PAINOLASINEN

PAINOLASINEN is a Finnish term that translates to "weight glass" or "weighted glass." It refers to a type of glass that has been made significantly heavier than standard glass through the addition of specific minerals or elements during its manufacturing process. This increased density is achieved by incorporating materials like lead oxide, barium, or strontium into the glass mixture.

The primary purpose of PAINOLASINEN is to provide enhanced sound insulation properties. The increased mass of the glass allows it to absorb and dampen sound vibrations more effectively, making it a desirable material for applications where noise reduction is important. This can include windows in recording studios, concert halls, or even in residential settings to minimize external noise pollution.

Beyond sound insulation, the density of PAINOLASINEN can also contribute to improved thermal insulation, helping to regulate indoor temperatures and reduce energy consumption. In some specialized applications, the weight and density might also offer increased resistance to impact or provide a unique aesthetic quality due to its refractive properties. The manufacturing process for PAINOLASINEN is similar to that of regular glass, with the key difference being the specific composition of the raw materials.
