Hi all,

I am having some serious noise problems in my room in my condo. The main problem lies from the windows and noise outside.

Does anyone happen to know or can recommend any solution to soundproofing or reducing the noise through my windows. Maybe some vendor, contractor or somewhere which I can find this windows would be great.

Thanks a lot mate. Would really appreciate your help. Cheers!

I did come across this kind of window at some home expo.

But price is almost triple of normal aluminium window.

Cant remember what they call, basically 2 glass panel with air gap in between. Which means you need to change ur windown frame and that will be costly.

Cheapest solution, diy shop buy 3M window seal. That helps a bit, may be by 5-10db.

you need double or tripple glazed windows. no problem to get from any of the higher-end manufacturers. if you are willing to go for double/tripple then make sure you also get a really good window frame along the way. it's not cheap but well worth the money.

UPVC if not mistaken they called it.Cheers!

tinted the glass will help or not ? n cheaper also ..

UPVC means plastic frame only. many different products there. the main issue is the glass. must be minium double glazed to have any effect. just a tint has almost zero effect. glas - laminate - glas and maybe another tint (if thick highend one) will have a decent result. if you have two layers of glas, laminated or tinted with a gas chamber in between you usually get a much better result if i am not mistaken. but this would be one of the costlier solutions.

Yes, PJusa is right. Tat's the word, double glaze or kiasu triple glaze to reduce external noise.

Tat's what architect recommend for high end projects facing the highways. Sometimes, cheap skate developers will cut on this.

best & recommended solution is by installing double glaze window,check with Glass Network(M) Sdn Bhd..The price they offered is very reasonable compared to other suppliers in the market...FIY:tint etc will not reduce the noise pollution level...
