Common Urban Noise Sources

Understanding the noise challenges that acoustic glazing can solve

Traffic Noise

Constant road traffic, buses, and motorcycles create persistent noise pollution

70-85 dB
Aircraft Noise

Flight paths and airport proximity cause intermittent loud noise events

80-90 dB
Construction

Building work, drilling, and machinery create disruptive daytime noise

85-100 dB
Entertainment

Pubs, clubs, and street entertainment create evening and night noise

75-95 dB

How Acoustic Secondary Glazing Works

The science behind superior noise reduction performance

Sound Wave Disruption

Multiple glass layers disrupt sound wave transmission through reflection and absorption

Air Gap Insulation

The air cavity between glazing layers provides excellent acoustic insulation

Frequency Dampening

Different glass thicknesses target various sound frequencies for optimal reduction

Sealed Installation

Airtight sealing prevents sound leakage around the glazing perimeter
