Specialty Glazing · Quiet, by design
Soundproof
Silence, made transparent.Acoustic windows, doors and interior glass engineered to cut traffic, aircraft and city noise — laminated and insulating build-ups rated by STC and OITC, so a room can open to the view and still stay quiet.

No window is truly soundproof — but the right acoustic build-up, sealed in the right frame, can turn a highway, flight path or busy street into a distant murmur.
We match the glass to the noise: asymmetric laminated panes with acoustic interlayers, wider air spaces and tightly sealed frames, specified to the STC and OITC ratings your project needs and installed so sound has no easy path around the edges.

Questions
Can windows really be soundproof?
Not completely — but acoustic glazing can dramatically reduce noise. Performance depends on the glass build-up, the air space, the frame and the seals, so we specify and install the whole assembly together.
What is the difference between STC and OITC?
STC measures how well glazing blocks mid- and high-frequency sound such as voices. OITC focuses on low-frequency outdoor noise such as traffic, trains and aircraft. For street and flight-path noise, OITC is usually the better guide.
Can you soundproof my existing windows?
Often, yes. A secondary interior glass panel with a wide air gap can add significant noise reduction without replacing the original windows, which suits historic homes and occupied buildings.
