    Poor sound insulation - windows

    Thanks masona - Looks absolutley fine (have seen some dodgy secondary glazing in my time) and like the idea of having the net or blind in between - didn't occur to me :) . Def. going this route. Thanks again to all who have given their advice.

    Poor sound insulation - windows

    Many thanks Chris, I am coming to that conclusion now, i.e. secondary glazing appears to be the most effective for both noise reduction and cost. Thanks again, appreciate the feedback.

    Poor sound insulation - windows

    Thanks JohnD, Makes sense (considering my downstaris windows appear to be better than those upstairs that face the same way). I have just looked from the outside and see that at least one upstairs window has quite a gap above it that has been filled with silicone (about 3 inches as opposed to...

    Poor sound insulation - windows

    Thanks xerxes, the gap size was a factor I didn't quite realise that the 20-30mm norm is much poorer for noise. Will be seeking out a supplier able to do much a wider gap. The gaskets and frame seals do look/feel OK. Thanks again

    Middle floor radiators very poor

    Hi all, Was hoping for some advice about my gas central heating. It is a closed system and only 2 years old (new house). Have kept on at the builder of course, but their engineer keeps saying there is nothing wrong so before I press harder can anyone help? We have 3 floors and the radiators...
