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. My ideal would be to find a UK manufacturer who could supply me a very good noise insulated double or triple glazed window for this room.
Any ideas on who might be able to make a 'special' very efficient noise reduction window (it is a typical up stairs window, nothing unusual)?
I have looked at the usual suspects, but they are reluctant to commit to excellent noise reduction properties and can't do anything out with their norm (I just get the usual spiel about how wonderful they are with this cert. and that cert., but no real knowledge of different pane thicknesses, inert gas filled wider gaps, etc.).
Cost is not an issue (within reason of course) as a quiet bedroom is important to us. Any other suggestions are of course welcome.
Thanks
