The Science
Acoustic glass uses multiple layers of different thicknesses, special sound-dampening interlayers, and gas-filled cavities to break sound wave energy at each transition point.
Different glass thicknesses (6mm + 8mm) resonate at different frequencies, preventing sound from passing through both panes at the same frequency. This is far more effective than two identical panes.
A special viscoelastic interlayer between the glass panes converts sound energy into heat through molecular friction. This dampens vibrations that would otherwise pass through the glass.
The argon or krypton gas between panes is denser than air, adding another layer of sound resistance. The air gap width is tuned to maximize noise reduction at the frequencies most common in your environment.
Performance Comparison
Every 10 dB reduction cuts perceived loudness in half. See how our acoustic solutions compare to standard windows and understand what each rating means for your daily experience.
STC 26
Standard Single-Pane Window
Normal speech easily heard through the window. Traffic noise is clearly audible. This is what most older homes have -- minimal noise protection.
STC 32
Standard Double-Pane Window
Normal speech partially audible. Traffic noise is reduced but still noticeable. An improvement over single-pane but not adequate for noisy environments.
STC 35-40
Acoustic Laminated Glass
Loud speech barely audible. Traffic noise significantly reduced. Noticeable improvement in comfort and sleep quality. Our most popular residential upgrade.
STC 45-52
Double-Glazed Acoustic
Loud sounds only faintly heard. Traffic noise virtually eliminated. Professional-grade isolation suitable for recording studios and high-end residential.
Our Services
From residential windows to recording studios, we install acoustic glass solutions that dramatically reduce unwanted noise and improve quality of life.
Laminated glass with a special acoustic PVB interlayer that dampens sound vibrations.
Insulated glass units with asymmetric pane thicknesses and acoustic interlayers for maximum STC ratings.
Add an interior glass panel to existing windows without replacing them. Ideal for historic homes, rentals, and budget-conscious projects where exterior.
Sound-rated glass walls for offices, conference rooms, medical facilities, and legal offices where speech privacy matters.
High-STC glass for recording studios, home theaters, music rooms, and broadcast facilities requiring professional-grade acoustic isolation.
Acoustic-rated glass sliding doors for patios and balconies that block exterior noise without sacrificing your view.
The Expert Advantage
Our acoustic glass achieves STC ratings of 35-52, reducing perceived noise by up to 95%. We can perform before-and-after sound level testing to verify the improvement.
We analyze your specific noise problem -- traffic, aircraft, construction, neighbors, nightlife -- and engineer the right glass solution with the appropriate STC rating for your needs.
Acoustic glass also significantly improves thermal insulation. You get noise reduction and lower heating and cooling bills from a single upgrade. Double-glazed acoustic units offer the best combined performance.
Our acoustic glass is optically clear with no visible difference from standard glass. Block the noise without blocking the view, the light, or your connection to the outdoors.
The laminated construction of acoustic glass also provides safety benefits. The interlayer holds glass fragments together if broken, and the extra thickness deters forced entry.
Homes near busy roads, flight paths, and commercial areas see dramatic improvements in sleep quality. Reducing nighttime noise by even 10 dB makes a significant difference in rest.
Soundproof windows are a premium feature that increases property value. Buyers in noisy urban and suburban locations specifically seek homes with acoustic glass upgrades.
Secondary glazing lets you keep your original historic windows while adding an interior acoustic panel. Maintain the character of your Georgetown or Capitol Hill home while enjoying modern comfort.
Retrofit Solution
Secondary glazing adds an interior acoustic panel to your existing windows. Keep your original windows intact -- including historic ones -- while gaining significant noise reduction. The most popular choice for DMV homeowners in Georgetown, Capitol Hill, Old Town Alexandria, and Chevy Chase.
