Best way to soundproof glass for a French door?
(OP)
I am having custom interior doors made for my psychotherapy office. They will be double doors, about 27" wide and close to 8' tall. I would like to add frosted glass panels to the door (single panel, French door style), but I do not want to lose the soundproofing quality of thick (maybe 1 3/4 in.) solid core doors. Is there any way to add frosted glass and preserve the sound-proofing quality of the door? Should I use double pane tempered glass, with (argon?) gas in the middle of the glass sandwich. Or is impact glass better? Not sure that it can be frosted though. And it is much more expensive and heavy.

There's no reason a laminated unit couldn't use frosted glass.

For an application like yours, a 6 mm glass / 12 mm lami / 6 mm glass unit would be pretty common.
