How to Soundproof a Glass Wall

This must be done first. If your glass wall stops at a suspended ceiling grid and does not extend to the structural deck above, sound will travel up and over the wall. Any treatment applied only to the glass will be limited in effectiveness.

To fix this, install CelluZorbe HD™ Ceiling Tile Backers above existing ceiling tiles to add mass and absorption or replace tiles with BlocknZorbe Soundproof Ceiling Tiles for added sound blocking performance. This closes the most common flanking path.

If the room includes a glass door, move to step 3. If you have a solid core door or are undecided during a new construction, this is one flanking path that must be addressed before installing any glass treatment.

To retrofit soundproof a solid core or solid wood doors, install a door perimeter seal kit. If you are open to a new door and desire heavy-duty soundproofing, install the Sound Lock™ Soundproof Door.

Once ceiling and door flanking paths are controlled, you can address the glass itself. Fantastic Frame™ Soundproof Window Inserts mount inside the existing frame and create an additional air gap, which significantly improves sound isolation. While this is a lot easier said than done, it has been done. Proper installation requires framing for mounting the insert, which will most likely result in the use of some framing mullions to accommodate the install.
