Reduce noise with Vacuum Insulated Glazing from Sashed
The ultimate noise reduction solution
As a London-based company, we often hear from homeowners struggling with excessive noise – from busy traffic and public transport to late-night disturbances from pubs and restaurants. Many find it hard to get a restful night’s sleep or concentrate while working from home. If you’re looking for a way to transform your living environment into a quieter, more comfortable space, high-performance glazing solutions like Vacuum Insulated Glazing could be the answer.
Understanding noise pollution in urban areas
Noise pollution refers to disruptive or harmful levels of sound that affect quality of life. In a bustling city like London, noise comes from countless sources – road traffic, trains, aircraft, construction, and more.
Prolonged exposure to high noise levels can have significant consequences, including stress, sleep disturbances, and even long-term health risks like cardiovascular disease. Investing in advanced noise reduction solutions such as Vacuum Insulated Glazing can dramatically improve your well-being by significantly reducing external disturbances.
What is Vacuum Insulated Glazing?
Vacuum Insulated Glazing represents the future of soundproofing and energy-efficient glazing. Unlike traditional double or triple glazing, which relies on air or gas-filled cavities between glass panes, Vacuum Insulated Glazing features an ultra-thin vacuum layer that virtually eliminates sound transmission and enhances thermal performance.
Key benefits of Vacuum Insulated Glazing:
- Exceptional acoustic performance – The vacuum layer prevents sound waves from passing through, offering superior noise reduction compared to standard acoustic laminated glass.
- Slimline design – With a thickness comparable to single glazing, Vacuum Insulated Glazing is perfect for period homes and conservation properties that cannot accommodate bulky modern glazing solutions.
- Energy efficiency – Vacuum Insulated Glazing delivers outstanding thermal insulation, helping you maintain a comfortable indoor temperature while reducing energy bills.
Is Vacuum Insulated Glazing right for your home?
Vacuum Insulated Glazing is particularly beneficial if:
- You live on a busy road or near public transport hubs, where noise intrusion is a constant issue.
- You live nearby HS2.
- You need a peaceful work-from-home environment, free from urban distractions.
- You own a period or conservation property, where traditional double glazing may not be an option due to planning restrictions.
- You want to maximise energy efficiency while reducing external noise.
Alternatives to Vacuum Insulated Glazing for noise reduction
For some homeowners, high-performance double glazing with standard acoustic enhancements may be sufficient. Sashed’s premium double glazing features:
- Durable hardwood frames that enhance insulation.
- Thermally efficient double glazing featuring 4mm glass, 16mm Argon gas-filled space, and another 4mm glass layer (4/16Ar/4)
- Q-Lon gaskets, fitted into every window as standard, eliminate sash rattle, enhance draught sealing, and significantly reduce noise.
While standard double glazing provides excellent thermal and acoustic benefits, homeowners seeking maximum noise reduction and ultra-slim aesthetics should consider vacuum insulated glazing.
Vacuum Insulated Glazing for conservation areas and listed buildings
If you live in a conservation area or listed property, your local authority may impose restrictions on window replacements. Many traditional acoustic glazing options are too thick to comply with conservation guidelines, but Vacuum Insulated Glazing’s ultra-thin profile makes it an ideal solution.
At Sashed, we specialise in bespoke Vacuum Insulated Glazing installations that preserve the character of period homes while enhancing comfort and functionality.
