ECS uses Spectus to cut noise by 40dB
Spectus Window Systems has helped its customer ECS produce high-level acoustic windows which reduce external noise levels by 40dB.
ECS fabricated and installed the high-level acoustic windows for 100 new build apartments at Broadway in Salford Phase one of three has just been completed
A 38mm double glazed unit was used with a special bead, and cavities were filled with timber to provide better insulation.
Michael Green, Director at ECS , explains: "The Spectus commercial team passed this lead onto us".
"It was the highest ever acoustic specification using the Spectus profile".
"Set on a main road, the windows had to significantly reduce the noise of traffic".
"With Spectus' help we were able to produce a window that performed".
"We've used the Spectus profile since ECS was established in 2004, and the support team always goes out of its way to help.".
