Confused
Have one room which I would like to make just a little bit quieter - not a particularly noisy area but anyway ...
One window 175 x 116 cm internal dimensions.
Had a quote to supply and fit for £450 !! Supply only over £300. Now I am sure if it worth every penny and they are very professional but not as cheap as I was led to believe.
Anyway then found the diy options in particular linkline ("designed and developed by polycell") Kit would cost £136. Phoned a glazier to check the price of the glass - single glazed 4mm. Comes to about £50. Great! So change from £200 for the diy route.
However the glazier said that it would not make much difference to noise levels. I already have double glazed windows and can allow upto a 6 inch gap.
Is it right that it won't make much difference? I have read web sites saying it will make a significant difference.
Anyone have any experiences/comments.
P.S. I know they are not regarded as the prettiest thing in the world. I am ok with that.
