Ford Motor and Carlite have announced the availability of SoundScreen™, a new acoustic windshield that helps reduce wind and road noise in vehicle interiors. SoundScreen acoustic windshield is available now on a variety of Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles.
Customer satisfaction surveys show drivers equate a quiet ride with vehicle quality. At Ford and Carlite, we listen to our customers and work hard to design products that provide the highest possible levels of comfort and convenience. The SoundScreen acoustic windshield is an integral part of Ford's strategy for quiet vehicle interiors.
SoundScreen acoustic windshield is made of a layer of sound-absorbent vinyl sandwiched between two sheets of glass. It reduces noise levels by as much as 6dB between 1500Hz and 5000Hz, and 2 to 3dB overall, which allows conversation and audio to be heard more clearly.
Acoustic vinyl also helps engineers improve fuel economy because the acoustic vinyl's sound dampening properties offset the need for thicker, heavier glass.
Thanks to these advantages, laminated glass products like SoundScreen acoustic windshield are a fast-growing product segment. Carlite's brand-for-brand replacement glass maintains the vehicle's original functionality and value. Original equipment windshields fit best, maintain a vehicle's structural integrity and meet or exceed federal standards.
Carlite provides a wide range of automotive glass replacement products including windshields, door glass, quarter glass, electrically heated backlites, moon roofs, privacy glass and more. In every product, Carlite is committed to developing value-added features that increase customer satisfaction and make retailers more successful.
