How sound-insulating glass walls enhance privacy in open-concept Vancouver condos

Open-concept designs in Vancouver condos enjoy immense popularity but there’s one problem that diminishes the appeal for some: noise propagation. With no walls to stop sound coming from different areas like the kitchen or living room, it compromises the privacy of the whole space. Fortunately, this is exactly what sound-insulating office glass partitions/walls are meant to deal with.

As we discussed in our last article, glass walls are completely customisable. They can be made with adjustable levels of sound damping, depending on the need. For example, if you just want to cushion the sound coming from other areas but still maintain some awareness through hearing, a single, thick pane of tempered glass is enough. If you want more sound insulation, 2 panes will do the trick. If sound privacy is essential, for a home office, movie room, or recording room, for instance, consider 3 panes and/or the addition of plastic interlayers between the panes.

Whatever level of sound-insulation you need, you can get from professionally glazed office glass partitions and walls. Whether it is for general comfort, or to minimise disruption & increase focus, glass walls can deliver the right amount of sound protection and privacy you desire.

If you’re currently in a condo or are considering one, but find the open concept a bit problematic due to unregulated sound propagation, ask a Vancouver commercial glazing company about sound-proof glass walls. Glass walls allow for all the other benefits of an open-concept design, like feelings of inclusion, lots of light, and large, spacious rooms. But they also bring their own perks, like a beautiful and elegant modern aesthetic, and additional privacy.
