Noise Reduction

Noise Reduction Solutions in Edinburgh

Many of our customers in Edinburgh come to us specifically to address noise problems. Whether it's traffic noise, neighbour disturbance, or noise from nearby commercial activity, our secondary glazing systems deliver outstanding acoustic performance β€” up to 80% noise reduction β€” without requiring any changes to your existing windows.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions β€” Edinburgh

How much does secondary glazing cost in Edinburgh?

+
Secondary glazing in Edinburgh typically costs between Β£300 and Β£500 per pane, depending on the size of the window, the type of unit, and the glass specification chosen. Bespoke installations for listed buildings or unusual window shapes may cost more. We offer free no-obligation quotes for all properties in Edinburgh β€” simply send us a photo and dimensions and we can provide an accurate price without visiting.

Do I need planning permission for secondary glazing in Edinburgh?

+
In most cases, secondary glazing does not require planning permission in Edinburgh because it is installed internally and does not alter the external appearance of the building. This makes it particularly suitable for properties in conservation areas and listed buildings throughout Edinburgh. We recommend checking with your local authority if you are unsure.

How long does secondary glazing installation take in Edinburgh?

+
A typical secondary glazing installation in Edinburgh takes between half a day and two days depending on the number of windows. Our installations are clean, tidy, and cause minimal disruption. Most installations in Edinburgh properties are completed in a single visit.

Will secondary glazing damage my existing windows in Edinburgh?

+
No β€” secondary glazing is installed internally and does not affect your existing windows in any way. It is completely reversible. This is especially important for period properties in Edinburgh with original timber sash windows, where preserving the existing frames is essential.

Is secondary glazing better than double glazing for noise reduction in Edinburgh?

+
Yes β€” secondary glazing consistently outperforms double glazing for noise reduction. Because a much larger air gap is possible (150–200mm vs the 16–24mm in a standard double glazed unit), secondary glazing achieves up to 80% noise reduction (54dB). If noise is your primary concern in Edinburgh, secondary glazing is the superior solution.
