Thinking about soundproof windows?

Near a road, flyover or building site, soundproof windows can make a big difference. What to look for.

What makes a window quiet

  1. Sealing: gaskets and the seal around the frame often matter more than the glass itself.

  2. Glass: laminated or insulated glazing generally blocks more noise than a single pane.

  3. Opening type: a closed casement usually seals better than a sliding window.

Advice

Tell the member firm where and when the noise comes from, ask for a suitable glass and window type, and get the glass make-up and thickness written into the quotation. Replacing external windows is usually minor works and must be done by a qualified contractor.
