Modern life can be noisy. Whether it’s the steady hum of traffic, aircraft overhead, or a neighbour’s Saturday night playlist, unwanted sound has a way of finding its way indoors. The solution? Hytherm Silence, Glasscraft’s pre-specified acoustic glazing that delivers a quieter, calmer home environment, without compromising on light, safety or style.
How Acoustic Glass Works
Acoustic glass looks much like ordinary double glazing, but there’s clever engineering at play. Hytherm Silence combines two panes of high quality glass with a special sound damping laminate interlayer.
When sound waves strike the surface, this interlayer acts as a cushion, absorbing and dissipating vibrations before they can pass through. In effect, it turns your window into a barrier that filters out the chaos of the outside world while keeping your home bright and comfortable.
The result? A sound reduction rating of 36 dB (Rw); significantly higher than standard double glazing, which typically achieves around 33 dB.
Why Choose Hytherm Silence
Designed and Ready to Go
Unlike bespoke systems that need lengthy specification, Hytherm Silence comes pre-specified at 36 dB, giving architects, installers and homeowners a reliable, proven level of performance straight off the shelf. It’s an easy upgrade that makes a big difference; especially in built-up areas or homes close to main roads.
Specify Calm
Noise is part of modern life, but it doesn’t have to be. Hytherm Silence is Glasscraft’s pre-specified acoustic glazing solution, engineered for double glazing and construction projects where quiet comfort matters as much as performance. Designed to cut external noise without compromising on light, safety, or aesthetics, it’s the smart choice for developers, contractors, and fabricators who want to deliver homes and buildings that feel as good as they look.

Glass plays an important role in modern commercial buildings, helping create bright entrances, offices and customer-facing spaces. Where additional protection is required, however, the glazing specification also needs to consider security.

Glass canopies can provide shelter above entrances, walkways and other external areas while maintaining a clean, open appearance. Because canopy glazing is installed overhead, choosing the correct glass is particularly important. Safety, strength, glass retention and the way the canopy is supported all need to be considered as part of the specification. For installers and […]
Front doors often need to balance two competing requirements. Homeowners want natural light to enter the property, but they may not want clear glass providing an unrestricted view into the home.
