Living near the Wessex Way or the Airport is loud.
Most homeowners try to fix it with standard double glazing. They think more glass is the answer. It usually isn’t.
The low rumble from HGV engines and jet take-offs goes straight through normal windows.
The Triple Glazing Myth
People assume triple glazing is the ultimate fix. It is a waste of money for noise.
Standard triple glazing uses three panes of the same glass. They all vibrate at the exact same rate. The noise just jumps from one pane to the next and enters your living room.
You spend thousands on an upgrade that still lets the traffic rumble inside.
The Acoustic Fix
To stop noise, you have to kill the vibration.
You need acoustic laminated glass.
We use a unit with different glass thicknesses. Inside the glass, there is a hidden layer of sound-dampening plastic. This layer acts as a buffer. It stops the vibration dead before it reaches the inside of your house.
Kill the Vibration
When traffic noise hits the window, the acoustic layer absorbs the energy.
The rumble stops at the glass. It doesn’t matter if it’s a bus outside or a plane overhead. The noise cannot travel through that plastic internal layer.
Dead Silence
The result is actual silence.
You get a living room that feels completely disconnected from the road. You can actually hear yourself think, even with a bus driving past the front door.
The Proper Spec
Standard windows are for heat. Acoustic windows are for sanity.
