Remember, noise comes through the frames AND the walls also as well as the
glazing.
Hope this helps,


It would have helped more than tripe glazing would have if you'd got the
double glazing in a wooden window. That way you can have them a nice
tight fit. Any problem and you just plane a strip off.

Lasts decades too. Plastic is a good heat conductor when you remember
that the air in the cavities is swirling aound in there carrying in
sound and out heat. That's the dry stuff. If it gets wet, forget it.

Doesn't rot though I will admit. Just looks bloody awful and worse if
you paint it. So you are either stuck with the original choice of colour
and carbon stains or the original colour and a bloody good washing every
month or so.
