I am new to the forum, so I hope I am posting this in the right place.
I am after some advice on secondary glazing, if anyone knows if this is the best option and if anyone can advise on a company to use (I live in Merseyside/Lancashire).
Our problem is namely noisy neighbours - a lot of car door slamming, late nights and neighbours going to work early. It's not so much an issue to us, but we have a little boy who is not a good sleeper anyway and he is continually getting woken up and our nerves are in tatters. We have tried dropping hints to the offending parties and even had a polite word, but nothing is changing.
We have some spare cash and are thinking that secondary glazing in his bedroom may help dampen the noise (we already tried a "window plug" using acoustic foam - didn't help.
The window (from memory) is about 1.4 x 1m so have no idea how much this would cost. I don't think the window that is in now is fitted very well, but it is double glazed.
Does secondary glazing work? Can you recommend a company?
I had heard some people say it makes high pitch noises louder? and as we have a lot of car horn honkers too, don't want to make it worse.
Thanks
