STC (ASTM E90/E413) is the US sound-rating; Rw (ISO 717-1) is the international one. They measure the same concept but under different standards and must not be converted. NEUWALL reports both where tested.

What is the difference between STC and Rw acoustic ratings?
STC (ASTM E90/E413) is the US sound-rating; Rw (ISO 717-1) is the international one. They measure the same concept but under different standards and must not be converted. NEUWALL reports both where tested.

What is the difference between a movable glass wall and a fixed glass partition?
A fixed glass partition is permanent; a movable glass wall slides and stacks away on a track, letting the same floor plate switch between open and divided layouts.
How do movable glass walls provide privacy?
They keep the room visually open while reducing sound transfer to Rw 44 dB (ISO 717-1). For higher acoustic privacy, pair with acoustic laminated glazing or use a solid operable wall instead.
Are the glass panels safe?
Yes. Panels use 8 mm tempered safety glass; edges and frames are finished to a painted border for a clean, safe edge.
