The Ultimate Solution for Soundproofing Sash Windows London
For many London homeowners, effective noise reduction is just as crucial as thermal insulation. Constant sirens, heavy traffic, and general city commotion easily penetrate traditional single-glazed timber windows, disrupting the peace of your home. Our bespoke soundproofing solutions target the two primary ways noise enters a period property: straight through the thin glass, and through the tiny air gaps around 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 thickest acoustic glass will underperform if noise can simply bypass the glazing through gaps in your old window frames. Sound travels through the air; therefore, a draughty window is inevitably 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.
