Best Type of Sound Reducing Glass

The best type of sound-reducing glass is laminated glass, also known as acoustic glass. Window inserts made with laminated glass are more effective than plastics, like acrylic (Plexiglas), or polycarbonate (LEXAN), because laminated glass has twice the mass of plastics. The greater the mass, the greater the ability to absorb noise. A good analogy is the siding used for home construction. Brick siding is much more soundproof than HardiePlank or wood siding because brick has much greater mass.

Do other types of glass have similar mass, therefore similar soundproofing characteristics as laminated glass? Yes. Other types of glass of the same thickness have similar mass. Let’s see how they compare:

Standard Glass (Annealed Glass)

1. Can break apart, causing potential injury. Laminated glass cannot break apart.
2. Can vibrate with certain frequencies, therefore allowing those frequencies to pass through the glass into your living space. Laminated glass will not vibrate.

Tempered Glass

1. Is made to break apart into small pieces, eliminating the danger of serious injury. Laminated glass cannot break apart.
2. Can vibrate with certain frequencies, therefore allowing those frequencies to pass through the glass into your living space. Laminated glass will not vibrate.
3. Is much more expensive to make than laminate glass.
4. Cannot be cut to size or trimmed after it is made.

Other advantages of laminated glass include the following:

1. Much higher STC rating than plastics
2. Easy to clean because it is real glass. Plastics require special cleaning fluids that don’t dry their surfaces.
3. Difficult to scratch. Plastics are extremely easy to scratch because plastic is soft.
