Hush glass is a specialized type of soundproof glass designed to reduce external noise and create quieter indoor environments. It is constructed using laminated glass technology, often incorporating acoustic interlayers that dampen sound vibrations. Hush glass is ideal for residential, commercial, and industrial spaces where noise reduction is a priority.
Hush glass is engineered to minimize sound transmission by using layers of glass bonded with specialized acoustic interlayers. These interlayers absorb sound vibrations, significantly reducing noise levels from traffic, construction, or other external sources.
Hush glass is over two times more effective in sound insulation when compared to normal laminated glass. Hush’s proprietary interlayer combines the dampening of airborne noise with the dampening of impact noise, resulting in exceptional sound insulation performance.
Hush glass targets specific frequencies to block out sound. The specially designed interlayer acts as a barrier, reducing vibrations caused by sounds with higher frequency ranges (the most sensitive range of human hearing). This means you can expect enhanced performance when Hush is used in places where noise is an issue, such as homes and offices.

Double glazing consists of two layers of glass with a space between them filled with air or argon gas designed to increase energy efficiency and reduce noise. Double glazing still exceeds the performance of hush glass when it comes to both energy efficiency and noise reduction. However, double glazing makes the unit heavier (adding stress to window frames which potentially cause faster wear and tear) and is also more expensive than hush glass.
Hush glass is on average 25% less expensive than double glazed units and this makes it a practical and affordable option for many people.
Both hush and double glazing provide significant sound insulation over ordinary glass.
Modern double glazed units made for the primary purpose of noise reduction are now combined with hush glass which reduces noise up to 90%.
Hush glass is an excellent solution for anyone seeking to reduce noise and create a more tranquil indoor environment. Whether for residential, commercial, or industrial use, hush glass combines soundproofing, safety, and customization to meet diverse needs. While it may have a higher upfront cost, the benefits of noise reduction and comfort make it a worthwhile investment.
