OUR PARTNER IN
SOUND CONTROL
Sometimes, replacing
just the glass is not
enough to exclude
noise from entering
your home. If your
sash windows have
gaps between the
frame and the sash,
sound will use this as
an entry point.
Glass Reflections
work closely with
Frazer Palmer from
SASH WINDOW
SPECIALISTS to
ensure that your
windows are
completely
refurbished. For a

Your 3 Sound Insulation Options are:
Double Glazed Units: The minimum thickness of a double glazed unit is
12mm.This consists of say 3mm glass/12mm spacer/3mm glass.
Therefore, if you are retro fitting these units, it is unlikely that your window
rebate will be sufficiently deep enough to accommodate the unit.
Secondary Glazing. This is where a complete new set of windows (in
either wood or aluminium) are fitted to the window frame. Probably the best
solution for sound control, however it is a costly option as you are
replicating the entire window arrangement. The other draw back is that you
need to have enough of a window sill to allow for the new installation. For
wooden windows, Glass Reflections work closely with a carpenter to
provide you with this solution. For aluminium windows, we are able to
assist commercial customers, and we refer domestic customers to one of
our working partners.
Glass with Sound Control Properties: For many domestic and
commercial customers, this is the most appropriate course of action.
Glass Reflections are able to provide you with several glass options
ranging from thicker glass to laminated glass or glass that has been
specifically engineered for sound control eg. VLam Hush. To further
discuss these options please call our office.
