Browse Forums Windows & Doors Re: 10.38 lam vs double glazing 5Sep 27, 2010 7:21 pm Because I have never come across anyone recommending such a thick laminated glass for thermal purposes, I assume that you have a noise insulation application. 10.38mm laminated glass is likely to perform better acoustically then 3mm/6mm/3mm float combination. In some situations, a thick pane of laminated glass performs better than double glazing, when the air-gap is very small and the glass is not thick enough. Increasing glass thickness and lamination are used to improve acoustic performance in windows. Increasing glass thickness will have improved acoustic performance across both low and high frequencies, whereas using laminated glass is useful for high frequencies.
