Secondary/acoustic glazing

A question about : Secondary/acoustic glazing

Hi folks,

Does anyone have any recommendations for companies in NI who install secondary glazing? We want to reduce road noise so secondary glazing seems like the best option.

Thanks for any advice!

• If you have wooden window frames, you can use clear plastic sheeting fixed to the frames. Make sure the windows still open i.e. not one big sheet over the whole window area as the opening window might be needed as a fire escape. (Hopefully never needed, but always have to be careful). The secret to sound insulation is the distance between the panes - large gap for sound insulation - but a large gap is bad for heat insulation as convection currents occur.
