Had the front room and main bedroom wooden windows replaced with PVC ones about a year ago. The wooden ones used to get a lot of condensation which was caused by poor insulation. The new ones are considerably better and it is rare to even see any condensation. The new ones don't have trickle vents. I don't know why I wasn't even asked.
I am now looking to get the back bedroom/study, stairway bay window and the kitchen window and door replaced. I am going with a different company as the last companies quote is too high.
I have been asked if I wish to keep the trickle vents.
Part of me is thinking that they are a good idea but on the other hand I always kept them closed and don't have damp issues and as I live next to a main road I don't know if they will let in more road noise if fitted.
Are windows with trickle vents noticeably worse with sound insulation?
Thanks
