Describe the noise
A busy road may call for a different assessment from voices in a square. Explain when the disturbance occurs and which rooms matter most. Reviewing the actual situation helps identify a suitable window and glazing combination.
Look beyond glass
Acoustic glazing functions within a combination of frame, seals and installation. Ventilation openings and other facade elements can also transmit sound. Ask for a proposal that includes these routes and clearly explains any performance information being used.
Set clear expectations
Discuss the comfort you want without assuming a universal promise of silence. Ask which configuration any acoustic figures describe. Record whether further assessment is needed and how ventilation will operate within the selected approach to reducing noise.
