These guys think so too. "The formula for reducing noise is to create a large airspace between the 2 windows, using 6.38mm laminated glass and acoustic seals." source:http://www.stopnoise.com.au/about-secondary-glazing.php?Sound-Reduction-4. Also, we use a lot of low e glass on reccommendation and I have certainly found it very effective on hot days. The energy efficiency assessors like it for other reasons. Time to do more homework. I will investigate further. cheers to all The best acoustic glazing involves very thick glass, and air gap only helps if it is over 100mm, but it is the glass that makes the difference. The larger the air gap the lower the heat insulation... 12mm is perfect. Low-E has it's problems, but the one benefit is reducing solar heat gain. Nowhere else in the world is it sold in single glazing, only Australia, for the reasons explained elsewhere. We supply it in double glazing, where it shields 80% of the incoming solar heat gain.
