Hi,

I'm about to make some decisions to replace all windows of my house for sound proofing purposes, the problem is the my contractor told me it's always best to replace with double glazing windows that is push out type, however, I do have a serious problem with this, my house grills, all of them are fixed outside, so I can't install the push-out type double glazing windows, the only option is sliding windows.

So would I inquire your experience whether does double glazing sliding windows make a lot of difference on sound proofing?

Any comments are appreciated.

Thanks!

if u install ur window grill outside instead of inside, thief will find it easy to dismantle them, combined with a sliding window, thats make up for a much easy job to break-in. Sliding window and sliding door does not require much effort to remove it, u just need a screw driver the sliding window can be taken out. Its one of the worst security you could have install for yourself.
