Noise-proof glazed patio door/window

[Lee Scoresby]

Looking for a contractor to recommend and install a single unit at ground-floor to the rear: sliding glass door and window.

We sometimes have a problem with 'neighbourhood noise' - put it like that. (Not helped by the uselessness of the Southwark noise nuisance team.) Fortunately, this noise is in the mid-upper part of the spectrum, rather than vibration, so glazing will stop it. So this new unit needs, in particular, excellent acoustic insulating capacity, altho thermal is also important.

Not looking to be ripped off, obvs, but we're looking for quality rather than cheap n' cheerful.

Had a glazing salesman round the other evening; what a clown!

"Don't worry about acoustic performance, laminated is all you need."

"Triple glazing? Thing of the past!"

And then: "Have you heard the cricket scores!"

Etc etc ...

I have searched and reviewed EDF posts re glazing contractors, which has been useful, but it would be great to get some fresh (2022/3) word of mouth, as well as hearing from someone who had an acoustic requirement similar to ours.

In fact, installing such a unit is reasonably bish-bosh. The challenge is locating a high-quality make and a reliable contractor. Oh yes, indeed ...
