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.

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.

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...

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

Many thanks windowszhang, I am rapidly coming to that conclusion too. Now trying to find a supplier who can supply good noise insulated windows. Thanks again

Hi all, I expect this is a common complaint - too much noise coming in through the window. I have UPVC double glazing, but am not far from a main road so the main bedroom window does not cut out enough of the traffic noise. I would consider secondary glazing, but would prefer not to fit it...

Many thanks PerryOne and yes they all have thermostatic valves. The wireless thermostat solution sounds very interesting/ideal and had never even considered or heard of them. Your explination and soulutoion sound great so again my thanks, I will seek out wireless thermostats. Best...

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...
