| New Serenity Series sound control windows  AMSCO Windows announces the new Serenity Series line of sound control windows that is aimed at reducing unwanted noise in the home. Sound problems in the home can occur from many sources including the close proximity to transportation areas like busy highways or freeways, rail lines and airports as well as kids playing and dogs barking. Serenity Series sound control windows offers a range of Sound Transmission Class, STC, ratings that reduce these unwanted sounds. The Serenity Series are engineered with various glass widths using a triple glazing design to achieve different STC ratings. STC ratings for the Serenity Series range from 40 to 47 — much higher compared to a typical dual-glazed window's STC rating of 28 to 35.The triple glazing design of the Serenity Series also affords greater energy efficiency over dual glazed windows due to an increased frame width and an extra glazing panel. U-values as low as .22 are achievable in the Serenity Series with Low-E glass. Made from the same quality material as AMSCO's other vinyl lines, the Serenity Series is available in white in Single Hung, Horizontal Slider, and Picture window styles. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
