric Structure: Different sheet thicknesses (e.g., 6+8) to suppress coincidence effect
• For sandwich + hollow composite requirements → see the Acoustic Laminated Insulated Glass page
04 — Available Configurations
| Configuration | Build | Overall Thickness | Indicative STC* | Thermal Note | Typical Application |
|---|
| 6 Low-E + PVB + 6 | Laminated, coated | ~12 mm | STC 41–43 | Low-E on room-side surface | Premium office pod |
| 8 Low-E + PVB + 8 | Laminated, coated | ~16 mm | STC 43–45 | Improved U-value | Executive meeting pod |
| 6 Low-E + 16Ar + 6 | IGU, coated, argon | ~28 mm | STC 43–45 | Strong U-value | High-end partition |
| 6 Low-E + 16Ar + 8 | IGU, asymmetric | ~30 mm | STC 45–48 | Strong U-value | Recording / exec pod |
| Custom | Project-specific | Specified | Specified | Per climate zone | OEM systems
*Acoustic performance is indicative. Final STC depends on frame, gasket, seal and full pod/window assembly. U-value / SHGC / VLT are project-specific and quoted per glazing system and climate zone. Lab reports available on request. |
05 — Acoustic Performance
- STC: 39–48 (configuration dependent)
- Rw (EN ISO 717-1): up to 46 dB
- Frequency optimization: 500–4000 Hz speech band; asymmetric lites + cavity shift coincidence dip away from speech frequencies
- Test basis: ASTM E90 / E413, ISO 10140 series, EN 12758
- Datasheet includes 1/3-octave transmission loss curve on request
Low-E 涂层本身对 STC 贡献极小；本页声学性能来自 "acoustic glass structure + Low-E" 的组合，而非涂层单独隔音。
06 — Thermal & Safety Performance
Thermal properties:
- U-value: project-specific (typical IGU range 1.2–2.6 W/m²K with argon + Low-E; quoted per system)
- SHGC: project-specific (Low-E selective coating reduces solar heat gain)
- VLT: project-specific (clear ~78–89%; Low-Iron upgrade for premium transparency)
- Coating type: Soft-coat Low-E (high selectivity); surface position engineered per orientation
- Safety features:
- Tempered (EN 12150) or Heat-Strengthened; laminated option for fall-out safety (EN 14449)
- Post-breakage: glass fragments remain bonded to PVB interlayer
- Optional heat soak test (EN 14179-1) to minimize spontaneous breakage
- UV blocking: acoustic PVB blocks up to 99% UV; Low-E coating further reduces UV/heat transmission
