Bro Beancounter and Manutdgiggs, does double glaze windows really help alot to reduce the noise from highway? or it is still depend on the distance between the highway to the condo and the workmanship( gap etc) ...
double glaze windows not only reduce.....its almost 99.90% sound insulation from the outside world.
try book 4hrs of sleep at any transit hotel at changi. you will be forgiven for not knowing just outside yr 'windows, there is one plane just took off.
otherwise try book a night at a good hotels. maybe Hilton or le meridien. you will be amazed.
I was lucky enuf to stay for one week at Vortex. to my surprise even for my constant negative views of monoland's product, the unit at vipod is very well insulated. mind you vortex is almost like glass wall, from ceiling to floor. Also southview of Bangsar South, Alila/the establishment.
wat not happied is Getaway residences and to some extend, Tropicana Garden. Maybe the construction of the office block and the mall do have some impact.
yes quality of glass, the frame that encased the glass and the quality workmanship that installed the panel are all very important. as most noises are travelled thru the gap and not thru the glass panel.
