Hi,

I'm trying to find info about double-glazed windows and soundproofing but so far have not been really successful in my search.

Does anyone know of contractors who have sufficient knowledge about this? I've mainly interested in assymetric double-glaze windows, their cost and if it's easy to replace ordinacry windows with them.

u can try upwards solutions. they are pretty good. wether or not its easy to replace depends a lot. if you take a good frame you will need to integrate an anchor system in the concrete. then the windows can be made precisely to order. installation is quick one, two day tops. problem might be if additonal work is needed to the fit the frame then you need to take out the old windows, get the work done, get the openings measured and then custom make the windows for it. so you have a period of no windows (or maybe they can put the old ones back for the time beeing - not sure). best to be done with a major reno job.

double glazing is efficient but if you really want to soundproof to need to "up the ante" - normal noise shut off, double glaze is enough ( i am happy with it).

How much does it cost for a double glaze window?? Thanks.

depends on size, quantity, quality and fittings choosen. 400 sqft of windows can range from upwards of 40k to 100k easily. it will very much depend on the window frames and the level of glass you choose.

The price should be in a few thousand range.

You could call 0362577860 for a quote. I have obtained a cheaper rate there compared to others.

What type of frames are you looking for?
