Acrylic
Acrylic window inserts are a lightweight and cost-effective option for custom window inserts, making it easy to install, remove, and retrofit. When paired with a proper air gap and airtight seal, acrylic provides effective sound reduction, improved energy efficiency, and UV protection, helping create a quieter and more comfortable indoor space.
Acrylic inserts are well suited for budget-conscious projects where weight, removability, and overall value matter most. While laminated glass offers higher sound control in demanding environments, acrylic remains a practical and proven solution for many homes and buildings.

Laminated Glass
Laminated glass provides the highest level of sound control for custom window inserts. Made from two layers of glass bonded with a clear interlayer, laminated glass absorbs vibration rather than transmitting it, which significantly reduces both high-frequency and low-frequency noise.
In addition to superior sound reduction, laminated glass offers strong UV protection, improved security, and long-term durability. This makes it the preferred option for homes and buildings where maximum performance and comfort are required.

Tempered Glass
Tempered glass is a strong, durable option for custom window inserts and is commonly selected for safety, clarity, and building code compliance. The heat-treated glass offers excellent impact resistance and long-term durability, making it a reliable choice for both residential and commercial applications.
Tempered glass provides moderate sound reduction and performs well in everyday noise conditions. While it does not offer the same level of acoustic damping as laminated glass, it remains an effective solution when strength, safety, and structural performance are the primary considerations.

Our Customers Frequently Asked Us
FAQs
What are patio door inserts?
Patio door inserts are custom interior panels designed to fit over existing sliding or patio doors. They create an added insulating layer that improves comfort, reduces noise, and enhances energy efficiency without replacing the original door.
How do patio door window inserts help reduce noise?
Patio door window inserts reduce noise by adding an additional barrier and increasing the air space between the insert and the existing glass. This design helps block outside sound and is especially effective for patios facing busy streets or shared outdoor spaces.
Are patio door inserts available for sliding doors?
Yes. Patio door inserts are commonly used on sliding doors and function similarly to sliding window inserts. They are custom made to ensure a tight fit that minimizes drafts, vibration, and sound transfer.
What materials are patio door inserts made from?
Patio door inserts are available in several material options, including acrylic window inserts and glass. Acrylic options, sometimes referred to as plexiglass door inserts, are lightweight and impact resistant, while glass options offer a more traditional feel.
Can patio door inserts improve energy efficiency?
Yes. By sealing air gaps and adding an extra insulating layer, patio door inserts help reduce heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer. This can lead to more stable indoor temperatures and lower energy costs.
Will patio door inserts affect how my door operates?
Patio door inserts are designed to work alongside your existing door system. They install on the interior side and do not interfere with normal door operation when properly measured and installed.
Are specialized inserts available for large or unique patio doors?
Yes. Specialized inserts are available for oversized doors, multi panel patio doors, and unique configurations. Each insert is custom measured to ensure proper fit, performance, and ease of use.
Are patio door inserts removable?
Yes. Patio door inserts are fully removable, making them easy to clean or remove seasonally if needed. This provides flexibility for homeowners who want a non permanent upgrade.
