I know this is an old thread but I wanted to bring up the subject again...

We are expecting our first child and are having to re-arrange our flat to make more use of the space. Our kitchen is big enough to be made in to a open plan kitchen/living room combo, and the room that is now our living room will probably become our bedroom.


The only problem with that room though is how noisy it is due to big double deckers passing by outside and no double glazing. Will secondary glazing make a difference regarding the noise?

I live on a main road too and inherited secondary glazing on all the front facing windows. One day when the lottery win comes in I will have it all replaced with double glazed sashes, because it isn't very pretty, but it is very effective against all traffic noise (save sirens).

The other thing to think about though is that if u put double glazing into existing window frames in an old house and the frames don't fit perfectly as many of them don't - then the double glazing itself doesn't make a difference as we have recently discovered - now looking at secondary glazing cos of noise..

    • Sadly, but not unreasonably, councils find it difficult to justify such expenditure on their current budgets. My family, which does like fireworks have been enjoying the displays by those still with disposable wealth by viewing them from Hilly Fields. Other hills (Dawson Heights) are available. For children who have autumn and winter birthdays, a firework display is some consolation for their birthday climate. My grandchildren, being summer babies, can enjoy garden parties and picnics. Without the need for explosions and dazzling display. 
    • Hey - I’ve got a spare adult ticket if you want it?
    • Not sure what you mean by "involved with firework enjoyment"? I'm all for others enjoying themselves, and I like fireworks, but if they were limited to public displays then people could still enjoy them? Having said that, I see that tickets for the London New Year fireworks start at £20 (Dawson's Heights it is,  then!) The fireworks in Brockwell Park used to be free. I don't know why those don't happen any more?
