Acoustic Inserts
Advanced Glass: Acoustic Inserts for Mullions and Transoms
Modern buildings demand not only visual appeal and weather protection but also effective control of sound transmission. Acoustic inserts for mullions and transoms play a crucial role in maintaining interior comfort by reducing the passage of noise through aluminium curtain walling and window systems.
At Advanced Glass, we are able to integrate acoustic inserts into aluminium façade systems to achieve reliable performance without compromising design intent. Whether used in education, healthcare, or high-rise residential projects, our solutions support compliance with Approved Document E and CWCT guidance for acoustic performance.
Supporting Compliance and Quality
Our technical team ensures each façade design meets project-specific acoustic targets, verified through supplier data and design coordination. By combining acoustic inserts with high-performance glazing, insulation, and airtight detailing, we help contractors deliver façades that meet both Building Regulation and client acoustic specifications.
A Complete, Coordinated Solution
Advanced Glass provides a one-stop façade service, coordinating complementary products such as EPDM membranes, fire barriers, and acoustic inserts to ensure every system performs as intended. This joined-up approach reduces design clashes, speeds up installation, and provides contractors with a single point of accountability for compliance and performance.
Precision-Engineered Sound Control
We work closely with system suppliers such as Technal, Senior Architectural Systems, and Aluprof to ensure acoustic components align with tested system data, maintaining performance continuity across the entire building envelope.
Typical benefits include:
Reduced airborne noise transmission between internal and external spaces.
Improved occupant comfort in high-traffic or urban environments.
Integration without affecting thermal or structural performance.
Compatibility with CWCT-tested and fire-compliant façade systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
Aluminium windows offer durability, low maintenance, excellent thermal efficiency, and modern aesthetics, making them ideal for commercial applications.
Yes, modern aluminium windows feature thermal break technology to improve insulation, achieving low U-values meeting Part L building regulations and often exceeding it.
Options include double or triple glazing, solar control glass, acoustic glass, laminated safety glass, and enhanced security glass, depending on performance needs.
Yes, commercial aluminium windows can be PAS 24 certified and meet Secured by Design standards with multi-point locking systems with reinforced frames.
When properly maintained, aluminium windows can last 30 – 40 years, due to their corrosion resistance and high-quality powder-coated finishes.
Yes, they are available in a wide range of RAL colours, anodised finishes, and different configurations, including casement, tilt-and-turn, and sliding options.
Aluminium windows are designed to withstand extreme weather conditions, with high wind load resistance and water-tightness ratings to ensure long-term performance.
Minimal maintenance is needed – just the occasional cleaning and lubrication of moving parts is required to help ensure smooth operation and longevity.
Yes, aluminium is up to 100% recyclable, and many modern aluminium window systems use recycled materials, supporting sustainable building practices.
Lead times vary depending on customisation and project size, but standard windows typically take 12 – 16 weeks for design, manufacturing and delivery.
