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..

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
