My understanding of its price - 3k per piece, if one window has 2 pieces of glass, so 6k

Hi there, i think the jtl sales guy is the one who came to quote me too! I agree he really can talk but not sure the quality of the window!

He quoted me 4 k type III for 6 panels whilst the other smaller one is 2k with just 4 panels..

Is the dismantling and installation caused your unit dusty?

Hi, any others company beside Q-Windows and JTL?

I was at the Renovation Expo at KLCC yesterday and came across a few other suppliers:

- NORVA Innovation : norvawindow.com
- OPTIMA : optimawindow.com.my
- GOLDEN HORSE WINDOR : goldenhorsewindor.com

Here's my personal experience.

I live in an apartment where my living, master and 2nd bedroom are facing a busy highway. I changed my master bedroom window with VINCA about 5-6 years ago, followed by 2nd bedroom window by Q-Windows last year. I am currently scouting to change my living hall's sliding window.

Master Bedroom by VINCA:
- uPVC material, solid, and does what it says - reduced the traffic noise pollution.
- Price was reasonable back then, as I got a discount during Homedec expo few years ago.
- Limitation: uPVC material comes in white colour by default, so if you want another colour to suit your building's style, you need to pay extra to coat it.
- Service: Servicing agent was friendly and knowledgeable when it comes to acoustics.

2nd Bedroom by Q-Windows:
- Aluminium material, solid, overall window feels bulkier and heavier duty than VINCA.
- Reduces traffic noise significantly too.
- Price was reasonable considering installed only last year. (RM dropped..) You may check if your apartment/condo is listed on their site to receive offer: https://q-windows.com.my/window-replacement/condominium/
- Service: Servicing agent was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable.
- I oversaw Installation this time around and installers were professional, and friendly too.
- Went with Q-Windows instead of VINCA this time because Q-Windows got back to me quicker and with a cheaper quote (because their frame already has the colour I need, and my apartment was listed in their website with offer)

Overall, it depends on your budget and willingness to spend. Both VINCA and Q-Windows are good in my opinion.

I tried weather/rubber strips from Daiso/ACE hardware at first to try and seal off the air-gaps but it didn't really do much (It did reduce a little noise and dust). From what I know, the frame, the thickness of glass, and the installation - all plays a part.

The three other suppliers I saw yesterday at REX also seem positive. They use double-glaze, and aluminium. Price quoted were similar, but Golden Horse Windor was cheaper. It's still on today so you can go KLCC to check them out. VINCA is there too. Else, you may consider waiting til April for Homedec.

Considering it's not a cheap investment, I would suggest to actually visit their showroom or booth at expos to see/hear for yourself first.

Hope this helps those who are googling about sound proof windows malaysia

Cheers

anyone here with experience on soundproofing the ceiling of apartment ? does it work if i just do soundproofing on the bedroom ? sound or noise from the above living room will be heard from the bedroom or not ?

Hi, anyone installed additional laminated window after the original building window? Currently, my unit on 21th floor condo and this installer said seldom have complete window replacement in high rise due to leaking, risk and management issue. Advice to installed inside with all opening window to clean if necessary. Would like to ask if anyone did the same installation.

Actually higher floor also can do complete window replacement (fyi my brother stay at 40th floor, also change whole window.

Leaking might be caused by the "so-so quality of local windows" the frame already loosed or silicone not enough then water leaking will happened.

actually for strata properties, owners are not allowed to change the 'outlook' of the materials.
meaning if u can get a frame that is relatively the same size n color as the original window frame and glass color, u can discuss with management/council to seek approval.

there is no hard rules abt the law other than 'outlook' of the building

me: previous council member and read the by-laws of apartment/strata living
