Secondary Glazing SpecialistsSay Goodbye To Noisy Neighbours With Secondary Glazing
There are fewer things more frustrating than having noisy neighbours. From disturbing your cosy evening in to disrupting your working day with loud music or conversations, it can have a big impact on your professional and personal life.
Alongside disrupting your day, noisy neighbours can lead to a range of health issues that can affect your sleeping patterns and mood. In this latest article, we take a look at how noise pollution can impact your wellbeing and how secondary glazing can be a long-term solution.
The hidden toll of noisy neighbours
Getting a good night’s sleep is something that we all need. Experts suggest that we need around eight hours of high-quality, uninterrupted rest a night and failing to do so is linked to a wide range of health problems, including anxiety, depression, diabetes and even heart disease.
Noisy neighbours have a big impact on the quality of sleep we can get, with late night TV, regular gatherings and loud music interrupting your peace. While the occasional disturbance is part of life, regular noise can erode your physical and mental wellbeing and have a major impact on all aspects of your life.
What can you do?
If you are dealing with ongoing disturbances, then there are a few things you can do. The first is to have a word with your neighbours – as there is a high chance they are simply unaware of how much their noise is being carried.
If that does not work, then it might be worthwhile seeking the help of an independent mediator. That will be able to facilitate discussion between both parties to find an amicable solution. When things don’t improve, you can take the issue to your local authority. Under UK law, persistent noise that disrupts your home life or poses a risk to health may be classed as a statutory nuisance and if this is confirmed after investigation, the council can serve an abatement notice, requiring the noise to stop or be reduced.
How secondary glazing can help
One of the most effective methods for reducing noise pollution is to soundproof your property using secondary glazing. This is the process of adding a discreet secondary pane of glass inside your existing frame without needing to replace the original windows, making it ideal for period and listed properties.
The key to secondary glazing’s soundproofing properties is due to the air gap it creates between panes. Measuring in at around 100-200mm, this gap helps to break up sound waves, minimising their impact inside your home. Correctly installed secondary glazed windows can cut disruptive noise by up to 80%, creating a peaceful and serene space.
