Noise sources, spec choices and typical cost
Sleep-disturbing noise from traffic, neighbours or nearby premises is fixable with the right glazing spec. On a Leicester survey we identify the dominant noise source, then quote the appropriate acoustic unit — usually a laminated/toughened combination with argon fill and warm-edge spacers.
How we fix it
We ask about the noise source (road, neighbour, aircraft, pub) and the current spec of your glass, then recommend an appropriate acoustic upgrade — usually a laminated + toughened combination with an asymmetric cavity. Acoustic double glazing: 6.4mm laminated inner pane, 20mm argon cavity, 4mm toughened outer. Gives ~36dB reduction (vs ~28dB standard) and cuts perceived road noise by around half.
- Genuine acoustic-rated glass units — not just 'thicker' glass
- Laminated inner pane also adds security benefit (P1A rating)
- Frame-to-reveal acoustic sealant fitted as standard
- Likely causes on Leicester homes: Standard 4-20-4 sealed unit — offers minimal acoustic reduction; Single-glazed original timber sashes on a busy street.
