Hi thank you for video. Could you tell me I’ve recently had an oak sash window replace because of road noise. I was advised that having an ova window with acoustic glass will stop the noise by at least 90% but this has not been the case. I’m unable to use the room for myself because of the noise. Would this be because it’s a bad fitted window or was I lied to with regards to replacing the old window seeing it’s probably only reduced the noise by around 5p10%.
Thank you for stopping by the channel! Sound reduction in a room depends on many things, not just the window but also the installation in the walls and the roof. Oak and special glass should help reduce noise, if indeed Oak was still the new window frame. However, if the window wasn't installed properly, especially if the gaps weren't filled correctly, it might not block sound as well as expected. Proper installation, from the walls up to the window is key to making sure you get the most noise reduction. And if you replaced a square window with an oval window then all that gap space needs to be meticulously insulated to ensure no additional sound comes in. I hope this helps and allows you a better idea of how your window was installed. If you want to share more detail please feel free and we are happy to help the best that we can.
I just had windows replaced in the spring. The other day it was a little chilly with wind and I felt the area around the windows a bit chilly for a casement window with a U factor of .21. I am afraid that when the real cold weather comes in winter, I am not going to like my windows. Is it possible that they could have sealed them better ? What could I ask them to do if I discover discomfort 6 months after the install?
Sorry to hear you are having issues with your new windows. It does sound like there could be a seal problem around some of the windows if you are noticing a temperature difference. If you are noticing issues now it would be best to reach out to them now for an inspection before it becomes a more noticeable problem when the weather turns colder. When communicating with the company, you could ask them to: -Schedule a visit to assess the installation and check for any gaps or leaks in the window sealing. -Request a thorough inspection of the windows to identify any potential areas where cold air might be entering. -Discuss the possibility of resealing or addressing any issues found to ensure better comfort and performance. Also remember to start documenting any specific instances of discomfort or cold air around the windows, as well as any temperature fluctuations you observe. This information will be helpful during your conversation with the company. Hope this helps, if you have any other questions don't hesitate to let us know.
I bought a new build and my windows were installed incorrectly right from the get go. The replaced the case part but I knew the whole frame needed to be replaced in many if not all my windows. Is there anything I can do to get them to man up to the replacement of the frames. As gaps along the edges are smaller to bigger
