Acoustic Secondary Glazing Specialists

Acoustic secondary glazing is the most effective window-based noise reduction solution available. With correctly specified acoustic laminate glass and a 150-200mm reveal-fixed air cavity, our systems achieve up to 80% noise reduction (54dB) — consistently outperforming double and triple glazing.

How It Works

Sound travels as a wave through air. The larger the air gap between panes, the more sound energy is absorbed. Secondary glazing creates a 150-200mm cavity compared to the 12-24mm gap in standard double glazing — up to 15 times larger. Combined with acoustic laminate glass, this delivers outstanding noise reduction at all frequencies.

Acoustic Glass Options

6.4mm acoustic laminate (light urban noise); 6.8mm acoustic laminate (49dB Rw — our most popular acoustic spec); 8.8mm acoustic laminate (high-noise environments, airports, motorways); 10.8mm acoustic laminate (maximum performance); 12.8mm acoustic laminate (heavy-duty range only).

Installation for Acoustic Priority

For maximum acoustic performance: reveal-fixed installation (not face-fixed), minimum 150mm air cavity (200mm preferred), woolpile and Q-Lon perimeter seals. This achieves 54dB Rw — reducing a busy main road to background level noise.

Applications

Road traffic noise, airport and aircraft noise, railway and tram noise, general urban noise, industrial noise.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How much noise does it reduce?

+
Up to 80% (54dB Rw) with reveal-fixed installation, 6.8mm+ acoustic laminate, 150-200mm cavity.

Better than double glazing for noise?

+
Yes, consistently. The large air cavity (150-200mm) far outperforms the 12-24mm gap in double glazing.

What cavity do I need?

+
Minimum 150mm for good acoustic performance, 200mm for optimum.

Does it work for aircraft noise?

+
Yes. 8.8mm or 10.8mm acoustic laminate with 200mm cavity for properties near airports.
