Soundproofing & TA-Lärm

How much quieter will it be?

Depending on the model/set: LOOP ~6–10 dB(A), PRISM up to 15 dB(A), BASIC 0–6 dB(A). (TÜV measurements available.)

What does dB(A) mean?

Scale for perceived loudness; −10 dB(A) seems about half as loud.

Does the hood help with compliance with TA noise regulations?

Yes, it lowers the noise level at the neighboring window, which is particularly relevant for nighttime levels. For sensitive locations, we recommend PRISM.

Design, color & quality

Are there any preferred colors?

Yes – in addition to standard colors, we also paint in your desired color (RAL), and on request with custom dimensions.

What are the hoods made of?

Made entirely of aluminum with Qualicoat powder coating - robust, corrosion-resistant and durable.

Assembly & Maintenance

Can I assemble it myself?

Yes – the hoods are designed for self-assembly; instructions are included.

Maintenance without disassembly?
