The most expensive construction problems are often discovered too late. Learn how Hansen Construction and Dynamic Fenestration used a proactive glass audit to reduce risk, protect architectural intent, and prevent costly project disruptions before installation.

Sound Transmission Class (STC) in 2026: Airtightness: The Invisible Architecture of Performance
Acoustic performance is often specified through glass composition and laboratory ratings. But in real-world conditions, the dominant variable is neither. On the contrary, it is air.

Sound Transmission Class (STC) in 2026: Minimal Sightlines vs Acoustic Reality
In our recent update on Sound Transmission Class (STC), we clarified a shift already underway in high-performance residential architecture: acoustic performance is no longer a secondary consideration but is part of the architectural outcome.

Sound Transmission Class & the Architectural Pursuit of Serenity
In luxury residential architecture, silence is never incidental, it’s designed. Because not every project is set in stillness. As urban density intensifies and traffic corridors expand. Airspace grows busier. And yet the expectation remains unchanged: expansive glass, minimal sightlines, and a sense of calm.
