WYNC.an alternate view through IAC Noise-Lock Windows
B ronx, NY (May 12)--WNYC, America’s flagship National Public Radio station, is now equipped with IAC Noise-Lock acoustic doors and windows in their new Tribeca home.
 During Phase I in 2008 WNYC moved out of their previous home of 50 years and relocated their radio station to a Tribeca warehouse, turning it into a state-of-the-art broadcast center.
With the help of IAC technical representative QuietStar Industries, IAC provided 40 Noise-Lock STC 51 acoustic doors and 40 STC 57 Noise-Lock acoustic windows for this phase.
 Phase II began in 2009. WNYC wanted to create the first ever, ground floor performance space where New York passersby can see live broadcasts from the sidewalk through, of course, IAC windows.
The physical constraints of the space meant that the window would need to be double-glazed with a three-degree slope and a corner angle of 116 degrees. The architect also wanted the window to be free from any horizontal mullions, so a butt glaze was required. The window’s long leg measured 8’ 3”, and the short leg was 3’ 4” long. The entire window was 4’ high.
IAC was able to meet the architect’s requirement of an acoustical rating of STC 57, using ¼” and ½” thick laminated safety glass for the window which was completely factory glazed in our shop.
Thank you to IAC technical representative QuietStar Industries and the Architectural/ Window team for a job well done!
