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..

    • I thought the most they sell in terms of hot food at londis is like pastries and sausage rolls and for hot drinks its like costa coffee but its always a convenience store. Doesn’t look too bad in my opinion considering that shop has been closed down ever since i moved here
    • Hi Busterb, Yesterday I turned up with a scanner & towels, hoping to take a deceased tabby down to TNV. The body was moved moments before arrival & had not been turned in to any vets, rescues or animal hospitals. I am wondering if this could have been the same cat & if someone just tried to move the tabby further away from the road. Please be warned, viewers discretion is advised. but this is what the deceased tabby looked like: https://www.facebook.com/groups/900015513463302/permalink/3729980853800073/  In any case, if you haven't been able to get someone to scan or take down to a vet, I can scan tomorrow morning.
