Secondary Glazing and Sound Insulation
If you aren’t able to get a good night’s sleep due to the noise outside, you’ll know how frustrating it is to wake up several times a night and spend the next day feeling tired and worn out.
You could complain about your neighbours, but that’s not going to do anything for your quality of life. Perhaps the question you should instead be asking is ‘are you noise proof?’.
The old London tradition of adding secondary windows to a building with the purpose of insulating from noise and cold weather is something that we take great pride in. With a variety of window styles available, your home will keep the classic London look whilst improving your quality of life.
Many people believe that the only way to reduce noise pollution in your home is by installing double or triple glazing. However, secondary glazing offers a fairer solution.
Secondary glazing is the addition of an extra window to your primary, original one. It adds a layer of acoustic insulation which helps to block out external noise. The air gap is essential in reducing noise. The larger the gap between the two panels, the better; this increases the amount of time sound waves take to pass through and reduces the levels of noise entering your home.
The most popular secondary glazing that local glaziers London are recommending are horizontal sliders and vertical sliders, as these give you a generous amount of space to enjoy tranquility from outside noise from traffic, street activity and construction.
