Double Glazing vs Laminated Glass - Traffic Noise
Comments (5)The prices sound fair especially considering that they include installation. Viridian have a variety of glass types that are specifically designed to deal with acoustic issues. Anything will be better than 4mm float glass. A reputable window manufacturer will be able to give you great advice on glass selection, if they can't find another one! If you really want to eliminate noise you would end up with 2 panes of glass about 100mm apart but it is unlikely you need to go that far (it is an uncommon solution)....See MoreHelp needed for our big reno plans
Comments (66)you are super-patient!!! :) :) thank you :) I'm so sorry but I do actually have a couple MORE thoughts!! argh! there are just so many different options.... and this is a bit of an all consuming puzzle to try to solve. here they are: 1) study could become main bathroom - leaving new Bed 4 as per plan since it is bigger & a better size for guests. in this option, some area could be stolen from the study to boost ensuite size - even if it just made the ensuite 1 full metre. Ideally not requiring study window to change. 2) WC could potentially be separate either within this space OR at the back of the old kitchen (allowing for the remaining, longish hall wall to be shorter again) oklouise you may think some of these ideas are not very workable & I'd be so glad for your feedback & comment (and anyone else's comments as well), it's really so incredibly helpful - unbelievably helpful - to have everyone's input. i'd love recommendations on which ideas & options might work best for that balance between function & budget...See MorePuzzle House Floorplan Advice
Comments (3)Really need an architect with the shape and fall of the land and in your design brief what you want to achieve view wise and room wise eg how many beds, views in what direction etc then they can design it best for block. Cheaper to have all plumbing together eg laundry and bathroom near each other and also there are building code rules about landings and doors which may affect your design etc. Good project and good luck...See MoreNoise Levels of Outdoor Aircon Units
Comments (17)Thanks annb we just try not to think about it too much, there's the offending neighbours house of brick then a brick fence 1200 and then 1000 to the front bedroom wall and a step back of approx 3 meters to our dining open plan. We have planted a Ficus hedge on the wall and planted Olive trees in front which we keep trimmed, just a funnel. I think with power costs he doesn't use it so much thankfully, As always thank so much for your support and positive input, Forget the Claytons. x...See Moresally wastie
