Unwanted noise from traffic, aircraft, trains, factories or even boisterous neighbours can be reduced with the right selection of glass. Viridian VLam Hush™ is a laminate that uses a specially developed interlayer to dampen noise, providing enhanced sound insulation performance. By using this innovative laminate, thinner lighter glass can be used for an equivalent acoustic performance of thicker glass.

When you need natural light and privacy, frosted glass is a practical solution. Viridian’s LuminaMist (VLam Translucent) and LuminaCloud (DécorSatin) allow you to stay connected with the outside while keeping your indoor space private.
