Sound transmission through sliding glass doors
Thanks, Oberon and again, Info Sponge. All of this information is helping so much for me to begin to understand what the problem might be. Since the manufacturer appears at a loss about the problem it seems I am having to educate myself to become a part of the solution. I never intended to know this...

SOUND TRANSMISSION THROUGH GLASS
So, if I hear a sound coming through glass which I say is too much and a door company does not acknowledge that there is a problem. Is there a way to say how much sound is too much? Any other reasonable way to measure?

Sliding door sound transmission problems
Guy and Info Sponge: your responses have been so helpful. Do either of you or anyone know how you test a door to see if it is meeting the minimum standards set up for sound tranmission? Who would do a test like this and what would be involved? Thanks,
Bill

SOUND TRANSMISSION THROUGH GLASS
THanks, Info Sponge. That is very helpful. But could you tell me what a heat mirror film is and where I might get information on that? I really appreciate your help.

Sound transmission through sliding glass doors
Thank you so much, Guy. I have been at such a loss about this. Could you direct me to a website or book where I can read more about STC and OITC designations? Are all residential doors rated STC or did you just know this from the brand and model information I furnished? The door which I replaced did...

Help with sound transmission thru sliding door- info please
I have posted twice with no response. I am having a terrible problem with outside noise coming in through a new Simonton profinish sliding door.

Help!! Too much sound from Simonton Profinish sliding door
Has anybody had any experience with this product? We just had the door installed and the door emits more sound than my "old" previous double paned, non- low e, sliding door. We can now hear traffic and airplanes where we did not before. But what really seems strange is that the sound we he...

Double hung window installation
I have 2 questions: 1. What makes for a good window installation? 2. Is it feasible to have a window with the dimensions 42" wide by 60" high in a double hung style? The bottom would be 42 x 24 and the top would be 42w x 36h. I had an installer tell me it would be too heavy to operate as a...
