Hi
We are trying to reduce the noise of traffic in our bedroom (which is next to a busy road)
The window is currently double glazed externally beaded and installed approx 1999 and is not very sound proof at the moment as you can hear the traffic.
We dont want to replace the window for just the sake of it, but we were told by one double glazing supplier that a new double glazed unit with 2 different glass thickness in the unit is better than a triple glazed unit with 3 panes of glass the same thickness?
Is this correct, or would a triple glazed unit with 3 different thickness of glass be the best. It would be going into a 70mm Veka fully scupltured profile if that's of any use?
We dont want secondary glazing as we wont be able to open the windows etc and would rather one new window which is virtually soundproof and a rated
Also do I need to mention that when they install that if there is a gap this is filled with insulation foam, or would they already know this?
Many Thanks
Lauren
