Sound insulation
In buildings sound spreads from room to room and from the outside
to the inside in two dierent ways; partly as airborne sound where
air pressure waves spread through crevices in the constructions
and partly as structural sound that is transmitted via vibrations in
solid materials.
The airborne sound can be reduced by carefully sealing crevices in
the construction. Structural sound can be diminished by separating
the constructions or by using high density building materials.
If there are special demands to sound insulation when installing a
VELUX roof window, roof window GGL in the special sound insulat-
ing variant --62 can be used. The construction of this variant has
been optimised with regards to sound insulation and the insulating
glass unit has an additional 8 mm layer of glass.
In addition to this, the installation must be carried out so that the
connection between the window and the roof construction ensures
eective sound insulation.
This may be ensured by:
• tting inll battens along the window frame (a),
• tting strips of heavy bituminous roong felt under the underfelt
collar (b) and
• sealing connections through which airborne sound may pass (c).
