For homeowners across Rochdale, Oldham and Bury who live near busy roads or railway lines, noise reduction is one of the most valuable benefits of upgrading to modern double glazing.
Sound travels as vibrations through solid materials and air. The gap between the two panes of a double-glazed unit, together with the sealed frame, creates a barrier that absorbs and dissipates sound energy. Modern double glazing typically reduces noise levels by 20 to 35 decibels compared to older single-glazed windows.
For properties with significant noise problems, acoustic double glazing is available with different glass thicknesses on each pane and a wider air gap. This can reduce noise by up to 40 decibels, a very substantial improvement to indoor acoustic comfort.
Even excellent glazing will not perform well if the frame is draughty or poorly sealed. A well-fitted uPVC frame with quality seals is essential for maximum noise reduction. See all the benefits in our guide on 10 benefits of double glazing for Manchester homeowners.
