FROM FIRE GLASS UK

FIRE & SAFETY GLASS SOLUTIONS UNDER ONE ROOF
Acoustic Glass
SOUND SOLUTIONS
Acoustic glass is designed to significantly reduce noise pollution, providing a quieter and more comfortable environment for offices, commercial spaces and even residential properties. Whether you're looking to minimise traffic noise, construction sounds, or general background disturbances, our high-performance acoustic glass offers an effective solution without compromising on clarity or aesthetics.

By utilising advanced laminated technology with specialised interlayers, acoustic glass absorbs and dampens sound waves, delivering superior sound insulation compared to standard glazing. It is ideal for a wide-range of applications inluding hotels, educational buildings and workplaces where noise reduction is a priority.

At Fire Glass UK, the Fire Glass Promise embodies our dedication to delivering the highest stand- ards in fire and safety glazing. Whether you're designing for compliance, safety, or aesthetics, we are here to support your vision.

We won't be beaten on price for Safety, Quality and Service - That's the Fire Glass Promise.

  • APPLICATION

    Acoustic glass serves a wide range of applications and is essential in certain environments to en- sure compliance with Building Regulations regarding sound resistance. In particular, schools must adhere to specific acoustic performance requirements-further details can be found in the official guidance: Approved Document E - Resistance to Sound.

    From a glazing perspective, acoustic glass is highly versatile. In addition to its role as safety glass, it can be integrated into insulating glass units (IGUs), glass partitions, and other architectural solu- tions to enhance both functionality and aesthetics. For examples of our recent projects demon- strating the effectiveness and visual appeal of acoustic glass, see our Hot Mill School Case Study.

    While acoustic glass itself does not provide fire resistance, certain types of fire-rated glass do offer acoustic properties with defined levels of sound reduction. For more information on these specialist glazing solutions, please visit our Fire Rated Glass page.

  • BENEFITS

    The main benefit of acoustic glass is the reduction in noise level - generally a comfortable sound level for humans is around 35db (day) and 30db (night).

    All acoustic glass comes with a sound reduction level that is given in decimals. It is particularly useful in reducing some of the higher frequency sounds such as traffic, people and even the sound of rain falling on the glass (where the glass is used in roof glazing); different performance levels can be achieved by various combinations of glass thickness and the number of interlayers used.

    From a noise level point of view a reduction of just 5db is clearly noticeable to the human ear - acoustic glass can therefore be used not only in urban areas with high-levels of traffic and other environmental noise but also in open office workplaces or schools to minimise noise disruption.

    Due to its inner bonded layer, acoustic glass will hold in place in the event of breaking; meaning that it has an Impact Safety Rating and can be used in Critical Locations. It can also improve energy efficiency.

  • FEATURES

    • Break safe characteristics
    • Resists attack
    • UV protection
    • Improved acoustic performance
    • Manufactured in accordance with EN 14449
    • Minimised UV-transmission
    • Sound control

  • WHERE TO INSTALL

    Building Regulations set out specific requirements with regards to protection from impact with glazing and these include what impact safety rating must be used in Critical Locations. Ordinary annealed glass may be used in small panes up to a maximum width of 250mm and an area not exceeding 0.5m2. Such glass must not be less than 6mm in thickness, except in the case of traditional leaded lights and copper lights, where 4mm can be used.

    CRITICAL LOCATIONS
    1. GLAZING IN DOORS
    Any glass within 1500mm from floor level including any glass in doors that does not start over 1500mm from the floor must be safety glass.

    2. GLAZING ADJACENT TO DOORS
    Any windows or glass panels within 300mm of the edge of a door and which is also wholly or par- tially within 1500mm from floor level must be safety glass.

    3. LOW LEVEL GLAZING
    Any other kind of glazing that is within 800mm from floor level. This means that windows that are not located within 300mm
