Soundproofing Sash Windows London
Living in a bustling city doesn't mean you have to tolerate relentless street noise. At Golden Ratio Windows, we specialise in Soundproofing Sash Windows London. By combining acoustic glass upgrades with comprehensive draught-proofing, we drastically reduce noise pollution while preserving the historic elegance of your period property.
The Ultimate Solution for Soundproofing Sash Windows London
For London homeowners, noise reduction is often just as important as thermal insulation. Sirens, traffic, and general city commotion can easily penetrate traditional single-glazed timber windows. Our bespoke services for Soundproofing Sash Windows London target the two main ways noise enters your home: through the glass itself, and through gaps in the sash frames.
1. Acoustic Glass for Period Properties
Standard double glazing is great for heat retention, but it is not specifically designed to block out low-frequency city noise (like traffic rumble). We offer highly specialised acoustic glass for period properties. Acoustic glass is made by laminating two panes of glass together with a special PVB (polyvinyl butyral) acoustic membrane.
- Significant Noise Reduction: Acoustic glass disrupts sound waves, cutting down noise by up to 40 decibels.
- Slimline Heritage Profiles: We can retrofit slimline acoustic glass directly into your existing original timber frames, ensuring you comply with Conservation Area guidelines.
- Added Security: The laminated inner core also makes the glass incredibly tough and shatter-resistant, improving your home security.
2. Comprehensive Perimeter Draught-Proofing
Even the best acoustic glass won't work if sound can bypass the glass through gaps in your window frames. Sound travels through the air, so a draughty window is a noisy window.
As part of our soundproofing service, we install an invisible perimeter draught-proofing system. We rout discreet channels into your timber sashes and insert premium weather-pile strips. This eliminates the rattles that plague old sash windows and completely seals the gaps where noise enters, compounding the effectiveness of the acoustic glass.
