Hi all,
this is my first post, been lurking for a while and picked up some useful tips, but none directly answer my current problem, so here goes.
I live on a busy road and wish to cut down on the traffic noise (buses & lorries)
The flat is double-glazed however i get a lot of noise through the trickle vents. Also pulled off some of the plastic trim around the windows to find fair sized holes at the sides. What would be the best product to fill in the holes before replacing the plastic trim around the windows? was thinking about splurting a load of caulk in there but not sure if this is the best product for the job. Also about the trickle vents is it ok to block these up, say with expanding foam? or is there a better solution?
all help greatly appreciated the noise disturbs my sleep
