How Does Sound Insulation Work?

Because sound is a type of energy with vibrations that form waves, to insulate it thick low-density materials with a high mass are needed as they best absorb the vibration. Sound is measured in decibels (dB).

In Europe, noise reduction in the building industry is defined as the amount that the exterior noise needs to be reduced by to reach a recommended 32 dB for the interior.

If road traffic produces 70 dB of noise, for example, open windows would let in all of this. A closed model with acoustic glass that can absorb 40 dB, on the other hand, would mean that only 30 dB remain audible to create a quiet interior.

Different sounds have different frequencies, measured in Hz. Noise from a train has a frequency of around 160 Hz, for example, whereas church bells tend to reach 440 Hz. To best insulate homes located close to specific sources of sound, we can adapt acoustic glass to suit the frequency. To request this and to find out more, please contact our team.

The Key Features of Acoustic Glass

Acoustic glass is purpose-designed to slow the travel of sound waves through windows or doors and to absorb vibration.

The glazing features multiple double or triple panes, for example, to ensure thickness. The best option here are triple-glazed units, constructed from three panes.

Beyond this, the glass is laminated. Here PVB foil is inserted between the sheets of a pane. Depending on the amount of foil added, different degrees of desired soundproofing can be achieved.

For maximum noise reduction, instead of PVB foil, a “silence” foil or gel is used between the sheets. This has a lower density and absorbs noise to an even greater extent.

We offer five different acoustic glass options that will reduce sound by 32, 36, 38, 42, or 45 dB respectively.
The glazing can be used in our windows as well as in our French and patio doors.

Tailor the Glazing for Further Requirements

Our acoustic glass for windows and doors can be further adjusted to simultaneously meet multiple requirements:

Increased Safety & Protection

The laminated safety glass with foil used in some soundproof glazings, creates a more impact-resistant surface. This increases security and makes windows suitable for windy coastal areas. Furthermore, if the glass does break under high force, it won’t shatter out in sharp shards but will rather remain held on the intact foil beneath. In addition, the glass can be tempered.

Custom Design & Privacy

For custom style, acoustic glass can feature different ornamental glass finishes like Cathedral Small or Master-Carré®, which add character and charm to interiors and exteriors alike. Alternatively, we also offer frosted variants like Chinchilla or Satinato that create secluded spaces by shielding spaces from onlookers.

Enhanced Thermal Performance

Although the double or triple glazing typically used in acoustic noise glass already provides very good insulation, this can be increased further if a spacer made from a material with a particularly low conductivity sets the spaces between the glass panes. We offer uPVC or an upgraded fibreglass Swissspacer, for example.

What Would Our Experts Do?

We asked our team of experts for the best configuration to achieve maximum soundproof windows. Their answer?

"The wood-alu Eco Idealu profile in pine with acoustic triple glazing."

This product features additional insulating foam and is made from a soft wood with a low density. These features are an excellent combination when it comes to absorbing vibration. Furthermore, the triple-glazed acoustic noise glass ensures premium energy efficiency to create peaceful interiors with a stable interior temperature year-round. The wooden interior and core of the product additionally adds natural sturdiness as well as charm thanks to its bespoke grain patterns and natural sturdiness, while the external metal cladding enhanced weather resistance and durability.
