Glass Los Angeles
carries a unique laminated
soundproof glass that
is like no other available
in the country. Soundproof
glass was designed
in Europe for one
reason: to keep noise
out. Of course our
soundproof glass will
also keep noise in
for sound room applications.
Soundproof glass
or acoustical glass
as it is also known,
is not completely
soundproof.
No glass can make
that claim, however,
it is specifically
designed for noise
reduction.
For the best results
it is recommended
to use this as an
insulated glass unit.
That is two pieces
of soundproof glass
with an air space
in between resulting
in a total of up to
four pieces of glass.
But it could also
be used with a piece
of 1/4" tempered
glass facing outward.
This type of manufacturing
effectively makes
this bomb-resistant
glass. The theory
is that the tempered
glass facing a blast
will break into very
small pieces which
will not penetrate
the laminated glass.
This is also the correct
make up for a sky
light. Another application
is to use Solarcool
glass with the soundproof
glass. The reflective
surface of the Solarcool
glass would be facing
out with the soundproof
glass facing the inside.
This is the best way
to keep noise and
heat out.
Soundproof glass
is a laminated glass.
When used correctly,
regular laminated
glass will do a great
deal to reduce noise.
In fact, in our experience
one piece of laminated
glass will reduce
noise better than
a double or even a
triple pane in an
insulated glass unit.
The secret to our
soundproof glass is
the interlayer. It
is thicker and designed
with noise reduction
in mind.
