Looking for solution for noise through our windows
Comments (4)Have a close look around the edges of the window for any gaps, if the window has an open-able component, check the seals are in good order and you can not see any daylight through any parts of the window frame. If you can feel a draft coming in from any part of the window it will also be letting sound in. I would also recommend looking above and below the window as sometimes there can be other gaps and holes letting in air and sound into the room. explore the simple problems first and then if you are still un-happy with the amount of sound entering the room, look at improving the glazing....See MoreBathroom noises!

Comments (10)If there are a number of large windows and glass doors on the road side, double glazing definitely helps. Use the glasses with different thickness and largest possible air gap in the middle to maximise noise dampening. We used to live on Princes Highway near traffic light which has quite a traffic all day long: tire noise, engine noise, and truck breaking noise. At night everything is a lot more audible. We retrofitted bed rooms sliding doors for the apartment with uPVC frame double glazed door and that was a big different. Don't go the route of clip on product, like Magnetite. They don't work as well as a proper double glazed windows and doors....See MoreDouble 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 More- last yearlast modified: last year
