Any good contractors here?

Or any recommendation?

To achieve good soundproof, it really depends on your budget for replacing windows.
The price varies a lot.

Please look for laminated or double glazed windows glass.
This will perform better than typical windows but the price can be easily >200%.

The cheapest solution is to buy rubber strip to seal your current windows edge, no windows replacement.
Otherwise, please look for windows, glass or aluminium contractors (German window, Reliance Home, or etc).

search for "double glazed windows malaysia" or "double glazing glass malaysia"
its gonna be very expensive

Maybe can DIY with some soundproofing / adhesive materials on window panels.

Thanks, will check it out. I plan to replace the entire window frame... 20 year old already. Time for a face lift.

around what price for the double glazed window? condo size

There is no "standard" condo size.
The price depends on frame materials, glass type, thickness and etc.

Let's give some examples:
* A "normal" 3' x 4' windows (2 panels), 5mm, around RM300-RM400.
* A laminated glass 3' x 4' windows (2 panels), 6-8mm, with high performance frame, around RM500-RM800.

Not sure about double glazed as I have never bought it.
Please expect slightly higher price than the examples above.

I use German Windows soundproof windows because I lived near to mosque, recently their volume higher but when I closed the windows, it sounds so much better.

Their soundproof windows come with security features therefore I didn't put grills, looks nicer too.

You can contact them thru Facebook or thru their website.

I have never used German windows but heard many good words about them.

And I do believe it also commands a premium price.

What’s a ballpark figure that you paid for, just to set my expectation

Thanks will check them out.

Prices for my condo ranges from 2.5 - 4k each but they're big windows.

My windows are quite large piece, range about 3.5k plus with installation and SST.

Has anyone tried soundproof curtains? I live in a rental so I can't change the Windows. I live in Penang and there's a straight road below me which jeans motor bike tend to speed through here all hours of the night..

Hi,

The size can be customize right ?

@Zwean, which supplier did you go for in the end? How is it holding up so far?

going to necro this thread. Anyone can share rheir experience witj their supplier and how much?

Also looking for information.

rubrubrub did you finally decide?
Yours is house or condo?

I am replacing my windows with double glazing lowE. Can report back on the workmanship in a month or so. Scouted for many companies, used the recommendations from the forum and got in touch with most of them.

Some gave poor consultation or simply have no idea on the glass specs they push on me, some dont even know the difference between U-value and UV-transmission, some cannot respond to inquiries at all or communicate with their staff. This was my experience with the larger providers for alluminium and uPVC windows. Some of the frames offered were very very convincing but if the company has very very limited knowledge about what sort of glass they put inside that frame this is of little use.

I also found companies with great glass but rather unsuitable frames with super old style locking mechanism.

I the end found an in between solution where I placed more importance on the glass than the frame as this was most important to me.

If installation etc. is good I will place a recommendation here.

Can know the contact and the estimate cost?

I dont think my costing will be of any use to you. It depends on the glass specification and I possibly went a bit overboard with what is essentially tripple glass with lowE but without any opening mechanism.

If you make the windows openable the cost increases, if you go for highend glass its the same. Then the size(s) of the window in question will also matter.

One fixed window for my setup with a size of 94" x 34" is around 3,150.00


If the installation and workmanship of the company is good I dont mind sharing. For now that is unknown.

I’m using Optima Windows
Laminate…7mm++ can’t remember the specs and price too long ago. But sound proofing and build quality is top notch.

It was expensive but boy, nothing to complain about for the product delivered.

Feedback on my glass configuration: 4mmTempered + 4 PVB + 4mm Tempered LowE + 12 Airgap + 4mm Tempered works very very well. Glass barely gets warmer than ambient. Direct sunlight around 38°C top temperature.

Installation and frame were soso. If you can tahan a standard installation then its fine. I would have expected more but well. I assumed this would be the case. Frame margin or error is sometimes visible, workmanship is OK but not great. If anyone wants I can share contractor. Cannot give an unreserved recommendation if you want to retrofit.
