Noise Reduction and Sound Insulation with Secondary Glazing

Slimline Secondary Glazing designed and manufactured by Arctic Glaze can reduce noise entering your property by up to 80% which is the equivalent of 54 decibels.

Many homeowners and building owners are now turning to Secondary Glazing as it can substantially reduce noise entering their property and provides additional thermal insulation. The addition of Secondary Glazing can often reduce noise levels by as much as 80%, it is designed to provide enhanced acoustic insulation and to combat the low-frequency rumblings from passing or idling vehicles.

Noise from busy roads and railway lines can be an unwanted distraction and nuisance, the addition of Secondary Glazing is a perfect solution to prevent noise from entering your property. Noise from vehicles and other sources can be problematic and challenging to reduce, a large proportion of the noise we hear is through our existing windows. To put noise levels into perspective, a diesel bus at a distance of 5 metres will emit up to 89 decibels, modern double and triple glazing can prevent noise entering your home however, in most cases this can only be up to 36 decibels.

To provide optimum acoustic performance we often recommend that the Secondary Glazing system is installed 150mm away from your primary window. This installation method will create an insulating air cavity between the primary window and Secondary Glazed system. For buildings that are subject to a large amount of noise or with slim window reveals, we advise installing acoustic laminated glass witch is designed to provide enhanced acoustic insulation by minimising low frequency noise from entering your home.
