Termopane windows or double windows?
I have a large single-pane window in my den (side-by-side slider) that
transmits road noise. I thought of replacing it with a new dual pane (thermopane) window to reduce noise transmission.This means ripping out the old window & frame. Another route to go is to place a duplicate inside window on the inside sill of the existing window, like an interior storm window. This site claims that a double-window is superior in suppressing noise than a single thermopane window. http://www.soundproofwindows.com/comparison.html Is this only salesmanship? Any opinions? -- Walter www.rationality.net - |

Of course just about anything will be better than most sliders. http://www.soundproofwindows.com/comparison.html Is this only salesmanship? Any opinions? -- Joseph Meehan Dia duit |
