The acoustic performance of glazing was improved mainly by increasing the thickness and asymmetry of glass panes in double-glazed units. In certain cases, laminated safety glass would behave almost like monolithic glass of the same thickness. On average it is possible to improve performance by 1 to 3 dB compared to glass similar in type or thickness and above all to ensure uniform performance across a broader range of frequencies.
Will using an acoustic glass stop all noise from entering my house?
No, it will however reduce the amount of noise that both enters and leaves your home by approximately 3-4dB over standard double-glazing, which is an audible difference. The noise reduction gained will be dependent upon the quality of your window frames and the type and level of noise you are trying to cut out.
