Saflex® SoundPro

Saflex SoundPro is helpful, free, proprietary software that Eastman developed to help you make the best glass configuration selection for your project, and it is available online at www.saflex.com

Intuitive and flexible, our SoundPro tool provides acoustic performance data for tested glass configurations as well as estimates on custom glass configurations. SoundPro was designed to use specific performance targets (such as STC, OITC, and Rw) and glazing characteristics (such as interlayer type, glass or interlayer thickness, or airspace) as filters, so your search responses are not overwhelmed with more data than you need.

When designing with glass, an acoustic rating is helpful in determining how well a space will function acoustically. This is critical for interior spaces where noise levels can be disruptive, affect conversation, and even have an adverse impact on health and productivity. Exterior noises such as crowds, traffic, and weather need to be minimized, ideally toward elimination. Therefore, architects and engineers pay attention to how materials such as glass and glazing can help attenuate or damp sound. Our SoundPro tool is an easy way to select the right glass configuration for your project.

SoundPro calculates glass usage by performance or glazing configuration. Performance targets are selected based on acoustic ratings, and results are revealed immediately. All data presented is for glass-only testing. No frames are utilized in the testing to ensure accurate comparison of the glass configuration can be made without external variables. 
 
To narrow matching results, the following filters can be applied:

• Interlayer type, selecting from three options:
  • None—monolithic or standard insulating unit
  • Conventional —Saflex Clear (R series)
  • Acoustic—Saflex Acoustic (Q series plus Saflex Q + R combinations)
• Interlayer thickness
• Glazing type

Overall glass thickness (allowing for input of minimum and maximum glazing thickness, including insulating gap)
