Everyone thinks triple glazing is the ultimate noise killer.
Customers come in asking for it just to block out the traffic on the Wessex Way. They assume three panes of glass must automatically be better than two.
We often tell them to stop and look at Acoustic Glass instead.
Heat vs. Vibration
Triple glazing is brilliant for keeping a house warm.
But sound doesn’t work like heat. Sound is a vibration. Traffic noise is a heavy, low-frequency drone.
Three standard sheets of glass can sometimes struggle with that specific engine rumble. The vibration just travels right through the panes.
The Acoustic Layer
Acoustic glass is built specifically to kill noise.
It looks exactly like normal double glazing. But sandwiched inside the glass is a hidden, clear laminated layer.
That layer acts like a sponge for soundwaves. It physically absorbs the vibration of the traffic before it can pass into your lounge. It targets the heavy drone that normal glass lets through.
The Right Tool for the Job
Don’t just throw standard triple glazing at a severe noise problem. You might be wasting your money.
If a freezing cold house is your main issue, buy triple glazing.
If the constant drone of cars is driving you mad, buy acoustic glass. It gives you absolute silence.
We don’t just sell you the most expensive option. We tell you what actually works for your specific street.
