What is acoustic glass and how does it work?
Acoustic glass is a type of glass that is specifically designed to prevent more outside noise from entering the home than standard glass options.
It’s made by laminating two layers of annealed glass together with a layer of Polyvinyl Butyral, a special type of plastic that absorbs sound, sitting between them. This makes it appear as one single pane of glass, although it is, in fact, much thicker. Mass is the best way to absorb sound, meaning the thickness of acoustic glass makes it much better at sound absorption than standard glass. By absorbing more noise than standard glass, less sound can enter the home.
