Does double glazing reduce noise?

Unwanted noise can cause a negative impact on your health and comfort. Depending on the double glazing option selected, it can provide a significant improvement in noise insulation.

By using The Double Glazing Company’s SuperTherm Protect, noise can be reduced considerably, resulting in a more peaceful, quieter home. For example, if the original glass was 3mm thick,  SuperTherm Protect™ would provide a Perceived Noise Reduction of up to 63%.

In addressing noise insulation, it should be appreciated that glass is only one component in the insulation envelope. While the actual noise reduction through the glass could be significant, if the walls or ceiling space are not well insulated, then the improvement will be less noticeable. Where the rest of the envelope is well insulated from outside noise, the change from thin single glass to a solution such as  SuperTherm Protect™ provides excellent noise insulation.
