Studio Window Glass
I just bought a house with a 2 room basement. I am in the process of converting it into musical space and have this wall between the rooms stripped down to the studs.
I would like to put a small window between the rooms and frankly, haven't any idea what type of glass is appropriate for this type of application. I have a glass company doing other window upgrades and they weren't much help but I bet they could source a glass product for this application. Can anyone suggest what type of glass is best for this application? The glass company suggested double paned laminate but I would like to hear from professionals. Gary V |

Here's an outfit that's been showing their wares at the NAMM show for the past several years and seem to be in it for the long haul. They offer a line of pre-fab windows and doors for home recording studios. You might want to take a look at and price their products. https://www.soundproofstudios.com/ho...ording-studio/ -- For a good time, call http://mikeriversaudio.wordpress.com |

You want double-paned laminate BUT you want it mounted so that it's cocked slightly up or down so acoustical reflections don't strike you right in the face. Soundproof Windows Inc. sells a bunch of windows for studio use. They are good, although I haven't compared them with homebrew jobs directly. They have really cool promotional coffee mugs at the trade shows. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

Also you don't want panes to be evenly spaced. As
Dorsey suggested, glass tilted down - on both sides, so they are farther apart at top. Reduces sympathetic transmissions of sound. |

Gary V Thanks to all for excellent advice. A glass company rep suggested lam glass for the basement windows which I intend to replace as they are single pane and kind of shabby. He said the lam glass is about 1/4" thick, like auto glass. I don't do loud sound but I don't want to disturb my neighbors, so that's important to me. Gary V |

Laminated glass is stiffer and better dampened than plate glass so transmits less vibration even as a single pane. Clearly multiple panes of laminated glass is even better, so it depends on your budget and other factors. Trevor. |
