Basic Window Soundproofing
Basic Window Soundproofing
The most effective way to insulate a domestic window is using secondary glazing (See left). A sealed air gap between the first double glazed window and the second double glazed window provides a very efficient seal and works far better than any D.I.Y solution.
If you are looking for a temporary solution or do not wish to install secondary glazing then a removable window plug can be constructed using our Materials.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS WILL REMOVE ALL NATURAL DAYLIGHT FROM THE ROOM.
You will need a combination of a barrier product and a sound absorbing product to reduce the external sound coming in. The best way to achieve this is to buy an MDF board that fits neatly within the window frame and adhere to this our products outlined below.
Instructions
1) Add two battens to the top and bottom of the inside of the window Recessed as shown in the illustration.
2) Adhere foam barrier composite to the top and bottom of the window Sill
3) Adhere foam barrier composite to the mdf board and ensure when it's butted up against the battens it provides a snug fit.
4) Improve the performance by doubling up the layer of foam barrier Composite.
The board is then held in place using tension latches.
