Secondary Glazing Case Study – Asia House, Manchester

Project Location: Asia House, Princess Street, Manchester, M1 6BE
Company: Invision Secondary Glazing
Service: Acoustic Secondary Glazing Installation
Glass Specification: 10.8mm Acoustic Laminated Glass

Secondary Glazing Installation in Manchester City Centre
Invision Secondary Glazing recently completed a high-performance secondary glazing installation in Manchester city centre at Asia House, Princess Street. The building is located in a busy area of Manchester, exposed to constant traffic noise, pedestrian activity, and general city-centre sound pollution.
The client required an effective acoustic secondary glazing solution to significantly reduce external noise while retaining the existing large windows.

The Challenge: Noise & Large Windows in Manchester
Asia House features exceptionally large windows measuring 3200mm x 2590mm. Due to their size and the building’s central Manchester location, high levels of noise were entering the property, causing disruption to occupants.
Key challenges included:
* Heavy traffic noise from Princess Street
* Continuous pedestrian noise typical of Manchester city centre
* Very large window sizes requiring a strong, bespoke glazing system
* A need to improve sound insulation without replacing the original windows

Our Solution: Acoustic Secondary Glazing
Invision Secondary Glazing designed and installed a bespoke secondary glazing system using 10.8mm acoustic laminated glass, specifically chosen for its excellent sound-reduction properties.
The internal secondary glazing created an effective acoustic barrier, reducing the transfer of noise from outside while maintaining the appearance of the original windows — a key benefit for properties in central Manchester.

The Results: Reduced Noise & Improved Comfort

The installation has delivered a noticeable reduction in:
* Road traffic noise
* Street and pedestrian noise
* General city-centre background sound
Occupants now benefit from a quieter, more comfortable internal environment, making the space far better suited for daily use.
