With traffic and noise levels predicted to increase within the coming years, we have developed the Pilkington Sound Simulator to help people select the most appropriate types of glazing, for every kind of commercial or residential property.

With functionality that enables testing of noise control glazing, the online tool highlights the benefits of Pilkington Optiphon™ versus standard float glass.
