I
live on a busy road. How do I reduce traffic noise?
Omega supplies a wide range of secondary glazing
solutions which if correctly fitted can significantly reduce traffic noise.
ü Fit
secondary glazing ideally 150-200mm away from your existing glass
ü Use
a different thickness of secondary glazing to your primary window. Most primary
glazing is 4mm so 6mm secondary glazing is usually a good option
ü Specialist
acoustic laminate glass is very
effective
ü Ensure
when fitted it is well sealed
There are a number of other things that can help too.
§ Ensure
your existing windows are well fitted and sealed. If possible good quality double
or triple glazing will help.
§ If
you are in a listed property there are firms that will refurbish sash windows
§ Fit
internal shutters, well sealed along the edges and frame (price £700-2000 a pair)
§ Endure
your cavity walls and roof are well insulated.
§ Fitted
carpets and soft furnishings can help muffle sound
