Secondary glazing involves adding an additional layer of glass or panel to an existing window. Secondary glazing is placed on the inside of the primary window, which acts as an additional layer. This creates an air gap between the existing window and secondary glazing. The gap work as a buffer zone, reducing the direct transmission of sound waves. The additional layer enhances the sound insulation compared to the single-glazed window.

The air gap created by secondary glazing help reduces sound vibration. Sound waves lose energy as they pass through the air-filled space. This reduces their intensity when they reach the inner layer of glazing. This dampening effect helps to reduce the impact of external noise, making the interior environment of the house quieter and more comfortable space.

The air gap along with the thickness and material properties of the secondary glazing, changes the pathway of the sound waves, absorbing them to a certain extent before they reach the inner space.
