Question
- Will Secondary
Double Glazing eliminate draughts?
Answer
- Yes, but we recommend that you draught proof the existing
window as well
Question
- Will Secondary
Double Glazing reduce noise?
Answer
- Yes, considerably, for extra sound proofing consider
a different thickness of glass to the existing glass,
different thicknesses cut out different wave lengths
giving improved noise reduction.
Also consider laminated glass
for improved sound reduction, apart from ordinary laminated
glass there is now a new generation of acoustic laminated
glasses.
For additional reduction of noise
pollution leave a 4" (104mm) cavity, line the reveals
with acoustic tiles leaving a 3mm gap between the tiles
and the prime window. Once again draught proofing the
existing window is vitally important, you would be amazed
that people/firms do not carry out this basic requirement
Question
- Will Secondary Glazing
reduce heat loss?
Answer
- Yes, the cavity formed between the prime and secondary
windows is an effective thermal insulator, if the cavity
is more than 4" (104mm) then you can get thermal
currents within it that will decrease the insulation
value.
