Sound ingress via windows is a significant nuisance in London, across all sectors; frequently cited as a cause of sleep disturbance at home and broken concentration in the work place.
Secondary glazing is widely regarded as the most effective solution. However, it’s not always suitable; it may not conform to listed building consent, satisfy more stringent sustainability criterion or complement a particular interior design.
An alternative are acoustic window shutters, acoustic window boxes and acoustic window plugs. They can be designed as blank panels, which also serve to block out light, or as framed glazed panels.
